The Effectiveness of Using Robots in a Computer Science Orientation Class

Creator:: Alghamdi, Asma A.
Abstract:: One goal of using robots in introductory computer science (CS) courses is to improve motivation among learners. In this study, we investigate the effectiveness of using the Cozmo and Lego Mindstorm robots to improve students’ motivation in a CS orientation course, and we describe our experience using these robots in...

Engineering Student Perspectives of a New Required Programming Course

Creator:: Garcia Ramirez, Jessica
Abstract:: We present student perceptions of a new first-year engineering programming class that was designed by informed research practices. While the College of Engineering at Oregon State University saw a lot of major switching in the first year, there were not many students switching into computer science (CS). This could have...

The Effectiveness of Using Robotics for Career Technology Education in a Middle School STE(A)M Course

Creator:: Bodle, Ernie
Abstract:: Using robotics in education allows students to become familiar with multiple topics in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). With the use of robotic educational tools in the 8th – 12th grade classrooms, such as Sphero, Anki Cozmo, and Lego Mindstorms, few devices allow students to build the robots’ electrical...

A Framework for Evaluating the Comprehensiveness of Continuous Improvement in Academic Computing Programs. A 360-Degree View of the Continuous Improvement Efforts in a Large School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Creator:: Azzouni, Abdullah
Abstract:: Continuous Improvement (CI) of academic computing programs is a main requirement of accreditation. Academic computing programs must have a well-documented CI plan in order to be granted accreditation. Based on the existing literature, we developed a comprehensive CI (or 360-CI) model consisting of 8 components: course, curriculum, administration, faculty, research,...

A Study on the Effect of Non-Traditional Demographic Populations in an Undergraduate Computer Science Course

Creator:: Kawell, Christopher L.
Abstract:: There is a significant amount of research analyzing the effect of race, gender, and other common demographical data on student interest and performance in computer science. However, there is relatively little research concerning less common demographic populations, such as introverts, artistic students, and visual learners. This study investigates if these...

Applying the Technology Acceptance Model to Understand the Intention to Use a CS-based Curriculum

Creator:: Gupta, Ayushi
Abstract:: In the ever-evolving field of computer science (CS) education, the significance of teachers and their backgrounds have often been overshadowed by the predominant focus on students. Teachers in the K-12 often lack the necessary expertise and have limited support provided by existing CS-based curricula. While research on CS education effectiveness...

Analysis of bio-based composites for image segmentation with the aid of games

Creator:: Inouye, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: A fundamental problem in computer vision is to partition an image into meaningful segments. While image segmentation is required by many applications, the thesis focuses on segmentation of computed tomography (CT) images for analysis and quality control of composite materials. The key research contribution of this thesis is a novel...

The ChildsPlay Approach: Evaluating an Experimental Approach for Teaching Introductory CS at University

Creator:: Nelson, Aiden J.
Abstract:: University students first learning about computer science (CS) can be intimidated and frustrated by programming. In addition, the general-purpose programming languages chosen for introducing students to programming contain several features that have the potential to overwhelm and distract them from focused curriculum topics, which can lead to reduced retention of...

An Analysis of Students’ Self-efficacy and the Effectiveness of Peer Review in First-year CS Courses

Creator:: Jen, Funfay
Abstract:: Students’ success is one of the foremost objectives in higher education, and their self-efficacy plays a prominent role in students’ achieving their full potentials. It is especially important in STEM fields, which often suffer from higher attrition rates. Therefore, it is important to understand students’ self-efficacy levels at an early...

Exploratory Study to Uncover Student Mental Models of Singly Linked Lists in the C Programming Language

Creator:: Almadhoun, Eman
Abstract:: In computer science, learning abstract fundamental programming concepts requiring students to understand memory management can be very difficult and lead to misunderstandings that carry on into advanced topics. This is especially true in data structures with abstract data types. Understanding how novice students think and reason about data structures is...
