classes.Learning a programming language is similar to learning a new spoken language, so studentsshould have interest learning it, and be motivated to practice. High school Career andTechnology education (CTE) and computer science classes should have extra hands on activitiesto gather more student attention. The best way to learn programming basics is to practice.In high school setting, most school curriculum has enough coding implementation . However,students may have some difficulty to understand the practices if they have lack of algorithmicand procedural understanding of computer science. I decided to add an extra hands on learningtool to my CS courses to show students to strength and power of computer science.MotivationComputer science has become a

It is important that the feedbackprovided to students be focused on improving performance, be understandable, and be clearlylinked to the desired learning outcomes [6, 8]. It is also important that assessment strategies are“cost-effective” for instructors in terms of the time and expertise required for implementation [8,19]. Rubrics have been identified as effective means to help

We are continuing this work with the development of a new,comprehensive academic and career advising program in our College and incorporation ofdiversity and inclusion themes in our work. We continue to work to identify the most impactfulfaculty development activities and develop a plan to institutionalize these beyond the support ofthis grant. Above all, we have made great strides towards developing a culture that supportsinnovative teaching, student-active pedagogies, and support of

To compare the effect of AFL, the traditional teaching was applied in thefirst half semester and pre- and post-tests were used to evaluate their learning performance. Inthe conventional classroom format, all of the class time was spent lecturing to students withno active learning activities. After the mid-term exams, five

To accomplish this, we will continue to track a single cohort ofstudents from material balances through the remainder of their career in the chemicalengineering program. We will keep track of student retention, subsequent courses and respectiveinstructors, as well as performance, attitudes, and external experiences such as research orinternships. We also are in the planning stages of a more homogeneous course model for materialbalances. The revised course model will focus on exposing students to problems that engage thefull spectrum of learning styles. As learning styles describe the cognitive processes involved ininformation gathering and problem solving, we believe it is important to teach

No common curriculum across various universities dictates how such intendedoutcome would be delivered. Years ago, Mechanical Engineering Department at NJIT hadchosen to use 3Dimensional modeling using Creo Parametric 4.0 [1] solid modelling software,aka Pro/Engineer [1], Wildfire [1] in FED-101. Solid modelling is used as a design tool inmechanical product design. However, product design is not the only career path in MechanicalEngineering. From ideation to product realization, product design has many steps. Apart fromcompetency in product design, time management skills, hands on ability, intellectual-property-exploration skills
ExperiencePurposeThe national effort to remain a leader in scientific exploration and technological developmenthas redoubled educational efforts to not only introduce students to the field of engineering atyounger and younger grade levels, but also to place more effort on retaining the students whoultimately choose engineering as a career path. As a result, more institutions are placing a highervalue on first-year engineering introductory courses, a key component of retention at theundergraduate level [1].However, with engineering being an incredibly broad field, there is relatively little agreementfrom institution to institution, and often from department to department within the same college,on the content and skills to address in a first-year course [2, 3

In these cases, the experiential learning would be in the areas of computersignal processing and data visualization with direct semantic processing improvement, whichwould be an important factor in career choices such as machine learning using Bayesian-likedecisions.The translation to high school projects would retain the cognitive academic aspect. For examplethe synchrotron project could be translated to a public health issue in terms of arsenic elementalconcentration with some basic academic knowledge on the interacting electrons.
