Call, Tristan; Fox, Erik; Sprint, Gina – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2021
Contribution: Research has shown that computer science (CS) students who start programming assignments (PAs) early generally receive higher grades. This article presents and evaluates a gamification approach that utilizes software engineering tools to motivate CS students to start and finish PAs earlier. Background: CS can be difficult to learn…

Jansson, P. M.; Ramachandran, R. P.; Schmalzel, J. L.; Mandayam, S. A. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2010
To keep up with rapidly advancing technology, numerous innovations to the electrical and computer engineering (ECE) curriculum, learning methods and pedagogy have been envisioned, tested, and implemented. It is safe to say that no single approach will work for all of the diverse ECE technologies and every type of learner. However, a few key…
