Abstract
ABSTRACTRussian higher education institutions' tradition of teaching large-enrolled classes is impairing student striving for individual prominence, one-upmanship, and hopes for originality. Intending to converting these drawbacks into benefits, a Project-Centred Education Model (PCEM) has been introduced to deliver Computational Mathematics and Information Science courses. The model combines a Frontal Competitive Approach and a Project-Driven Learning (PDL) framework. The PDL framework has been developed by stating and solving three design problems: (i) enhance the diversity of project assignments on specific computation methods algorithmic approaches, (ii) balance similarity and dissimilarity of the project assignments, and (iii) develop a software assessment tool suitable for evaluating the technological maturity of students' project deliverables and thus reducing instructor's workload and possible overlook. The positive experience accumulated over 15 years shows that implementing the PCEM keeps students motivated to strive for success in rising to higher levels of their computational and software engineering skills.Abbreviations: AMIS; Applied Mathematics and Information Science; ANOVA; Analysisof Variations; ASMAT; Academic Software Maturity Assessment Tool; ASP; Academic Software Product; CDIO; Conceive – Design – Implement – Operate; CEM; Conventional Education Model; CLA; Computational Linear Algebra; CMIS; Computational Mathematics and Information Science; CMM; Capability Maturity Model; FC; Flipped Courses; FCA; Frontal Competitive Approach; HCM; Halstead Complexity Metric; HEI; Higher Education Institution; HISM; Halstead Index of Software Maturity; IC; Inverted Classrooms; PBL; Problem-Based Learning; LP; Linear Programming; PCEM; Project-Centred Education Model; PDL; Project-DrivenLearning; PjBL; Project-Based Learning; PSP; Professional Software Product; RFC; Robust Filtering Computations; SCoLa-for-AMISS; Scientific Computing Laboratory for AMIS Study; STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering; and Mathematics
