The students in the course werefrom many different majors (for example: Criminal Justice, Architecture, Biology, although noEngineering majors were enrolled), and ranged from freshman to seniors.

The rise of technology in modern engineering demands a shift in the wayundergraduates are prepared for the modern workplace. Engineering problems should focus onthe development of analytical models that describe a system. These models, once made, can beused to

LogicIntroductionFirst-time coders must not only overcome the difficulties in learning a programming language’ssyntax, but they must also develop the crucial sense of logic required to solve problems via code.Instructors provide the foundation during lectures on conditional statements, loops, andfunctions, each of which is required in most elementary programming courses. Beyond examsand homework, projects are frequently assigned to reinforce these logical ideas. Commonprojects focus on user inputs and decision-making; for example, creating an interactive game ofblackjack where the player interacts via text with the software (e.g., “would you like to hit orstand?”). It may be difficult for students to visualize what is happening with their codes ortroubleshoot

They are confident that they can achieve bothpopularity and rapport with students, and excellence in teaching, advising, and otherstudent relations. However, unless already well seasoned as graduate assistants in dealingwith students, they are usually disillusioned as realities of undergraduate education sink in,for example, (1) some students don’t care about learning, (2) some students can be lessthan honest if expedient, and (3) many students play the system for maximum results
