Since some of the students in the class were also involved instudent organization activities such as the student chapter of the Institute of Electrical andElectronics Engineers (IEEE), the class gave those students the tools needed to work onprototyping designs for group projects.The plans for modifications during future offerings of the course include the potentialincorporation of a second software tool such as EAGLE. Once the basic design principles arecovered, the plan is to have students design the same board using two different software: Onewith KiCAD and one with EAGLE (or another tool). This is

As aresult, students in the teachers’ classrooms learned how to engage in engineering practices,gradually developing knowledge of how to identify essential features of a design problem, gatherinformation that informs the problem, plan, construct, test, evaluate, and optimize a designsolution. In this manner, teachers and students, over time, became active, legitimate participantsof the community of practice, generating new knowledge of both science and engineering coreideas, crosscutting concepts, and related skills.Context of the StudyThe context of this study was a large, multi-year university school partnership that included theparticipation of over

In future, we plan to conduct systematic literaturereview on the effect of gamification beyond just CS/SE by expanding it to STEM baseddiscipline. Additionally, we plan to continually improve the design and usability of SEP-CyLEby using most influential game elements. While there are some studies underway, we plan toreport the results and conduct additional studies guided to builder a larger body of evidence onusefulness of gamification in CS/SE education.7.

They are planning to sell souvenirs to market the brandand cover the cost of celebrations. Your startup company is bidding for the supply contract.”Student groups were required to select materials and manufacturing process for those articles.

At a typical four-year university there is agreater level of academic freedom to innovate courses and bring in new material. This can leadto content drift.

experience of teaching it for the first time during the 2017-2018 academic year, and plans for the future.IntroductionIn 1997, ABET rolled out the Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC2000), which introduced for the firsttime an understanding of social context as a requirement for engineering education. This is anacknowledgement that engineering practice does not occur in a vacuum, but must be responsiveto the various economic, political, and cultural forces around it. In the years since EC2000,many engineering programs have struggled to meet this criteria in a meaningful way [1]. Thereasons are primarily two-fold. First, the addition of so-called “soft skills” into the curriculum inno way reduces the amount of technical content that is also necessary to

Assessments need to continually redefine desired outcomes and goals ofsuch programs.Another shortcoming was that the program gave students and faculty a stipend, but it did notprovide any research related expenses. This is potentially limiting for some projects if faculty donot plan for student researchers far enough in advance.Changes that will be made for the upcoming summer program will include faculty sessions toprovide structure and methods for appropriate mentoring.
