The Science Perspective has helped in recruitment of students who otherwise might not have considered taking a computer science course. The assignments offered as part of the Science Perspective have been an integral part of our approach to teaching computer science in a way that is interesting and engaging to students by inviting them to explore scientific applications in computing. Our approach uses the Alice 3D animation-based programming environment followed by an event-based graphical Java programming approach. The interactive and visual nature of these approaches has increased student engagement, which has led to better retention in follow-up computer science courses. This approach could also be applicable in teaching computer science in secondary education.","PeriodicalId":162124,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121285284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scientific and technical reading and writing skills are not addressed elsewhere in the core curriculum. The assignments are meant to create a link between the writing classes and the upper major Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) classes. Students learn to read and summarize technical journal articles and to conduct a final project culminating in a paper and presentation.","PeriodicalId":162124,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"314 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115834037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result many undergraduate and graduate STEM institutions are unable to establish these important STEM programs in their curriculum. This paper introduces an alternative method of teaching important control system and robotics concepts using LEGO kits and ROBOTC software. Such a program has been successfully implemented in NYIT's school of electrical and computer engineering. In this paper, the design and optimal control of the LEGO Mindstorms NXT motor system is studied. The system for which we design this controller is pre-identified and control is implemented with a state feedback controller. The system's open and closed loop dynamics are computed and the responses are observed. We first check the observability and controllability criteria for the system. We then design an LQR based state feedback controller and using a Kalman filter observer. The controller is then implemented as an H2 (LQG) optimal controller. The performance of H2 controller is analyzed and simulated. The controllers are then implemented and validated on the prototype.","PeriodicalId":162124,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114410572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this particular example, a company working on a government-sponsored robotics project worked closely with a neighboring middle school to both accomplish project goals and promote STEM interest in students. The initial collaboration served as “an initiative that spurred initiatives”, and the resulting outcome provided benefits for both the school and the company alike. The school benefitted from exposing students to scientists and engineers working on real-world applications, and from receiving resources from the company to enhance their existing curriculum. The company benefitted from the rewarding work experience that the collaboration offered for its scientists and engineers, and, subsequently, organized a formal STEM committee to pursue similar collaborative opportunities more broadly.","PeriodicalId":162124,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125584550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, information security topics are challenging to teach in traditional computer laboratories mainly due to restrictive information technology policies. In recent decades, virtual computing has become a promising solution to address the challenges of providing students with hands-on learning experiences in information security. While the literature mainly focuses on technical aspects of virtual computer laboratories and provides ample examples about how they can be used in information security courses, there is a lack of pedagogical studies. We introduce a framework based on Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle to design activities for virtual computer laboratories. We provide empirical evidence that if virtual computer activities are designed and conducted according to this framework, student learning can be enhanced even further.","PeriodicalId":162124,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133114885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work present a survey made during the second semester of 2012 with in service teachers that have been working in Pequeños Científicos program. Results show that teachers recognize a positive impact of implementation of the project in the environment of the classroom. Aspects as collaborative work and role recognition inside the group were highlighted as important as well as respect for other ideas or opinions. Other situations as recognition of abuse or nonaggressive communication were not influenced by the program. Teachers also report that competences as learning from error improved significantly with Pequeños Científicos. This work suggests that STEM education can promote not only an improvement in scientific and technological competences but also peaceful environments in the school, and that the Pequeños Científicos program is an opportunity to transform students-teacher and students-students relationships in the classroom.","PeriodicalId":162124,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126687905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
