Moreover, itwas thought that having traditional, in-person sessions that required moderate engagementand were predictable in their flow at the start of the semester would allow the students andthe instructor to ‘settle in’, develop a sense of community, and understand the norms andexpectations of the course. In subsequent weeks, the less traditional pedagogical approachesdiscussed next were deployed.Flipped Teaching:It was inadvertently discovered during the first (online-only) iteration of the course

Neither were improvementactions shared, thus in this aspect, faculty efforts were autonomous and isolated.Beginning in 2011, we implemented curricular reform based on the CDIO Syllabus 2.0 [5] [6],which takes the evolution and consolidation of knowledge and skills along the curriculumbuilding blocks into account. At that point, we used the CDIO Syllabus 2.0 (linked to Standard3) as a resource for curriculum benchmarking. We did not use the complete CDIO framework,which includes twelve Standards focused on program improvement. As a result, the curricularcontent of the courses of a given block or area began to exhibit

The policy allows instructors to dropthose students who exceeds the absence or missed assignment limits for the class described andspecified in the course syllabus. The newly established “Instructor-initiated Drop policy” wasadopted and enforced in three different courses taught from fall 2018 through fall 2019 semesters.The policy improved class attendance, completion of homework assignments, and student passrates.

availability of the course instructor in helping the students withthe project is critical. The post-project test and informal interaction with the students at the endof the semester revealed that the project had played a vital role in integrating course concepts. Our overall conclusion is that with a carefully planned syllabus, course projects, and theavailability of student support resources, introducing reconfigurable computing to undergraduatecomputer engineering students can be a useful vehicle for teaching topics on parallel hardwareand parallel algorithms. We plan to make available online all the course materials developed forthe new course.Bibliography1. Douglass, S., “Introducing the Virtex-5 FPGA family”, Xcell Journal, pp. 8 -11

Obviously many of the training programs cover similar topics, such asknowing the students, lecture and presentation skills, preparing course materials, grading,academic integrity, active learning, and assessment. However understanding pedagogy andeducational theory are not as common among the topics. Many programs address the importantneed of what to teach, however they often lack teaching the pedagogy, theory and self-efficacy,that is to say the confidence in the capability to teach.

Different combinations ofonline and paper homework formats were used, and the problems assigned varied in volume,implementation, and complexity. In each section, different pedagogies were used, and the depthto which some topics were covered varied with the instructor. Because each section tookdifferent exams graded by different instructors, there was no uniform measure of students’preparedness levels for later engineering mechanics courses. This paper describes efforts toimprove consistency across sections by implementing a common course framework developedby the instructors teaching the different sections.
