Only 27% of the students wished there were more courses offered oncomputer science and data analysis. This result suggests that students’ perceptions on their needto expand their knowledge on data science notably differ

Although weare implementing ROS communication through MATLAB’s ROS Toolbox, its use is concealed tothe students, they are only working with very basic and descriptively titled commands for controland sensor data acquisition. Based on our experience, this toolbox is of significant value becauseit allows students to directly or autonomously control the mobile robots through simple MATLABcommands and a more user friendly interface as compared to implementing Python, JavaScript, orthe MATLAB ROS toolbox directly with the Sphero Robots.2.2 Sphero RVRA

Future work will include developing more modules focusedon more advanced topics in Java and C++ taught later in the CS/CE curriculum. Beforedisseminating these modules for adoption in different institutes, we will evaluate their impact indelivering cybersecurity concepts for secure programming.

An argument could bemade that the repetition of the first sub-outcome would lead to better student results if projecttwo were used for assessment of that sub-outcome. However, this comes at a cost of additionalrecord keeping for adjunct faculty that are already busy with full-time engineering careers inaddition to teaching responsibilities.

As a result, academic institutions are challenged toadopt appropriate strategies to meet innovative educational demands from both students andindustry.1Many projects have traditionally been managed using a waterfall or predictive methodologywhereby a detailed plan is developed then executed to deliver project benefits. This works wellwhen requirements and scope are clearly defined for the project with all activities flowinglogically from the beginning of a project through the end. It is not uncommon for projectmanagers to be faced with poorly defined requirements and ambiguous scope and a customerlooking for the project manager to help them define what

Increased retention rates areconsidered a benefit to programs and students since higher retention rates suggest that studentsare making progress towards completing their degree.

At the start of the semester I wasn’t a big fan of writing. All throughout my high school career I always had to write argumentative essays and analysis essays. It was a very formulaic way of writing, and it omitted the part of writing I think makes writing so important: using writing as a form of expression. Being able to have complete creative control over a piece is what makes writing

construct is self-concept, one’s collection of beliefs about oneself [16]. Whereas both identity and self-conceptfocus on the perspective of oneself, self-concept primarily focuses on the cognitive aspect,whereas identity incorporates feelings and beliefs with the cognitive. Because self-concept isconcentrated on one’s skills, abilities, physical aspects, or behavior, it acts as a guide to identity[17]. As such, self-concept is particularly relevant to career choices [16], such as engineering. Inaddition, self-concept has been conceptualized as having different facets related to different areasof one’s life, such as academic self-concept, professional self-concept, social self-concept, etc.[16]. These facets can have more or less specificity and be

Class sizes andpedagogical choices such as project-based learning are frequently constrained by the number anddisciplinary background of available faculty instructors.Prior work by our group has presented a framework for balancing competing curricular andadministrative needs [1]. Over the past six years, through stakeholder feedback and formativeevaluation, we have developed and continually refined a large-enrollment (ca. 650 students) one-semester FYE course taught by one to two faculty members. This course features a mixture ofinteractive didactic content and two multi-week, open-ended design

This study provides a focus on the students’perceptions of their teamwork opportunities, their teammates’ engagement and their projectoutcomes, with respect to their team role and role execution. The goal is to determine how theiropportunities for assuming desired roles affect their attitudes towards collaboration, theirperception of team success, and their appreciation of the team experience.
