One such approach has been implemented at Auburn University, and the students have been tracked longitudinally to study the impact of this innovative instruction wherein theory and practice were brought together. Multimedia case studies were developed and used as a primary instructional mode in experimental classes over a 2-year period. Students in the experimental classes were matched with a comparison group randomly selected from the engineering student population but stratified by high school grades, ACT/SAT, and engineering major. The longitudinal evaluation revealed significant differences in college grade point averages among the groups with the experimental mechanical engineering majors tending to have the best grades. Even more supportive of the experimental program was that a significantly greater proportion of the participants were admitted to study in a professional engineering program from pre-engineering than was found with the comparison participants. These results suggest that the experimental instructional approach employed for the engineering students in this study is indeed an innovation that leads to improved student learning and advancement in engineering.","PeriodicalId":339926,"journal":{"name":"34th Annual Frontiers in Education, 2004.

Currently, there are over 6,000 heterogeneous components available in our systems, with more than 1,000 dedicated to the teaching of ECE 2025, an introductory course in Signal Processing. These components consist of captured lectures, support material, multimedia examples, worked problems and others. The CNT (concept navigation tool) connects concept map nodes to course content based on keywords embedded in the concept nodes. CNT goes beyond just integrating search techniques with a map-authoring tool. The concept maps constructed by students become the navigation tool that allows them to explore the relevant content and improve or expand their concept maps as their understanding grows. This environment was designed to increase the depth of a student's conceptual understanding of course material. The paper includes details about the design and implementation of the CNT system and the supporting data systems.","PeriodicalId":339926,"journal":{"name":"34th Annual Frontiers in Education, 2004.

In this paper we describe how our implementation matched our design, and evaluate the success of this undertaking from student and faculty perspectives. We also examine this program: it successes, the challenges faced, and the student and faculty experience and feedback.

The weeklong workshop goal has been to introduce the difference between traditional, or sequential, programming styles for mobile robots. The topics of what, how, why, and when appropriate situations to implement either control paradigm is covered through hands-on activities. To create reactive agents, students use Brainstem microcontrollers, C language, various sensors, and LEGO materials. Instructional activities lead the students to develop robots that avoid objects, seek a particular goal, and to wander autonomously while allowing particular behaviors to subsume and delegate appropriate robot reactions. Each student's progress is measured through individual journals, qualitative (short answer questions) and quantitative (multiple choice questions) assessments, and oral presentations to parents. Assessment evaluation for this workshop has demonstrated that if presented properly, more advanced concepts in mobile robotics can be learned by students in this age group. A pretest and posttest on fundamental concepts showed significant increase in knowledge of behavioral robotics. In addition, evaluation of answers to essay questions demonstrated a stronger depth of understanding of these topics. It has also been observed that the success of this camp could in part be a result of the high level of motivation and enthusiasm of the students. Future camps will attempt to verify and support the pedagogical developments with a fresh group of students, which are new to the advanced robocamps program.","PeriodicalId":339926,"journal":{"name":"34th Annual Frontiers in Education, 2004.

(ABET) changed the way computer science (and engineering) programs are accredited from a 'checklist' approach to an 'outcomes-based' approach. While this approach gives more freedom to the program to establish its own set of objectives, it has also created considerable anxiety among people who are responsible for preparing their programs for accreditation. The self-study report which plays an important role in the ABET accreditation process, describes how the computer science program satisfies the statement of intent and standards of the accreditation criteria. However, preparation of the report has become more difficult with the change to an outcomes-based approach. We have developed model of an ideal program based on CAC guidelines and standards and a tool that assesses the thoroughness and completeness of the report compared to the model. Programs seeking accreditation can use the tool to get information on any deficiencies prior to submitting the report to the evaluation team.","PeriodicalId":339926,"journal":{"name":"34th Annual Frontiers in Education, 2004.

In support of a more constructivist mode of instruction, we have implemented advanced indexing and search features in MANIC that makes use of ranking and relevance, and a query expansion technique to generate queries and conduct search over the World Wide Web (WWW) using Google/spl trade/.

Providing effective education to this population of working professionals is of increasing importance. This paper is an initial investigation of effective education techniques that may be employed when teaching working professionals. The paper will attempt to answer two main questions: 1) What techniques does prior research indicate might be effective in teaching working professionals? 2) How might these techniques be employed in software engineering courses for working professionals? Survey-based feedback from prior software courses taught to working professionals will be used to provide baseline insight into techniques in current courses and to suggest directions for future efforts. This feedback is taken from multiple courses taught to adult working professional students spanning several semesters and two U.S. institutions.","PeriodicalId":339926,"journal":{"name":"34th Annual Frontiers in Education, 2004.

We are engaged in an NSF supported project to develop such measures for design skill. This paper describes our exploration of the use of student-generated concept maps to assess students' understanding of how various aspects of the design process go together. Students in three senior-level engineering courses constructed concept maps of the design process. The resulting maps could be reliably sorted into patterns that presumably represent distinctly different ways of understanding the process. In addition, subpatterns of the concept maps were used to assess specific units of knowledge (e.g., the relation between feasibility, on the one hand, and requirements and preliminary design, on the other). These two components comprise an easily created report that provides detailed and useful pointers toward course and curricular improvement.","PeriodicalId":339926,"journal":{"name":"34th Annual Frontiers in Education, 2004.
