The use of only concept inventories to provide proof of student learning is an incomplete assessment as important engineering knowledge consists of both conceptual knowledge and skill intertwined. A multi-step Delphi process involving a group of engineering educators was used to reach consensus on the important skills of statics. These skills are currently grouped into 10 categories. The Delphi rankings included both the average importance of the skill as judged by the Delphi participants and their judgment of the average proportion of their students whom can perform the skill. Skill-based questions are being developed to probe these areas","PeriodicalId":281157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Frontiers in Education 35th Annual Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127471533","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}

Initially, the intention was to adapt the MANIC courseware system to support cooperative learning for geographically dispersed groups of faculty, students and staff that must become \"fluent\" in each other's discipline. As the project developed, multimedia content modules were created to archive a number of center activities and to serve as outreach materials. A combination of MANIC and off-the-shelf software tools were used to develop comprehensive content delivery media that facilitated all aspects the center's mission. Data were collected and analyzed on production costs, usage and other factors. This collaborative effort demonstrates that flexible educational courseware production methods can be adapted to provide broader content distribution that is low-cost and highly flexible and that addresses the multicultural, multidisciplinary, multiconstituency challenges faced by the center","PeriodicalId":281157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Frontiers in Education 35th Annual Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127563734","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 the context of our course, programming skills are important to help students develop engineering \"habits of mind\" such as how to break a large complex problem into manageable parts, how to isolate effects, test, and debug problems. The paper presents the rationale for refining the instruction, the method for collecting data on the impact of the changes, and results from our data collection. Results indicate that the new instructional format is effective in helping novice students understand Matlab to solve engineering analysis problems. Furthermore, student feedback indicates that the instructional setting modeled the central features of a constructivist learning environment","PeriodicalId":281157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Frontiers in Education 35th Annual Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133905980","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}

While this approach has advantages, disadvantages can be severe - including limited flexibility in delivery of material, which hinders instructors' spontaneous adaptation to students. This paper describes Classroom Presenter, a Tablet PC-based presentation system that (1) allows instructors to regain flexibility in presentation using Tablet PC-supported digital inking in an application specifically designed for lecturing use, (2) supports role-specific views and interaction mechanisms in class, and (3) introduces novel affordances including the use of wireless technology and student devices to support active learning in the classroom. As of spring 2005, Classroom Presenter has been used in over 200 courses at more than 13 institutions.

These efforts and their results have been supported by the National Science Foundation, assessed by numerous instruments, and have been disseminated in papers, workshops, and conference sessions. Specific topics of this dissemination have included the integration of lecture and laboratory experiences, the use of motivational strategies and affective objectives, student achievement and retention, the early use of professional practices in the curriculum, the development of student affect during the introductory course, the enhancement of laboratory experiences, the application of various learning theories in the classroom, and curriculum design. In contrast to these prior works which each focused on just a few specific issues, the purpose of this paper is to holistically discuss the set of effective strategies used in our introductory programming course and show how these diverse efforts can be melded together and jointly enhance and enliven the course. This set of strategies includes the integration of cognitive and affective course objectives; the use of concept maps and other visual instructional techniques and tools; the use of motivational strategies such as classroom discussion and student self-reflection; the integration of conceptual development and hands-on exercises in the classroom; the designing of course progress to match the students' zone of proximal development; the designing of course delivery methodologies to match the diversity of students' interests and learning styles; the inclusion of diverse strategies to integrate the \"real world\" into every component of the course; the strategic use of student surveys; and the integration of professional practices and student commitments to quality.

Based on the advanced challenges they provide, we have selected security games offered by Next Generation Security. Our research is based on network security principles, a core module in MSc Network Security at Anglia Polytechnic University. We compare two cohorts; both were given lectures and laboratory sessions. Only for the second group laboratory sessions were conducted by means of security games. We consider the game usage and views expressed by lecturers and students, to assess whether this method can be usefully incorporated in teaching specific sections of information security. Online and offline course feedback and interviews are used to assess the student experience. Quantitative and qualitative data gathered from this empirical study is analysed to derive conclusions. Advantages, discontents and educational concerns of this method are discussed.

How will the students measure or assess the effectiveness of these behaviors? In order to answer the aforementioned questions, a focus group of OLS seniors was created and allowed to compile their own list of behaviors deemed necessary to measure teamwork dynamics.

Prior research shows that standardized measures such as aptitude (e.g. SAT scores), prior academic performance, effort and motivation explain a significant portion of the variation in class performance. When universities in the United States determine which students to admit, typical criteria include SAT, ACT or other achievement scores and high school GPA. At the University of Technology, Jamaica in the School of Computing & Information Technology, the main admission criteria are appropriate score in an aptitude test and passes in at least five Caribbean Examination Council subjects including Mathematics and English. This study examines the relationship between students' demographic attributes, qualification on entry, aptitude test scores, performance in first year courses and their overall performance in the program. The study has implications for the School's admission policy.
