employed at the end of an assignment,reflection questions encourage students to recognize what they learned, identify errors, andconsider different choices they might make in the future. Throughout an entire course, students’writings become an artifact of the changes and growth that accompany learning and provideinstructors with a rare insight into students’ learning processes.Our team is currently investigating how intermingled writing and coding can improve theprocess of learning to program. We have incorporated WTL strategies into introductorycomputer programming laboratory assignments and are comparing student work from thoselaboratories with student work from traditional laboratories. In order to minimize additionalwork for the WTL students

to ensure that all students have a common knowledgebase in engineering, plant sciences, and data sciences, no matter their background. The goal is toget all students communicating in the same language. The course “Fundamentals of PredictivePlant Phenomics” was developed to meet this challenge. The course planning took nearly oneyear and incorporated input from faculty with various disciplinary backgrounds. The actualcourse is coordinated by an engineering faculty member and taught through a series of guestlecturers covering various plant science, data science, and engineering topics over a 15-weekperiod. In addition to the three 50-minute lectures per week, a 3-hour laboratory each weekprovides an experiential learning opportunity where

However, the combination of a statewide reduction in credit hours and thedifficulty in students determining the application of various mathematic and engineeringprocesses resulted in a new combined focus for this course. Because of need to develop a perspective of understand of statistics, multipleexposures to the topics is useful. In recent interviews with seniors, they have agreed thatthey have taken a good course in statistics, but it was difficult to relate to “realapplications”.

The objective of this paper is to describe a multi-course sequence which employs DSP atmany levels of the undergraduate curriculum for the purpose of enabling students to visualize,test, and implement concepts introduced in the classroom.
