As such, this paperproposes a cooperative learning model which endeavors to help students utilize their timeoptimally in a first year programming course in MATLAB. Included in this model is a structuredassessment framework, as well as teamwork training to facilitate effective teamwork strategy.This model also places emphasis on strong alignment of curriculum objectives to progressiveassessment tasks.To deploy this framework, a MATLAB programming project is designed to be just large enoughfor a group of 3

The weight is restricted to a 9 inch by 12inch hopper to create a more or less concentrated load. The students must carefully plan the useof their limited material just as any ship builder does, and they must also apply their knowledgeof ship hydrostatics and stability. The barges are tested in a tank of water and the studentsreceive credit for the amount of weight they are able to carry without structural failure, sinking,or capsizing.
