Donoghue, Thomas; Voytek, Bradley; Ellis, Shannon E. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
Nolan and Temple Lang's "Computing in the Statistics Curricula" (2010) advocated for a shift in statistical education to broadly include computing. In the time since, individuals with training in both computing and statistics have become increasingly employable in the burgeoning data science field. In response, universities have…

Kurzweil, Martin – Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 2018
Postsecondary training--and a credential recognizing it--have become all but essential in the twenty-first-century economy. The reasons for this are complex, but rapid innovation in services and products--including the increasing integration of technology--and the resulting evolving nature of work are surely factors.

Enikov, E. T.; Campa, G. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
This paper presents a low-cost hands-on experiment for a classical undergraduate controls course for non-electrical engineering majors. The setup consists of a small dc electrical motor attached to one of the ends of a light rod. The motor drives a 2-in propeller and allows the rod to swing. Angular position is measured by a potentiometer attached…

Wessa, Patrick – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2009
This paper discusses the implementation of a new e-learning environment that supports non-rote learning of exploratory and inductive statistics within the pedagogical paradigm of social constructivism. The e-learning system is based on a new computational framework that allows us to create an electronic research environment where students are…
