Luedtke, Allison Oldham – Journal of Economic Education, 2023
The author describes an assignment in an undergraduate game theory course in which students work together in class to develop a computer algorithm to identify Nash equilibria. This assignment builds basic computer science skills while applying game theory knowledge to real-world situations. Students work as a team to delineate the steps and write…

Bettin, Briana; Jarvie-Eggart, Michelle; Steelman, Kelly S.; Wallace, Charles – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
In the wake of the so-called fourth industrial revolution, computer programming has become a foundational competency across engineering disciplines. Yet engineering students often resist the notion that computer programming is a skill relevant to their future profession. Here are presented two activities aimed at supporting the early development…

Justin Gambrell; Eric Brewe – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Computational thinking in physics has many different forms, definitions, and implementations depending on the level of physics or the institution it is presented in. To better integrate computational thinking in introductory physics, we need to understand what physicists find important about computational thinking in introductory physics. We…

Carlos Sandoval-Medina; Carlos Argelio Arévalo-Mercado; Estela Lizbeth Muñoz-Andrade; Jaime Muñoz-Arteaga – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2024
Learning basic programming concepts in computer science-related fields poses a challenge for students, to the extent that it becomes an academic-social problem, resulting in high failure and dropout rates. Proposed solutions to the problem can be found in the literature, such as the development of new programming languages and environments, the…
