their “anxiety about grades” and careerpreparation. In thermodynamics, students would remark “…’well you’re taking away time Ishould be using to learn x content of the class’… they get this sense that if you’re takingtime away from that, they get upset.” A professor who taught capstone design in electricaland computer engineering experienced similar pushback from students who found teachingESI in that course: becomes very problematic not to see it as a bolt-on for the course and then you’re taking time away from something valuable you could be doing, something the students are going to ding you on when it comes to evaluation time.Students’ perception that ESI content comes at the expense of more valued technical contentcan create a wall of

describes how to provide collaborative learning opportunities and fast feedback onexam performance by adding a team component to examinations. The method is supported byresearch in collaborative and active learning pedagogy and has been applied to computer sciencecourses ranging from first-year programming to graduate-level artificial intelligence. This paperrelates the use of team tests in two different university settings, with a range of implementations.Furthermore, it offers suggestions for customizing the technique to fit a specific classroomenvironment.1.

. Then the paper presents a broader impact of thecourse: two transferable modules (one on correspondence and one on report writing). Finally, thepaper concludes with thoughts about a formal assessment of this new approach. If found to besuccessful, this new approach would present an alternative paradigm for teaching writing in largeengineering colleges.Background: Although the course goals and structure are similar with traditional coursesin technical writing, the connection with the design course deepens the content Like many traditional technical writing courses, our pilot course (Effective EngineeringWriting) consists of goals specific to engineering writing. These goals include targeting theaudience, learning strategies for types of

new skills. For example, the students with themost prior programming experience would often take the lead on programming work, whichclosed off opportunities for students new to programming to gain access to such experiences.The closing off of opportunities is especially problematic since many students enter the courseexpressing a desire to pick up new skills such as Computer Aided Design (CAD), 3D printing,and programming. In other words, the prior-experience based role-distribution within teams hurtsstudents’ ability to make progress towards their own learning goals.Additionally, this specialization leads to a silo-ing of team members to their specific task,limiting opportunities for them to engage with all aspects of the design process

students to apply and reinforce their knowledge. Mainly they will take stuff directly from class and apply it to this project. So last year I had them work on [how to] make people participate in recycling programs. This year, we were interacting through the computer science department to design human powered devices. So they come up with a bench warmer for sporting events. Someone sits there and pedals, warms up the other people on the bench. There was another person proposing a pitching machine for baseball. So instead of having an electrically powered automated pitching device, you have somebody pedaling, and it throws different pitches.Contextual features are embedded into the learning experience

Unfortunately, such extensive and deep flexibilities are not providedin current cybersecurity curriculum.Furthermore, there is a definite gap in the Computer Science (CS) background ofunderrepresented minorities, including women as they enter undergraduate level educationalinstitutions [1]. In the past, mandatory K-12 CS education has consisted largely of learning touse various software rather than including concepts, skills and practices needed by computerscience engineers and technicians. Very little attention has been paid to developing the skillsneeded to prepare the students for entering the CS workforce. Recently, there has been a newemphasis on computer science

Classrooms have remained teacher centric, learning in classrooms is overwhelminglya passive exercise, and standardization of curriculum and testing continues to remain the order ofthe day. Driven by the needs of Industry 4.0 and associated speed of technological change,conversation has started in many concerned circles about the future of work and future ofeducation. What should Education 4.0 look like? Here are some relevant quotes from recentpublications.“The emerging technologies have huge effect on the education of people.

Therefore, to address these areas, UTA hasrecently created a new first year engineering course that uses the Student-Centered ActiveLearning Environment with Upside-down Pedagogies (SCALE-UP) method. This presentationwill include an overview of not only student performance broken down by several student groupsbut also early surveys showing student perception of the effectiveness of this method. The resultswill show that these pedagogies are effective in aiding students to learn the principles ofengineering. In addition, student surveys will show

In this study, the committee identified that students were ill-equippedin engineering problem solving methodology and basic engineering computer programming. Toaddress these concerns, a new course named Engineering Problem Solving was created utilizingthe Student Centered Active Learning Environment with Upside-down Pedagogies (SCALE-Up)method. This class has aided in improving student retention and persistence in engineering.However, to further enhance this effect, Supplemental Instruction (SI) was added to the existingjust-in-time tutoring model
