Skipping homework assignments is a strong (negative) indicatorof engagement with the course. For the semester described in this paper, no student earned agrade of “B” or higher while skipping more than 3 of the 28 assignments.

This setof boards is synchronized via the Raspberry Pi to a central PC, allowing the four regions of thecourse to run in parallel and provide the opportunity for competition between four robots.From the student perspective, the system is simplified and abstracted through a touch screeninterface that

To the end of improved training in software testing for our students, this paper presents empiricalstudies conducted in multiple undergraduate CS/SE programming courses at two large publicuniversities (University A and University B). The goal of our study is two-fold: 1) to evaluate theimpact of using WReSTT on the undergraduate students’ acquisition of knowledge and proficiencyof using testing techniques and tools, and 2) to demonstrate that using WReSTT resulted inimproved learning for students on their programming assignments and their ability to use testingtools on their team projects.1 http://wrestt.cis.fiu.edu/about-wrestt

The other student from the experimentalgroup expressed, however, that the app was less motivating because the pencil and paperactivities were required in the course, whereas the use of the app was optional.These findings also paralleled themes based on answers to the open-ended survey question, “Iwould have played the AR app more if ...”. Of 26 responses, eight stated that they would haveused the AR app more if it offered a larger variety games and options.

The partitions help in creating a finer mesh aroundthe hole and in the vicinity of the fillet where the stress concentrations occur. The meshed model ofthe part is provided in Figure 1(c) showing the axial stress contour exerted on the plate.
