Course learning outcomes includedtopics in design and intellectual property, among a range of other foundational areas.Coursework included a major team-based, design-and-build project. This project had a slightlycompetitive aspect in that bonus points were awarded to the team that built the best project.Three years ago, one of the authors conceived and implemented a “class patent” system wherebyteams could write and submit an application to patent a project idea. By patenting an idea, a teamcould hope to gain competitive advantage in achieving the best project. As a pedagogical study, we sought to determine the effects of the class patent system

Experiencegained from disseminating the case studies through the earlier NSF CCLI grants, as well asreports from others, shows that there are many significant challenges in introducing multimediacase studies into engineering classrooms. Some of the challenges are: changes in the role of theinstructor, apprehension about using innovative materials, difficulties in evaluating and testingstudents, and training students to engage in effective team work. The goals of this project werederived in order to address these challenges.

In practice, software sustainability issues arise due to main factors: firstly, the time-to-market pressure during software development projects on which sustainability is anafterthought, and secondly, the software engineers’ lack of education and skills for applyingsustainability-improvement techniques [12].Three main approaches for classifying software sustainability works are as follows [5]: (i)considering sustainability as a part of software quality [13], (ii) using quality attributes

The first survey was administered tostudents who participated in the course, while the second was given to the general computingpopulation within SPSU. The goal of the survey is to help educators make informed coursedecisions using the data collected.IntroductionAs a new technology emerges, students are naturally curious about how it works and how itmight be applied across a variety of contexts. Frequently, however, there are significant costsassociated with working
