Information technology (IT) forms a crucial foundation for designing, building and managing future sustainable cities. This paper proposes a model to innovate the engineering and computing curriculum to include sustainability and IT topics in order to develop the skills and competencies that future professionals will need to design, build and manage future cities. Rather than developing a new program, we propose a curriculum model - called SustainIT -adapted from the successful 2006 US NAE Gordon Prize engineering curriculum innovation, The Learning Factory - as a possible roadmap to reform and complement existing Bachelors of Science (BS) degrees in engineering. By providing a series of guided electives, any engineering program may offer engineering, and/or computer science students the opportunity to learn about and become specialized in IT for Sustainability. Multidisciplinary topics include traditional ecological engineering; life-cycle design; design and application of resource microgrids; pervasive sensing and data aggregation; knowledge discovery, data mining and visualization; and, policy based control and operation for resource provisioning.
信息技术(IT)是设计、建设和管理未来可持续城市的重要基础。本文提出了一种创新工程和计算机课程的模式,以包括可持续性和IT主题,以培养未来专业人员设计、建造和管理未来城市所需的技能和能力。我们不是开发一个新项目,而是提出了一种名为“可持续信息技术”的课程模式,它改编自2006年美国NAE戈登奖工程课程创新的成功案例“学习工厂”,作为改革和补充现有工程学士学位的可能路线图。通过提供一系列指导性选修课,任何工程项目都可以为工程和/或计算机科学专业的学生提供学习和专攻可持续发展信息技术的机会。多学科课题包括传统生态工程;生命周期设计;资源微电网的设计与应用普适传感和数据聚合;知识发现、数据挖掘和可视化;以及基于策略的资源配置控制和操作。

A proactive recommender system pushes recommendations to the user when the current situation seems appropriate, without explicit user request. This is suitable in e-Learning scenarios in which a great amount of learning objects are available but it is difficult to find them according to the user's needs. In this paper, we present a model for generating proactive context-aware recommendations in the Virtual Science Hub (ViSH), a educational platform related to the GLOBAL excursion European project. The model relies on domain-dependent context modeling in several categories to generate personalized recommendations to teachers and scientists that will produce the learning resources the students will consume. The recommendation process is divided into three phases. First, the generation of the social context information related to the users in the platform. Then, the current situation considering the social, location and user context is analyzed. Finally, the suitability of particular learning objects to be recommended is examined. Therefore, details about the recommendation model proposed and advantages related to applying the model in ViSH can be found in the paper, in addition to some conclusion remarks and outlook on future work.
主动推荐系统在当前情况似乎合适时向用户推送推荐,而不需要用户明确的请求。这适用于有大量可用的学习对象,但很难根据用户的需要找到它们的e-Learning场景。在本文中,我们提出了一个模型,用于在虚拟科学中心(ViSH)中生成主动上下文感知建议,ViSH是一个与全球游览欧洲项目相关的教育平台。该模型依赖于几个类别的领域相关上下文建模,为教师和科学家生成个性化的建议,这些建议将产生学生将使用的学习资源。推荐过程分为三个阶段。首先,生成平台中与用户相关的社会语境信息。然后,结合社交、地理位置和用户语境对现状进行了分析。最后,对推荐的特定学习对象的适用性进行了检查。因此,本文详细介绍了所提出的推荐模型以及在ViSH中应用该模型的优势,并给出了一些结论和对未来工作的展望。

This paper focuses on understanding and developing learning environments for computer science education. We present two models that we have successfully used in European and African contexts. The first model, Computer Science Learning Environments (CSLE), presents seven dimensions of computer science courses, which should be considered in learning environment design for computer science. The second model, Investigative Learning Environment (ILE), presents an action plan model, inspired by action research, for combining educational research and computer science teaching. In the empirical section we outline two case studies where these models were used to design and implement computer science learning environments in two different learning contexts. In the first case in University of Helsinki, Finland, we developed and studied a method of learning-by-inventing in a robotics programming course. That course was designed around problem discovery and inventing, and it employed LEGO® Mindstorms robots. In the second case in Tumaini University, Tanzania, we designed an environment for studying and improving introductory programming courses. Both models showed to be useful for designing, implementing, developing, and analyzing the courses in both learning contexts.
本文的重点是理解和开发计算机科学教育的学习环境。我们提出了在欧洲和非洲成功使用的两种模式。第一个模型,计算机科学学习环境(CSLE),提出了计算机科学课程的七个维度,这是计算机科学学习环境设计中应该考虑的。第二种模式是调查性学习环境(ILE),它提出了一种行动计划模式,受行动研究的启发,将教育研究与计算机科学教学相结合。在实证部分,我们概述了两个案例研究,其中这些模型被用于在两种不同的学习环境中设计和实现计算机科学学习环境。在芬兰赫尔辛基大学的第一个案例中,我们在机器人编程课程中开发并研究了一种通过发明来学习的方法。该课程是围绕问题发现和发明而设计的,它采用了LEGO®Mindstorms机器人。在坦桑尼亚图马尼大学的第二个案例中,我们设计了一个学习和改进编程入门课程的环境。这两种模型对于设计、实现、开发和分析两种学习环境下的课程都是有用的。

