Salehi, Ozlem; Seskir, Zeki; Tepe, Ilknur – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Contribution: In this study, an alternative educational approach for introducing quantum computing to a wider audience is highlighted. The proposed methodology considers quantum computing as a generalized probability theory rather than a field emanating from physics and utilizes quantum programming as an educational tool to reinforce the learning…

Alma Pisabarro-Marron; Carlos Vivaracho-Pascual; Esperanza Manso-Martinez; Silvia Arias-Herguedas – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Contribution: A successful activity based on the scavenger hunt (SH) game is presented here. Although "serious game" in education now seems synonymous with videogame, the effectiveness of hands-on traditional games to increase student performance that, besides, they also like is defended and proved. The proposal is not focused, as is…

Contribution: A roadmap is provided for building a quantum engineering education program to satisfy U.S. national and international workforce needs. Background: The rapidly growing quantum information science and engineering (QISE) industry will require both quantum-aware and quantum-proficient engineers at the bachelor's level. Research Question:…

Potvin, Geoff; McGough, Catherine; Benson, Lisa; Boone, Hank J.; Doyle, Jacqueline; Godwin, Allison; Kirn, Adam; Ma, Beverly; Rohde, Jacqueline; Ross, Monique; Verdin, Dina – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
Contribution: The current study finds that female-identified students report stronger associations between "helping others" and interest in bioengineering/biomedical engineering than non-females, while they report less interest in electrical and computer engineering overall, with similar associations to factors such as…

Brady, Corey; Orton, Kai; Weintrop, David; Anton, Gabriella; Rodriguez, Sebastian; Wilensky, Uri – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2017
Computer science (CS) is becoming an increasingly diverse domain. This paper reports on an initiative designed to introduce underrepresented populations to computing using an eclectic, multifaceted approach. As part of a yearlong computing course, students engage in Maker activities, participatory simulations, and computing projects that…

Byrne, Jake Rowan; O'Sullivan, Katriona; Sullivan, Kevin – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2017
This paper explores the use of a constructivist 21st-century learning model to implement a week-long workshop, delivered as a "hackathon," to encourage preuniversity teenagers to pursue careers in STEM, with a particular emphasis on computer science. For Irish preuniversity students, their experience of computing can vary from word…

Chen, Chung-Yang; Hong, Ya-Chun; Chen, Pei-Chi – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2014
Software development relies heavily on teamwork; determining how to streamline this collaborative development is an essential training subject in computer and software engineering education. A team process known as the meetings-flow (MF) approach has recently been introduced in software capstone projects in engineering programs at various…

De Cristoforis, P.; Pedre, S.; Nitsche, M.; Fischer, T.; Pessacg, F.; Di Pietro, C. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2013
Educational robotics proposes the use of robots as a teaching resource that enables inexperienced students to approach topics in fields unrelated to robotics. In recent years, these activities have grown substantially in elementary and secondary school classrooms and also in outreach experiences to interest students in science, technology,…
