An understanding of FPGA design tools and techniques is crucial for prospective careers in these domains. These skills are typically not taught in undergraduate engineering studies in India. In 2020, we attempted to teach the basics of FPGA design skills to undergraduate engineering students across India. This was done in project-based learning provided through three tasks in an online learning module. The initiative witnessed 872 students participating as a team of four. This experience report presents the methods adopted to teach FPGA design skills at such a scale. The report also presents and discusses participant experience gathered via feedback through semi-structured interviews. Six categories of issues were identified. Based on participant feedback, the learning module was improved and offered as 2nd edition to a similar cohort of 249 teams with 961 participants in 2021. These modifications resulted in an approximately 8% increase in the overall completion rate from 29.03% to 37.13%. The paper presents the process and experience of redesigning the learning module and contributes to the literature of issues identified and methods adapted in an attempt to teach complex engineering tools to undergraduate students which can benefit other academics aiming to teach similar essential skills.","PeriodicalId":508655,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 16th Annual ACM India Compute Conference","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139184717","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}

There has been prior work that assesses the impact of using a native/regional language as a medium of instruction for a Computer Science (CS) class. However, since classroom instruction involves a lot of non-verbal communication as well, the methodology of those studies is difficult to replicate and hence the results are difficult to generalize. In this paper, we focus on a smaller but potentially more replicable aspect. In particular, we are interested in assessing the impact of bilingual problem specifications on student comprehension in Introductory Programming. Problem comprehension is identified as one of the bottlenecks in the process of solving programming problems by novice programmers. Problems posed in English can be even tougher for its non-native speakers to comprehend. A feature of a typical multilingual classroom in India is that, in addition to having different native languages, the students can also have different levels of proficiency in English. Translating the problem to a language in which the students are more comfortable with, and in a way that reflects their use of the language, may result in better comprehension. In this paper, first, we present a framework for translation of a problem from English to a combination of English and a regional language. The framework allows some customization of the translation to suit an instructor’s specific teaching-learning context. We conduct a user study with 25 instructors that gives evidence on the efficacy of the framework. Then we apply it to translate an English variation of the well-studied Rainfall problem [14] to Hinglish (Hindi-English) and pose the two versions to two groups of randomly selected students (who are comfortable with Hindi) respectively. The result of this preliminary user study shows that there is no significant difference in the problem comprehension of students in the two groups.","PeriodicalId":508655,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 16th Annual ACM India Compute Conference","volume":"15 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139184944","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}
