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...

The Impacts of a New Programming Course in a First-Year Engineering Experience

Creator:: Garcia Ramirez, Jessica
Abstract:: This research paper describes the impacts of a new programming class on first-year, non-CS engineering students. In the spring of 2021, the College of Engineering at Oregon State University piloted a new programming course that will be required of all engineering majors in the following academic years. We used the...

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...

Impacts of Environmentally Responsible Engineering (ERE) Concepts in a New First Year Engineering Program

Creator:: Smith, Madelyn
Abstract:: This full research paper explores two factors of increasing importance for first-year university engineering curricula: sustainability and diversity. Over the past fifteen years, many universities in the United States have adjusted their engineering programs in response to these two values expressed by industry, professional organizations, and the Accreditation Board for...

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...

Teaching fundamental computer science concepts utilizing manipulatives

Creator:: Berliner, Garrett
Abstract:: This thesis presents innovative pedagogical approaches to teach fundamental Computer Science (CS) concepts, such as abstraction, representation, algorithms, and computation utilizing manipulatives, which are physical objects that students interact with to teach or reinforce a concept. Teaching and learning with manipulatives has a long history in science and mathematics education,...

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...
