Conversely, we relish the students who might be described as less giftedfor learning who triumph over their limitations to produce stellar work because they work hardand aspire to be the best. There has been a significant amount of research done attempting toqualify and quantify success in education, life, and career. This is a clear indicator of thecomplexity of the problem at hand and it is

I have had students who now, a year or two aftercompleting the course, still like to engage me in conversation about geo-poetry. The teachingportfolio essays, referenced previously, indicate that I was having fun and while I feltuncomfortable reading the poetry, I was notably very confident in the other aspects of myteaching. Perhaps the most significant measure of my post-poetry confidence is the frequencywith which I share this experience with my peers and indeed my interest in writing thisconference paper.A total of 35 students were enrolled in my two sections of the Spring 2012 administration ofCE371.

suggest activities such as: listen, take notes, chat, sleep, read, and so on. When asked what they think might happen in a studio they usually suggest: paint, draw, sculpt, write, and other active pursuits. The difference is clear. The focus in a studio is on work done by the student. That is the key distinction.1While this definition (or refusal to make one) is useful in understanding and appreciating thecreative freedom and pedagogic experimentation in that school's reform of the introductoryengineering curriculum, the lack of a specific definition may serve to make assessment of studiocourses more difficult than necessary. Indeed, the distinction offered seems to be more betweenlecturing and active learning than on the studio

Many challenges occur in teachingcomputing and computer tools in first-year engineering education courses. Students’ preparationand prior experience vary significantly. Students demonstrate difficulty learning the concepts incomputing and applying those concepts to writing code in a specific language [2][3].
