A project known as Lab-in-a-Box (LiaB) was developed in 2004 as one of the outcomes of a department-level reform within the Bradley Department of Electrical and computer Engineering (ECE) at Virginia Tech, addressing a need that was identified through student and employer surveys for concrete examples of fundamental concepts in electrical engineering. LiaB is a set of 'hands-on' exercises in which students design, build, and test at home various d.c. and a.c. circuits using an inexpensive electronics kit, digital multimeter, and a software oscilloscope and, thus, has not require significant resources to implement. The inclusion of LiaB in our ECE curriculum has received overwhelmingly positive comments from the students as well as from faculty members who have used the kits for projects in upper division courses that have been traditionally lecture-based with no lab component and has been adopted by three community colleges. The aim of the first set of experiments that are under development, funded by a grant from the National science Foundation, is to reinforce abstract concepts on first-order and second-order RLC circuits introduced in the companion circuits lecture course. The students construct circuits with physical components rather than symbolic parts in PSpice and determine the time-varying voltage drops and currents in the circuit by direct measurement rather than by plugging values into their calculators. Experiments enable students to explore how the component tolerances, the initial state of the capacitor and/or inductor, and the frequency response of the circuit affects the output signal. An approach to integrate evaluation and assessment is being undertaken, where methods to measure the educational outcomes are considered concurrently with the development of the learning materials. A description of our pedagogical approach to the development of these learning materials and the integration of evaluation and assessment metrics will be described. © Americ

In this global economy, the preparation of a globally competitive U.S. workforce with knowledge and understanding of critical computing concepts is essential. Our CPACE (Collaborative Process to Align Computing Education with Engineering Workforce Needs) vision is to revitalize undergraduate computing education within the engineering and technology fields. Our objective is to design and implement a process to engage stakeholders from multiple sectors and identify the computational tools and problem-solving skills and define how these skills-directly informed by industry needs-can be integrated across disciplinary curricula. By explicitly integrating computing concepts and disciplinary problem solving, engineering graduates will enter the workforce with improved and practice-ready computational thinking that will enhance their problemsolving and design skills. We present the analysis of the computational skills and the strategies that we are using to map the workforce problem-solving requirements onto the foundational computer science principles. We outline the framework that we are using to identify opportunities for curricular integration between computer science concepts and the disciplinary engineering curricula. By documenting, evaluating, and making the process explicit, this process can serve as a model for national efforts to strengthen undergraduate computing education in engineering. ©2009 IEEE.

We describe a synthesis course that provides a hands-on treatment of many hardware and software topics learned in computer science (CS) programs. Using a modular series of twelve projects, we walk the students through the gradual construction of a simple hardware platform and a modern software hierarchy, yielding a basic yet powerful computer system. In the process of building the computer, the students gain a first-hand understanding of how hardware and software systems are designed and how they work together, as one enterprise. The course web site contains all the materials necessary to run this course in open source, and students and instructors are welcome to use and extend them freely. The course projects are modular and self-contained, and any subset of them can be implemented in any order and in any programming language. Therefore, they comprise a flexible library of exercises that can be used in many applied CS courses. This paper gives a description of the approach and the course, juxtaposed against general educational principles underlying meaningful learning.

This paper proposes a hybrid multilogistic model, named MultiLogistic Regression using Initial and Radial Basis Function covariates (MLRIRBF). The process for obtaining the coefficients is carried out in several steps. First, an Evolutionary Programming (EP) algorithm is applied, aimed to produce a RBF Neural Network (RBFNN) with a reduced number of RBF transformations and the simplest structure possible. Then, the input space is transformed by adding the nonlinear transformations of the input variables given by the RBFs of the best individual in the last generation. Finally, a maximum likelihood optimization method determines the coefficients associated with a multilogistic regression model built on this transformed input space. In this final step, two different multilogistic regression algorithms are applied, one that considers all initial and RBF covariates (MLRIRBF) and another one that incrementally constructs the model and applies cross-validation, resulting in an automatic covariate selection (MLRIRBF*). The methodology proposed is tested using six benchmark classification problems from well-known machine learning problems. The results are compared with the corresponding multilogistic regression methodologies applied over the initial input space, to the RBFNNs obtained by the EP algorithm (RBFEP) and to other competitive machine learning techniques. The MLRIRBF* models are found to be better than the corresponding multilogistic regression methodologies and the RBFEP method for almost all datasets, and obtain the highest mean accuracy rank when compared to the rest of methods in all datasets. ©2009 IEEE.

