To assess student performance, NCBL uses theresults of standardized assessments in traditional disciplines.Since engineering and technology education is not one of the traditional disciplines, only 12 states haveengineering and technology education

writing flexible programs (or “functions” or“scripts”). Many seem much more comfortable using software to solve what they tend to viewas separate, standalone problems. When they move from one problem to the next, many seem toview it as a time to start over from scratch. Of course, the students in the course are mechanicaland civil engineers, and not students who are preparing for a computer programming career.However, it seems for them to be efficient in their careers, they need to consider methods forautomating tasks when appropriate. It is hoped that the experience with this project will benefitsome students by prompting them to think about how to automate repetitive tasks

To truly internalize ownership, studentsmust grasp specific learning objectives and possess clear, well-defined targets, acting as guidingposts delineating

My reflection also touches on how I’venoticed that the virtual notebook affords unique, individual contributions while also creating acollaborative product. Some additional themes in my reflection are about the class pace, the needto connect theory to practice, and the utility of this activity for my academic career.***This week I made the title of my reflection "Design IRL" because although I continue to learnabout how important being a peer reviewer is, what it takes to get a publication, and aiming forrejections to get published more, this week felt more grounded about how I can

One of the two curricula is EiE, and is thefocus of the present study; the present study does not include data from the other curriculum. TheE4 Project is currently in its second of two data collection years, with data pertinent to thepresent study collected during and after the completion of the first year (2013 - 2014). E4 Project recruitment began by disseminating project flyers through state, district, andschool level channels within the Massachusetts, Maryland and North Carolina regions.
