  • Generalizing the Idea Garden : Principles and Contexts

    Creator:
    Jernigan, William
    Abstract:
    In previous work, the Idea Garden was created to help those relatively new to programming overcome their barriers in CoScripter. The goal of this thesis was to generalize the Idea Garden's success to other users and environments. We present a set of principles on how to help EUPs like this...

  • 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...

  • Studies to inform a visual language for authoring interactive exercise prescriptions

    Creator:
    Dodge, Jonathan E.
    Abstract:
    Communicating dynamic motion content, such as exercise, with a static medium, such as paper, is difficult. The technology exists for presenting 3D animated exercise content to patients; however, the tools for allowing exercise domain experts to effectively author the content do not exist. We conducted two formative studies with exercise...

  • Extending the TekBots [superscript TM] Platform for Learning [superscript TM] to upper division ECE courses

    Creator:
    Smit, Adriaan
    Abstract:
    In April of 1997 it was pointed out at an NSF Engineering Education Innovators conference that “… education appears to ignore the need for connections and for integration – which should be at the core of an engineering education.” In order to solve this problem a group named ‘TekBotsTM’ was...

  • A practical implementation of self-efficacy theory to improve the engineering curriculum

    Creator:
    Plisch, Marjorie
    Abstract:
    What are the most effective ways to improve the engineering curriculum? Improvements should result in increased student retention, undergraduates who are more industry-ready and graduates who are better prepared to be leaders. Current research suggests that the best predictor of persistence is a person’s self-efficacy. The focus of this thesis...

    Abstract:
    Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) is the primary organization responsible for monitoring, evaluating and certifying the quality of engineering, engineering technology, computing and applied sciences education in the United States. In 2000, ABET changed the way computer science (and engineering) programs are accredited from a ‘checklist’ approach...
