AB  - Based upon information received from the industry, one can define the knowledge and skills that are required for an engineer aiming to work in the IT industry. In this paper the authors present a possible method by which the learning process can be made more efficient. The authors highlight some advantages of the project-oriented approach in a programming course at Subotica Tech, an institution that educates professional engineers. In that course the students are developing applications for mobile devices. This novel method is based on the inclusion of the great number of demands from the industry, which the future engineers meet upon entering this sector.

AB  - This paper presents and analyzes the results of the application of computer-adaptive testing in knowledge evaluation of the programming language C++. The participants of the research were college students majoring in computer engineering from a polytechnic college (Republic of Serbia) with an average age of 20. The research was conducted over a two-year period. Overall 199 students took part in this research. Two groups of students, the experimental, and the control one were observed. The students in the experimental group took the computer adaptive test and the students from the control group did the paper-and-pencil test. For the purposes of determining the effects of applying the computer adaptive test for knowledge evaluation, the adaptive test was realized in the MATLAB software package. The test consists of multiple choice questions with five possible answers. The questions for the test are divided into three clusters according to the level of difficulty (easy, medium and hard). The score is calculated from the level of difficulty. The difficult questions earn more points than the easy ones. The examinees may answer the same percentage of questions correctly, but an examinee will gain a better score assuming they correctly answered more difficult items. The results of the research show that there is a statistically significant difference between the results of the control and experimental group. The students who worked on a computer-adaptive test achieved a higher average score than the students who did the traditional test.

AB  - The Bologna system makes class attendance mandatory. Recording attendance is inefficient and takes up too much class time especially with larger groups of students. If a professor records student attendance manually, they have to look at student, write it down and go to the next student. If the check takes five minutes of a 45-minute class, that means the teachers lose approximately 10 percent of the class just on attendance instead spending it on teaching. The majority of students have some kind of smart device and these can be used to make an application so that students can log in their attendance. One possible solution for this is the application called Muffin. Muffin consists of a mobile application that students have on their personal mobile devices, an Arduino Uno board with Bluetooth module, and a desktop application. The basic idea is that when students want to log in their attendance, all they need to do is send some log in data to the Arduino board, which is then forwarded to the application on the desktop PC that is directly connected to the board.

AB  - Programming is a major subject in Computer Science (CS) departments. However, students often face difficulties on the basic programming courses due to several factors that cause these difficulties. The most important reason may be the lack of problem solving abilities that many students show. Learning to code can be made more effective if it is perceived as fun by the learner. Code Hunt uses puzzles that players have to explore by means of clues presented as test cases. Players iteratively modify their code to match the functional behavior of secret solutions. The aim of this paper is to introduce an educational, browser-based coding game which can help in learning coding.

Maybe the most important reason is the lack of problem solving abilities that many students show. This paper describes the web-based environment Pex4Fun from Microsoft Research for teaching computer science. Pex4Fun can be used to teach and learn computer programming at many levels, from high school all the way through graduate courses. Pex4Fun was experimentally used for learning Visual Basic with college students, the results of which are presented in this paper.

AB  - Computer based tests are becoming increasingly important and are thus implemented in all fields of education. The clear advantage of computer adaptive testing is witnessed by the maximal balance of accuracy and efficiency. For purposes of determining the effects of applying the computer adaptive test for knowledge evaluation, the adaptive test was realized in the MATLAB software package. The research was done at Subotica Tech - College of Applied Sciences (Subotica, Serbia) with students from the Department of Informatics. The MATLAB application was compared with two computer adaptive tests with a similar purpose: testing student's knowledge of programming languages. The comparison was done for the four basic components that every computer adaptive test has to have: item bank, starting point, item selection algorithm and stopping rule.
