This paper describes the assessments in a third-year undergraduate Game Programming elective course. Three summative assessments are conducted throughout the semester: an Individual Game Project, a Team Game Project, and a Personal Portfolio. Throughout ...

Background and Context. Spatial skills have been shown to correlate with success in introductory computing courses. Fortunately, spatial skills can be trained to improve outcomes for all students, both in terms of greater spatial skills but also in terms ...

Objectives: Faculty new to teaching operating systems or those looking to refresh their course need to understand the state of the art in operating system education. Toward this goal, we conducted a survey of operating system instructors to understand how ...

Computing Ethics (CE) courses are an increasingly important component of the undergraduate computing curriculum because of the outsized influence of computing on society. CE encompasses topics from multiple disciplines including the humanities; however, ...

In this paper, we investigate the effect of participating as a near-peer mentor for computing activities in undergraduate courses across disciplines. Many studies on near-peer mentorship have demonstrated academic and professional growth--as well as an ...

The Data Mine at Purdue University is a pioneering experiential learning community for undergraduate and graduate students of any background to learn data science. The first data‐intensive experience embedded in a large learning community, The ...

The Data Mine, a data science for all program, is comprised of its Seminar course, the Corporate Partners program, the Academic Research opportunities, the Indiana Data Mine, the National Data Mine Network, and the DEAF PODS program. image image

Computing education (CE), the scientific foundation of the teaching and learning of subject matter specific to computing, has matured into a field with its own research journals and conferences as well as graduate programmes. Yet, and unlike other mature ...

Chemical Engineering Unit Operation Laboratory focuses on the application of mathematics, science and engineering fundamentals through laboratorial activities. This course is a core course in chemical engineering department and has been offered at ...

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused both significant disruption and catalysed extensive experimentation in how education has been and may be delivered worldwide. The discipline of computing has been part of this experimentation, and significant innovations ...

This working group concerns the adoption of computing education (CE) in undergraduate computer science (CS) programmes. Such adoption requires both arguments sufficient to persuade our departmental colleagues and our education committees, and also ...

Computer architecture is primarily studied through simulation. Most existing simulators are either comprehensive research tools, or ones targeting a single area within computer architecture. CADSS is an open source computer architecture simulator that ...

Cloud Computing skills have been increasing in demand. Many software engineers are learning these skills and taking cloud certification examinations to be job competitive. Preparing undergraduates to be cloud-certified remains challenging as cloud ...

There is a growing movement in undergraduate computer science (CS) programs to embed ethics across CS classes rather than relying solely on standalone ethics courses. One strategy is creating assignments that encourage students to reflect on ethical ...

This experience report details pilot deployments of the Platform for Ethics and Responsible Computing Education (PEaRCE) in undergraduate computer science (CS) courses. PEaRCE is an online learning environment designed to immerse undergraduate CS ...

This paper presents an observation protocol to explore group processing in cooperative learning. Use of structured roles can help facilitate cooperative learning, decrease attrition and failure rates, and improve student performance. Our observation ...

Previous research has shown that even though many students are aware of overarching problems with concurrency, they are less successful in addressing any issues they have found. This implies that the students have not yet developed a mental model that ...

This study aims to analyze the comparison of the academic result of the EA447 Managerial Accounting course using offline and online learning at the Management and Accounting undergraduate study program during 10 semesters of the 2016-2020 academic years ...

Teaching Assistants (TAs) at universities are often an integral part of a department, heavily influencing the department culture. Our experience at James Madison University indicates the help provided by TAs on both course content and as a support ...

There is increasing agreement that teaching students ethics in computer science (CS) is important, but there is little agreement about how to teach ethics, when to teach ethics, or even what ethics curricula should include. CS programs are experimenting ...

Increasing attention to the role of ethical consideration in computing has led to calls for greater integration of this critical topic into technical classes rather than siloed in standalone computing ethics classes. The motivation for such integration ...
