Allen, Oliver; Downs, Xavier; Varoy, Elliot; Luxton-Reilly, Andrew; Giacaman, Nasser – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2022
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is not only an integral part of computing degrees but also a requirement in non-computing majors such as engineering. Understanding OOP concepts can be difficult for novice programmers, and often leads to the development of misconceptions. This is exacerbated when the discipline requires students to learn a…

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…

Reinhart, Alex; Genovese, Christopher R. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
Traditionally, statistical computing courses have taught the syntax of a particular programming language or specific statistical computation methods. Since Nolan and Temple Lang's seminal paper, we have seen a greater emphasis on data wrangling, reproducible research, and visualization. This shift better prepares students for careers working with…

Shmallo, Ronit Shmallo; Shrot, Tammar – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2020
A class diagram is one of the most important diagrams of Unified Modeling Language (UML) and can be used for modeling the static structure of a software system. Learning from errors is a teaching approach based on the assumption that errors can promote learning. We applied a constructive approach of using errors in designing a UML class diagram in…

Quadir, Benazir; Mostafa, Kazi; Yang, Jie Chi; Shen, Juming; Akter, Rokaya – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
This study used the ARCS approach to investigate the effects of university students' motivation, including attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction, to use the Programming Teaching Assistant (PTA) on their Programming Problem-Solving Skills (PPSS). Previous studies have shown that PTA features enhance learners' programming performance,…

Grajdura, Sarah; Niemeier, Deb – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2023
Addressing societal issues in civil and environmental engineering increasingly requires skills in data science and programming. To date, there is not much known about the extent students are learning these skills in current civil and environmental engineering curricula. We conducted a survey of accredited civil and environmental engineering…