This paper proposes a multi-classification pattern algorithm using multilayer perceptron neural network models which try to boost two conflicting main objectives of a classifier, a high correct classification rate and a high classification rate for each class. To solve this machine learning problem, we consider a memetic Pareto evolutionary approach based on the NSGA2 algorithm (MPENSGA2), where we defined two objectives for determining the goodness of a classifier: the cross-entropy error function and the variation coefficient of its sensitivities, because both measures are continuous functions, making the convergence more robust. Once the Pareto front is built, we use an automatic selection methodology of individuals: the best model in accuracy (upper extreme in the Pareto front). This methodology is applied to solve six benchmark classification problems, obtaining promising results and achieving a high classification rate in the generalization set with an acceptable level of accuracy for each class.

For decades, US universities and colleges have had policies pertaining to the conduct of their students at the institutional level. These policies are referred to as Academic Integrity Policies or Codes of Conduct. The Code of Ethics, instituted by Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) has been the standard for the computing sciences profession for over 15 years. However, the traditional institution-wide academic integrity policies have not adapted to the complexities that arose from rapid progress in information technology (IT) and thus either fail to address or are in conflict with the nature of problems in computer science education. In this paper, we propose a model for development and implementation of an academic ethics policy (ethics is a broader concept that includes integrity) that addresses the challenges imposed by information technology visávis the best modern teaching practices in computer sciences and engineering. Implementing policies that are more in line with the methods of industry and compatible with newer educational pedagogies should make the whole educational environment more engaging to students. © 2009 ACM.

Measurement and detection of redundancy in test suites attempt to achieve test minimization which in turn can help reduce test maintenance costs, and to also ensure the integrity of test cases. Test suite reduction based on coverage information has been discussed in many previous works. However, the applications of such techniques on real test suites and realistic measurements of redundancy have not yet been experimented thoroughly. To address such a need, we formulate in this paper two experimental metrics for coverage-based measurement of test redundancy in the context of JUnit test suites. We then evaluate the approach by measuring the redundancy of four real Java projects. The automated measures are compared with manual redundancy decisions (performed through an inspection by a tester). The results and lessons learned are interesting and somewhat surprising in that besides they show usefulness of coverage information, they present a set of shortcomings (in terms of precision) for the simplistic coverage-based redundancy measurement approach as discussed in the literature. The root-cause analysis of our observations identify several key lessons learned which should help the testing researchers and practitioners in devising better techniques for more precise measurement of test redundancy.

The iLOG Project (Intelligent Learning Object Guide) is designed to augment multimedia learning objects with information about (1) how a learning object has been used, (2) how it has impacted instruction and learning, and (3) how it should be used. The goal of the project is to generate metadata tags from data collected while students interact with learning objects;these metadata tags can then be used to help teachers identify learning objects that match the educational and experiential backgrounds of their students. The project involves the development of an agent-based intelligent system for tracking student interaction with learning objects, in tandem with an extensive learning research agenda. This paper provides an overview of this NSF-funded project, focusing on the instructional approach and research on varying levels of active learning and feedback. Using a randomized design and a hierarchical linear modeling framework, research showed that the active learning conditions resulted in significantly higher student learning. The elaborative feedback results approached (p = .056), but did not reach, the established significance criteria of alpha = .05. Both active learning conditions and one of the elaborative feedback conditions resulted in significantly higher content assessment scores compared to a control group. ©2009 IEEE.
