Student-Designed Service-Learning Projects in an Undergraduate Neurobiology Course.
One of the challenges in teaching a service-learning course is obtaining student buy-in from all students in the course. To circumvent this problem, I have let students in my undergraduate Neurobiology course design their own service-learning projects at the beginning of the semester. Although this can be chaotic because it requires last-minute planning, I have made it successful through facili...
متن کاملImplementing large projects in software engineering courses
In software engineering education, large projects are widely recognized as a useful way of exposing students to the real-world difficulties of team software development. But large projects are difficult to put into practice. First, educators rarely have additional time to manage software projects. Second, classrooms have inherent limitations that threaten the realism of large projects. Third, q...
متن کاملFailproof Team Projects in Software Engineering Courses
The computer science department of the University of Pittsburgh offers two undergraduate and two graduate courses in software engineering in which we emphasize the importance of general engineering principles for software development. For the last ten years the undergraduate courses have been based on team projects. This structure has advantages: students see immediately the relevance of what t...
متن کاملNondestructive Evaluation Courses for Undergraduate Engineering and Engineering Technology Students
Two nondestructive evaluation (NDE) laboratory-based courses were developed for Engineering and Engineering Technology (ET) students of Drexel University. The ultrasound NDE laboratory allows for participation in laboratory activities in two modes: the traditional face-to-face classroom mode for students on Drexel’s campus, and a real-time, Internet-based mode for those at remote locations. Dur...
متن کاملService Learning in Neuroscience Courses
Incorporating service learning (SL) components can be a very powerful way to engage students, add relevance, and develop community-building skills. SL experiences can play important roles in neuroscience classes, although the roles can be different depending on the needs of the classes. In this paper, we will present two models of incorporating service learning into neuroscience courses. The fi...
