Abstract

As skills are abilities acquired over time with practice, it follows that if students are to learn computing skills and competencies they should be given suitable support and opportunity. We present a new integrated approach to teaching computing to non-CS majors – specifically engineers – and a research study that has been designed to evaluate its effect on the learning and behaviour of these students. By embedding computing in the assessment of modules across the curriculum, this research also aims to demonstrate how this approach may support learning across multiple disciplines.
