of Pattis’ approach atStanford prompted the committee to recommend adoption of Karel by ENCMP 100.Bergin et al.’s implementation2 of Karel, called Karel++, was adapted by the senior FSO for usein ENCMP 100. Because the course focused on procedural C++ (C programming with C++input/output streams), the object-oriented nature of Karel++ was hidden via preprocessor macros.Students were provided a Visual C++ starter project, which included a precompiled Karel++ Page 23.624.3library, and a C++ stub file for task programming. The project was configured to load Karel’sworld from a text file. Students were also provided a Windows application with

an input to the table, such as temperature, the properties are less certain than the 5or 6 digits. When a modest uncertainty of 0.2% for temperature is assumed, the properties arecertain to at most 3 to 4 digits, but not more. The same can be shown for steam.Uncertainty of Steam PropertiesIn the superheated steam tables, property data (v, u, h and s) is often given in pressure “blocks.”Students find the correct pressure block, then the line for the appropriate temperature to look upthe other properties. Although two other intensive properties can be used to fix the state, the Page 23.746.8most common are pressure and temperature; hence

Toaccommodate a variable message length, for some course offerings the header has included amessage-length field and for other offerings an end-of-message control character has been usedwithin the message/payload segment.

undergraduates “tend to overrate theirabilities a great deal when it comes to finding information on the Internet”[5]. According toBuschman and Warner, undergraduates generally consider themselves to be competent and effective Page 23.478.3researchers, though assessments of their information literacy skills show that they are not nearly ascapable as they believe themselves to be [6]. More often than not, “[s]tudents do not understand theresearch process as well as they know electronic tools”[7].Furthermore, undergraduates overestimate the effectiveness of their information searches. A search isgenerally deemed successful if it yields numerous
(in the end of the1st semester) and a final project report (in the end of the 2nd semester). Although students in eachdepartment were mostly responsible for the subsystems falling in their discipline areas, thesedeliverables were deemed reasonable indicators of effectiveness in student learning.On the liberal arts-related and communication-skills related outcomes, assessments were conductedbased on student team’s participation in various oral presentations within their department.
