Traditional mathematical modeling and programming rely on the quality and accuracy of input data. If the data is incorrect or uncertain, it can have a significant impact on the results of the model. PSO (Particle Swar...

Primary school pupils of two different age groups were asked to draw pictures of people programmingcomputers and then asked questions to reveal their understanding of computer programming. As was expected neither group showed great understanding of how computer programs are produced. programming was seen as the productions of visual and audio effects. The older children recognised that programming was something to do with controlling the computer. These understandings are used to produce a list of four recommendations for the design of programming environments for children.
The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between prior gaming experience and consciousness of computer programming or social views on information. To evaluate this relationship, a questionnaire surv...

Engineering Technology students whether freshmen or otherwise tend to find their first sequence of computer programming courses quite a challenge. To increase the success rate for these students, the author started a learning center for computer programming called the programming Learning Center (PLC). The PLC started its operation in the fall of 2001. The center had a major impact on students taking their first programming sequence. Freshmen students as well as students from other classes have participated in the PLC activities. The PLC proved to be successful for both day and evening students. The center offered walk-in hours for students as well as seminars during the lunch hour on various topics. This paper discusses the impact of the center on students' learning and success in their first computer programming sequence. The center can be duplicated to serve students in other disciplines.

This paper presents the pros and cons of the programming requirement for all first-year engineering students, based upon the results of a survey of the engineering faculty at the University of Pittsburgh. The results show that the computing skills required of most frequently required of. engineering students, in decreasing order, are: 1 Basic computer skills 2 Word processing 3 Spreadsheets 4 Equation solvers and programming languages A rational alternative is suggested, in which all students would be taught basic computing skills, technical uses of spreadsheets, and equation solvers during their first year. Some students would then receive instruction in a programming language at a later time, based upon need or interest.
One way to broaden participation in computer science is to use a different approach to teach its foundational concepts, which can attract those not already interested in this field. This research aims to design and im...
