Verrett, Jonathan; Boukouvala, Fani; Dowling, Alexander; Ulissi, Zachary; Zavala, Victor – Chemical Engineering Education, 2020
Computational notebooks are an increasingly common tool used to support student learning in a variety of contexts where computer programming can be applied. These notebooks provide an easily distributable method of displaying text and images, as well as sections of computer code that can be manipulated and run in real-time. This format allows…

Colin M. Gray; Paul Parsons; Austin L. Toombs; Nancy Rasche; Mihaela Vorvoreanu – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2020
In this design case, we describe a multi-year process during which a team of faculty designed a four-year undergraduate major in user experience (UX) design at a large research-intensive institution. We document the program- and course-level design experiences of five faculty members. This multi-year process has culminated in a dual-strand,…

Swanson, Dewey; Gusev, Dmitri A. – Association Supporting Computer Users in Education, 2017
The Purdue Polytechnic Institute was created two years ago from the former College of Technology. This was more than a name change; it represented a transformation which will have an impact not only the curriculum, but on learning, and teaching methods. Students need technical skills but they must also be able to collaborate, be problem solvers,…

Gusev, Dmitri A.; Swanson, Dewey A. – Association Supporting Computer Users in Education, 2017
Facing the need to introduce new approaches to teaching the art of programming to undergraduate Computer and Information Technology (CIT) students as part of the transition of the former Purdue College of Technology to the novel concept and status of Purdue Polytechnic, we came up with the idea of offering a pilot 300-level course entitled…

Broad, Steven; McGee, Meredith – Association Supporting Computer Users in Education, 2014
While many technical disciplines have reached or are moving toward gender parity in the number of bachelors degrees in those fields, the percentage of women graduating in computer science remains stubbornly low. Many recent efforts to address this situation have focused on retention of undergraduate majors or graduate students, recruiting…