In the Northern Appalachian region around Pittsburgh, PA, many high schools do not have computer science courses, so students are not introduced to this critical subject that is needed for most technical career paths. Our unique strategy is to invite current high school science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) teachers, in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and Maryland, to participate in 3 summer workshops showing how to incorporate computing concepts into existing STEM courses. By working with teachers on how to assimilate programming and computational thinking into their classrooms we will effectively reach a large population of students in areas where computer science classes are not available. In this paper, we outline the current state of the project and some of the data we have collected. Future goals for this project include performing a rigorous evaluation of teacher impact and developing the workshop materials for wider dissemination.
在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡附近的阿巴拉契亚北部地区,许多高中没有计算机科学课程,所以学生们没有被介绍到这个大多数技术职业道路所需要的关键学科。我们独特的策略是邀请宾夕法尼亚州、西弗吉尼亚州、俄亥俄州和马里兰州的高中科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)教师参加3个夏季研讨会,展示如何将计算概念融入现有的STEM课程。通过与教师合作,研究如何将编程和计算思维融入他们的课堂,我们将有效地接触到那些没有计算机科学课程的地区的大量学生。在本文中,我们概述了项目的现状和我们收集的一些数据。该项目的未来目标包括对教师的影响进行严格评价,并编写讲习班材料以供更广泛传播。

We examine the impact of using lab exercises based on real-world topics in the CS1 course at the University of Texas - Pan American. In Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 we used drill style exercises. For Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 we created a new set of lab exercises that are based on real-world problems. In this paper we examine impact of the new lab exercises on the number of students who complete the exercises, on the students' grades on the exams, and on the final course grade. For the new lab exercises, the students are provided with an example program that contains extensive comments describing the skills targeted in that lab. Then they complete a similar program on their own. Whenever possible, we used games for the programs. When we could not devise a game exercise, we used problems that the students are likely to encounter in the real world. Sometimes we reused the same game/problem in multiple exercises. We found that many more students completed the lab exercises and the overall course performance improved when we used the new labs.
我们研究了在德克萨斯大学泛美大学CS1课程中使用基于现实世界主题的实验练习的影响。在2010年秋季和2011年春季,我们使用了演练式练习。在2011年秋季和2012年春季,我们创建了一套新的基于现实问题的实验练习。在本文中,我们考察了新的实验习题对完成习题的学生人数、学生的考试成绩和期末课程成绩的影响。对于新的实验练习,为学生提供了一个示例程序,其中包含大量描述该实验目标技能的注释。然后他们自己完成一个类似的项目。只要有可能,我们就会在节目中使用游戏。当我们无法设计游戏练习时,我们使用学生在现实世界中可能遇到的问题。有时我们会在多个练习中重复使用相同的游戏/问题。我们发现,当我们使用新的实验室时,更多的学生完成了实验练习,整个课程的表现也有所提高。

Work in progress: A developmental approach to better problem solving: A model for bridging the Alverno Gap 正在进行的工作:一种更好地解决问题的发展方法:一种弥合阿尔维诺鸿沟的模式

