Data Science Competence Framework (CF-DS) Generations of teachers have built their classes around the course syllabus, a semester-long contract that spells out what each class meeting will focus on (readings, problem sets, case studies, experiments), and what the student has to turn in by a given date.

So he dropped some pieces of paper from his hand as the blast wave passed him, and used this to estimate that the blast was equivalent to 10 kilotons of TNT. His guess was remarkably accurate for having so little data: the true answer turned out to be 20 kilotons of TNT. Fermi had a knack for making roughly-accurate estimates with very little data, and therefore such an estimate is known today as a Fermi estimate.
Why bother with Fermi estimates, if your estimates are likely to be off by a factor of 2 or even 10? Often, getting an estimate within a factor of 10 or 20 is enough to make a decision.

New 'Vertically Integrated Projects' program gives students experiential learning opportunity at NYU. A group of undergraduate engineering students at New York University is working with industry mentors, faculty members and each other to design a high-speed pod that could contribute to the future of travel.
Some of their peers are designing a standalone system that will be able to turn used plastic bottles into 3D printing material. Others are exploring the potential for emerging technologies and their interactions with humans to contribute to innovative health care. These projects are among the first to be tackled by participants in NYU’s Vertically Integrated Projects program. The VIP Consortium includes two dozen universities in the U.S. and abroad, all bringing students, faculty members and industry professionals together to solve problems and, ultimately, have a societal impact. Bloom's Taxonomy Blooms Digitally. From Educators' eZine Introduction and Background:
What skills does a digital CIO need? Academically Adrift's authors on faculty project to define learning outcomes in six fields. Faculty members tend to be skeptical about attempts to go beyond grading with standardized definitions and measures of what students should learn -- the so-called student learning outcomes accreditors require colleges to collect.
The wariness of professors is often well founded, the authors of the influential book Academically Adrift argue in a new book, because faculty members often haven’t been at the table when these measures and related assessments are being developed. “There’s good reason for a lot of the skepticism and discontent,” said Richard Arum, a professor of sociology and education at New York University and director of the Social Science Research Council’s Education Research Program. To train future ed-tech leaders, higher ed needs new discipline, some say. Does higher education need a brand-new discipline to train its next generation of ed-tech leaders, or should the work take place across disciplines in a reworked teaching and learning center?
Those were some of the questions broached during a conference last Friday at Georgetown University to discuss how developments in the fields of ed tech, instructional design, learning analytics and higher education leadership are changing colleges -- and what colleges should do in response. One idea, which would touch on all of those topics, is a new kind of teaching and learning center. Academia do Minho Online – Aprender para ser competitivo, inovador e empreendedor. Georgia Tech plans next steps for online master's degree in computer science. Georgia Institute of Technology is working on expansion plans for its affordable online master’s degree program in computer science, even though the program isn’t growing at the rate it first anticipated.
“We will start another program,” Georgia Tech President G. P. Peterson said during a recent interview with Inside Higher Ed. Book argues faculty members should actively resist 'culture of speed' in modern academe. In 2013, the jobs website CareerCast named university professor the No. 1 least stressful job, unleashing a torrent of criticism that only grew after Forbes picked up the ranking.
Professors -- those with tenure and without -- said the study ignored the changing dynamics of the university, namely the increasingly administrative nature of academic work, the emerging student-as-customer model, unrealistic research expectations and 24-7 contact with colleagues and students via email. Non-tenure-track professors also pointed out that they in many cases lack all job security. CareerCast evidently learned something from the controversy -- its 2016 least stressful jobs list specifies tenured professor, at No. 3 -- but old notions about what it is to be a professor die hard.

O avô dos computadores como os conhecemos hoje foi apresentado ao mundo a 14 de Fevereiro de 1946 e foi concebido inicialmente para a área de balística do exército norte-americano. Em comparação com os computadores actuais, o ENIAC teria um poder de processamento menor do que o de uma calculadora de bolso. Em 1942, o físico John Mauchly propôs a execução de uma máquina de calcular totalmente electrónica e o projecto foi financiado pelo exército dos Estados Unidos da América, que o manteve em segredo na Universidade da Pensilvânia com o nome de código "Project PX".
