Rocio Ramos-Rodriguez; Maria Calle; Garis Coronell; John E. Candelo Becerra – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Contribution: Team-based learning (TBL) with a transdisciplinary (TD) approach is applied in one introductory programming course with different cohorts. The approach reduces the failure rate in the course. In addition, the approach helped students understand the application of programming to different engineering professional areas. Background:…

Zahra Atiq; Rakhi Batra – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2024
Emotions are a complex multi-faceted phenomenon. To assess the complexity of emotions from different facets, multi-modal approaches are necessary. However, multi-modal approaches are rarely used for assessing emotions, especially in the context of computer programming. This study adopts a multi-modal approach to understand the changes in students'…

Rafael Mellado; Claudio Cubillos – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Effective learning in computer programming courses has been a constant challenge for university teachers and has become a relevant competence for current professionals. The literature on gamification in learning presents mixed results, mainly due to problems in instructional design and inconsistency in gamification. Studies with…

Erik Hombre Cuevas; Daniel Zaldivar; Marco Perez – International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Education, 2025
The integration of various programming languages into the undergraduate engineering curriculum often occurs without adequate evaluation of their effectiveness within specific disciplines. Recently, Python and MATLAB have garnered significant attention as preferred languages for teaching subjects such as image processing and computer vision.…

Hui Zhang; Haihan Zhang; Qian Zhang – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2024
Computer programming and municipal engineering (ME) students' specialised knowledge are still poorly integrated, leading to limited improvement of students' programming abilities. This paper describes an effective attempt in ME at Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology (XAUAT). Students were divided into several teams and required to…

Hedia Mhiri Sellami – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
This study describes an experiment in which engineering students create serious games (SG) that tackle problems relevant to their jobs. This experiment was conducted as part of the "Business Games" module we taught students enrolled in the Master's program "Innovation Management" at the National School of Engineers of Tunis. By…

Allison Godwin; Heather Perkins; Linda DeAngelo; Eric McChesney; Kevin Kaufman-Ortiz; Gerard Dorve-Lewis; Beverly Conrique – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Contribution: This study demonstrates the efficacy of an ecological belonging intervention in a first-year engineering programming course to increase belonging for Black, Latinx, and Indigenous (BLI) students and close academic equity gaps. Background: Introductory programming courses are often challenging for students and can shape belonging in…

Gabriella Coloyan Fleming; Michelle Klopfer; Andrew Katz; David Knight – Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Background: Engineering curricula are built around faculty and accreditors' perceptions of what knowledge, skills, and abilities graduates will need in engineering careers. However, the people making these decisions may not be fully aware of what industry employers require for engineering graduates. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study is…

David Roldan-Alvarez; Francisco J. Mesa – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Artificial intelligence (AI) in programming teaching is something that still has to be explored, since in this area assessment tools that allow grading the students work are the most common ones, but there are not many tools aimed toward providing feedback to the students in the process of creating their program. In this work a small sized…

Chih-Chang Yu; Leon Yufeng Wu – Educational Technology & Society, 2024
This study presents a new blended learning model that combines a computer-assisted learning system called Cognitive Apprenticeship Programming Learning System (CAPLS) with instructor co-teaching in an introductory programming course. CAPLS, as its unique aspect, functions as a master in cognitive apprenticeship, guiding learners throughout their…

Yang, Fan; Akanbi, Temitope; Chong, Oscar Wong; Zhang, Jiansong; Debs, Luciana; Chen, Yunfeng; Hubbard, Bryan J. – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2024
Computing technology is reshaping the way in which professionals in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries conduct their business. The execution of construction tasks is changing from traditional 2D to 3D building information modeling (BIM)-based concepts. The use of BIM is expanded and enriched by the introduction of advanced…
