Out of the Mouths of Users : Examining User-Developer Feedback Loops Facilitated by App Stores

Creator:: Bailey, Kendall
Abstract:: Application Stores, such as the iTunes App Store, give developers access to their users’ complaints and requests in the form of application reviews. However, little is known about how developers are responding to application reviews. Without such knowledge developers, users, Application Stores, and researchers could make incorrect assumptions. To address...

Staying Consistent: Discipline-Specific Language Used in Introductory CS Curricula

Creator:: Weber, Jason
Abstract:: The understanding of Discipline-Specific Language is an important competency for students of any field to begin mastering early in their studies, since it serves as a prerequisite for both the analysis of expert text and precise communication. Therefore, an introductory curriculum should pay careful attention to how it incorporates, defines,...

Dual Purpose Utilization of Titanium Alloy Bars for Impressed Current Cathodic Protection and Near Surface Mounted Retrofit in Reinforced Concrete Beams

Creator:: Slawinski, Amanda K.
Abstract:: Many older reinforced concrete bridges and buildings in the United States are considered deficient due to past design codes that are not conservative, increased loading, and deterioration of structural components. Deterioration is most commonly caused by corrosion, which reduces the steel cross sectional area and damages the concrete cross section....

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...

Structuring Teachable Knowledge through Program-Concept Classifications

Creator:: Wilson, Benjamin F.
Abstract:: Teaching CS is a challenging task, especially for those without prior programming experience. Even for veteran educators, having to learn CS concepts while also trying to teach those same concepts is difficult; as is the case for many K-12 CS instructors. Unfortunately, there is often no formalized order with CS...

Seismic Performance of Square Reinforced Concrete Columns Retrofitted with Titanium Alloy Bars

Creator:: Lostra, Mackenzie M. W.
Abstract:: Large numbers of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges were built in the past that are now considered seismically deficient. The structural members most likely to be considered deficient are the supporting columns. Typical deficient columns contain inadequate transverse reinforcement and poorly detailed lap splice lengths above the foundation. Insufficient lap splice...

Development of a heat transfer coefficient for a single mist nozzle impinging on a heated thin sheet of Alloy 304 Stainless Steel using infrared thermography

Creator:: Cadell, Seth R.
Abstract:: A purpose built facility was designed, built and operated at the Advanced Thermal Hydraulic Research Laboratory, which is located at Oregon State University. This facility was used to heat a plate of Alloy 304 Stainless Steel to 800 °C and then cool the plate using a fine mist of water...

Enhancing Instructors’ Teaching Experience through Virtualization

Creator:: Patil, Ajinkya
Abstract:: In the current education environment, many instructors make use of some type of software, such as Visual Studio or a software library like OpenGL, in the classroom. Incorrect setup and configuration on an individual’s own system is a common problem when using these software tools. This thesis explores the difficulty...

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 Influence of Management Actions on Project Success Concerning Cost, Time, and Quality

Creator:: Alabdumunem, Mohammed K.
Abstract:: In the construction industry, people seek to deliver a successful project. The major success performance measurements in the construction industry are cost, time, and quality. Several researchers have determined critical success factors for construction projects, and one of these critical success factors was management actions. Furthermore, there is an inadequacy...
