biological processes. Two other pilots are beginning in Spring 2010. A section of an introductory programming course offeredto students enrolled in Electrical Engineering will be taught using MPCT‟s pedagogical approach and willinclude projects that simulate dynamism in electrical systems. A section of a statistics course attended bystudents of psychology will also include elements from MPCT with the expectation that the process ofconstructing simulators of stochastic systems will assist in students‟ understanding of coupled andindependent random processes. We are also adapting this approach of motivating math from concrete problems to the teaching ofalgorithms. There, the objective is to use specific problems as a vehicle for teaching

university. To evaluate effectiveness, a double-blind IRB-approved study has beenconducted in COP4331 involving 206 students. All enrolled participated identically, except fortheir assignment to either randomly-formed or intelligently-clustered remediation groups. At theend of the semester, all students completed an identical Final Exam to provide a basis by whichto compare their relative achievements. The data collected expounds upon the details of Auto-PLC’s impact towards achievement on a topic-specific basis. Additionally, learners’ perceptionsof digitized assessments and participation in recitation-based peer learning cohorts are discussed.1.0 MotivationThroughout the industrial practice and instructional roles across engineering and

There is not muchresearch in the use of concept inventory for instructors because concept inventories, as anassessment tool, is supposed to be designed by the instructors for the students. However, wesought to validate and use this instrument adaptively for both students and teachers who areinvolved in the learning and teaching of these engineering concepts. For this pilot

In this paper, we present one of thoseprojects in which the goal of the UAS is to search, detect, and identify an approaching vehicle,then relay the identity of the vehicle to a ground station in an environment with radio frequency(RF) interferences. The project team had seven students from four different majors: SystemEngineering Management, System Engineering, Computer
