Therefore, it became necessary to organize the educational research in identifyingcore concepts and then to finding means of gauging students understanding of those concepts.With this goal in mind, several authors outlined in the reference section published theirfindings in many conferences.

The first course isstrictly individual effort, the second course combines group and individual work, and the sequenceculminates with an exam-less, group project course. Students benefit from opportunities to learn how tosucceed in a group setting over time, while we increasingly adjust the allocation of evaluation points fromindividual to group effort. In our final course, we employ cooperative learning using vertical slicingwhere students select a component of the system whose development they are responsible for throughouteach phase of the engineered solution. This vertical slicing allows us to develop homework

Instead, it is the result of observations that themselves tend to createcategories.With these successes and ideas for future improvement in mind, however, it should be noted thatthe context out of which software design emerges differs in significant ways from that ofarchitectural engineering.

For one, the software draws “real time” figures, wherethe instructor is limited to “snapshots.” The program continuously gives a visual display of eachprocess selected. Students can view this display repeatedly until they are comfortable with thepicture that develops in their mind. Secondly, while students may not feel confident aboutworking with phase diagrams, using the computer as a tool gives them the opportunity to workwith something they are familiar with (the computer) to help understand something they are notfamiliar with.MultimediaThe newest tool has been provided via the internet.4 As reported in ASEE’s Prism, ProfessorJohn Russ established a Web site entitled

Our first years as faculty members are often spent learning aboutone-on-one student advising through trial and error - accepting the responsibility to advise anentire student group can be overwhelming. Enthusiastic new educators can easily fall into thetrap of over-advising, or micromanaging, a student group. Conversely, well-meaning and laid-back advisors can adopt a “hands
