, providing practice for the student, is essential for successful learning andretention of programming. Feedback time during these sessions becomes more limited as thenumber of students increases, hence supplemental instruction (SI) can be utilized to increasefeedback and student interactions. Here, we demonstrate how the implementation of SI, asdeveloped by UMKC, in combination with tablet based demonstrations and hand-written/program-specific examples are effectively used to improve student grades and courseevaluations. Weekly SI sessions were developed to reiterate key concepts from the lab for thatweek and also provided students with a peer-friendly environment where they could engage inquestions/discussion without the presence of the course

Theauthor had developed complete PowerPointTM based lectures, several animations, multimediacontent and several example problems around this approach targeted to engineers.Based on all the information that was given at the interview and from what had been gleanedfrom literature, the author decided to start his new job by utilizing the blackboard to teach in thetraditional method to address the falsely perceived lack of depth and rigor.

instruments have been developed to help classifypreferred learning styles, and among the most widely-used is the VARK test, which profileslearning preferences according to degree of utilization in four categories: Visual (V),Aural/Auditory (A), Read/Write (R), and Kinesthetic (K). In responding to a series of questionsabout situations where information is to be communicated, takers of the VARK test are classifiedaccording to how strongly they prefer to rely on each style when learning. Results vary from apreference on a single learning style (typically rare), to learners who utilize all four learningstyles with approximately equal preference (more common).The VARK test was administered to undergraduate engineering students in both the Middle Eastand

Cases illustrate examples of good and bad engi-neering. Since cases represent real engineering activity, the judgments and decisions re-quired of students can be critically compared by them and their peers with those made bythe professionals in the case. Students discover their decisions may be as good as thosemade by the principals in the case, and perhaps better. Even when answers differ, explor-ing the nature of the difference and the underlying reasons can be valuable.

This paper provides suggestions on how these challenges can beovercome and, in particular, how self-assessment rubrics can help eliminate much of thetraditional design course assessment workload for teachers. This paper provides suggestionsfor preparing incremental self-assessment rubrics for a capstone design course. While bothself- and peer-assessment can provide significant assessment time-saving for tutors, self-assessment also promotes student learning, according to recent education research.Appropriately designed rubrics can also provide students with guidance on levels ofattainment required for design tasks and students also learn to assess design

The cursory reference to teaching in our faculty advertisementswould seem to indicate that such ability is a hygiene factor—something given little value until itis obviously missing. Alternately, a faculty search committee may feel that their students arebright enough to require only the most rudimentary skill on the part of an instructor.If, on the other hand, outliers are selected for their grantsmanship rather than teaching, why don’twe just leave them all on soft money and let them write their own salaries?

A call forpapers was distributed which students responded to by submitting a short abstract. The abstractswere ‘accepted’ and the students then had to write a full technical paper. A double-blind peerreview was performed within the class to include critical analysis practice for students. Thecourse culminated in a ‘two-day’ conference, but to fit within a standard course schedule the twodays were not sequential nor were they full day lengths.