The department has adopted a holistic student-centered approach to support attributes of the Engineer of 2020. Among these include a culture that embraces intellectual diversity, better team skills, improved problem solving skills, and better complex thinking skills. Strategies incorporating classroom inversion, active learning, and team projects have demonstrated remarkable gains in retention, intellectual diversity, and general problem solving skills. While well above the national average, continued intellectual growth has stagnated over the past three years and remains below that desired both by industry and by the department. In an effort to improve complex thinking skills the department is adopting a developmental approach modeled by Alverno College which has demonstrated substantial growth in many of the attributes of the Engineer of 2020. As a first step towards reducing this "Alverno Gap", the department has adopted a developmental approach which is focused on improved problem solving skills within a team environment. In this paper, we describe the Alverno model, discuss an explicit developmental approach to team skills and processes, and provide some initial insight into using embedded assessment as an integral component of transformative curriculum.
该部门采用了以学生为中心的全面方法来支持2020年工程师的属性。其中包括一种包容智力多样性、更好的团队技能、更好的解决问题能力和更好的复杂思维能力的文化。结合课堂倒置、主动学习和团队项目的策略在记忆力、智力多样性和一般问题解决能力方面取得了显著的进步。虽然远高于全国平均水平,但在过去三年中,持续的智力增长停滞不前,仍然低于行业和部门所期望的水平。为了提高复杂的思维能力,该部门正在采用一种由阿尔弗诺学院(Alverno College)模仿的发展方法,该方法在2020年工程师的许多属性方面都有了实质性的增长。作为缩小这种“阿尔弗诺差距”的第一步,该部门采取了一种发展方法,重点是在团队环境中提高解决问题的能力。在本文中,我们描述了Alverno模型,讨论了团队技能和过程的明确发展方法,并提供了一些将嵌入式评估作为变革课程的组成部分的初步见解。

The study of students' preconceptions and how they affect their learning in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields is of nationally recognized importance. There are, however, various and contradictory theoretical approaches to conceptual change, and none of them have been rigorously applied in the context of engineering education. This paper is part of a larger study drawing on existing sets of data from a wide range of engineering content areas to develop a theoretical explanation of conceptual change in engineering education. In the work reported here we re-analyze students' understanding of concepts about axially loaded members (from mechanics of materials) and Boolean logic (from digital logic). Previously published analyses of these data argue that the context of a problem or question effects students' reasoning about that concept. These contexts can range from the presence or absence of figures or diagrams to the social contexts of the problem. We explored three potential theoretical explanations for the context-sensitivity of student reasoning: (1) a perceptual cues theory, (2) a domain specificity theory, and (3) a language-based theory. It is argued that these competing theoretical explanations do not contradict each other as much as they overlap, and potentially productive syntheses of the theories are proposed as directions for future work.
研究学生的先入之见及其如何影响他们在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域的学习,具有全国公认的重要性。然而,有各种各样的和相互矛盾的理论方法来解释概念的变化,没有一个被严格地应用于工程教育的背景下。本文是一项大型研究的一部分,该研究利用了来自广泛工程内容领域的现有数据集,以对工程教育中的概念变化进行理论解释。在这里报告的工作中,我们重新分析了学生对轴向载荷成员(来自材料力学)和布尔逻辑(来自数字逻辑)概念的理解。先前发表的对这些数据的分析认为,问题或问题的背景会影响学生对该概念的推理。这些背景可以从存在或不存在的数字或图表到问题的社会背景。我们探讨了学生推理情境敏感性的三种可能的理论解释:(1)感知线索理论,(2)领域特异性理论,(3)基于语言的理论。有人认为,这些相互竞争的理论解释并不像它们重叠那样相互矛盾,并且这些理论的潜在生产综合被提出作为未来工作的方向。

In the work reported here we re-analyze students' understanding of concepts about axially loaded members (from mechanics of materials) and Boolean logic (from digital logic). Previously published analyses of these data argue that the context of a problem or question effects students' reasoning about that concept. These contexts can range from the presence or absence of figures or diagrams to the social contexts of the problem. We explored three potential theoretical explanations for the context-sensitivity of student reasoning: (1) a perceptual cues theory, (2) a domain specificity theory, and (3) a language-based theory. It is argued that these competing theoretical explanations do not contradict each other as much as they overlap, and potentially productive syntheses of the theories are proposed as directions for future work.","PeriodicalId":120268,"journal":{"name":"2012 Frontiers in Education Conference Proceedings","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125671995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many engineering programs have a common first-year curriculum required for all students. The courses tend to be large in size requiring the use of Teaching Assistants (TAs) for implementation. The responsibilities of TAs vary including lecturer, lab instructor, and grader. Despite their significant presence and varied functions, little is known about the roles of TAs as a whole across institutions. This study fills a gap in the literature by describing the roles and responsibilities of TAs in multiple first-year engineering programs across the nation, providing a foundation for future work investigating TA experiences, motivation, and identity development.
许多工程专业对所有学生都有共同的第一年课程要求。这些课程往往规模很大,需要使用助教(助教)来实施。助教的职责各不相同,包括讲师、实验指导老师和评分员。尽管助教的存在意义重大,职能多样,但人们对整个院校助教的角色知之甚少。本研究通过描述全国多个一年级工程项目中助教的角色和职责,填补了文献中的空白,为未来研究助教的经历、动机和身份发展提供了基础。
