share what was working.The first semester there was a low success rate (55.1%) relative to regular statistics (73.6%)classes. Granted, this was in Spring 2021 during the second fully online semester due to theCovid-19 pandemic. Upon reflection, we made a number of pedagogical and curricular changesthe following semester to improve student success and retention. In preparation for Fall 2021,both the new, second faculty cohort and the original cohort met almost daily during the monthleading up to the start of the semester to work on common curriculum and syllabus. As a result,a Canvas shell with the core curriculum was made available for new and existing faculty to copy.Additions to the course included more time and activities designed to help

", in Python, Java, and C++,intended for use in college-level CS1 and CS2 courses. The books were authored for the web andthus primarily exist online only (they can be printed, but are not optimized for paper). Each bookwas written in a similar style in terms of organization, coverage, depth, and style. The books usean interactive approach in which each topic is taught using minimal text, animations, andlearning questions. The key observation we make here is that, although some variability existsamong the three books, that variability is substantially less than for nearly any other collection oftop-selling books in those three languages.In addition to the core material, these textbooks each include integrated coding homeworkproblems.

Retraining classes occur shortly after a mid-term exam; these sessions act as a forcing function for students to review any mistakes made,with the teacher available as a guide to clear any confusion on the topics covered by the exam.The goal of these retraining exercises was to rapidly mitigate the risk of knowledge gaps that cancompound as course content becomes increasingly rigorous. Prior to assessing the retrainingeffects on students’ performance, the authors needed to determine whether the final exam in thecourse could be used as a metric to compare the performance of different

The method of selection adopted for thisteaching model mitigates potential problems regarding to students’ lack of interest becausethe content covered in the classes delivered by the industry practitioners are part of theirevaluation.

These projects also consider the course syllabus and practical skillsrequired for students, like problem-solving and hands-on skills.For example, the sophomore year at SDIM involves five project-based courses: Design Thinkingand Engineering, Electronic engineering and Analog Circuits, Material Engineering, RapidPrototyping, 3D Print, and Mechanical Engineering.

During the COVID pandemic faculty may have experienced dilemmas regardingstudent health (and the health of the surrounding community) as campus administrators madedecisions about in-person versus online instruction. Universities and faculty are also increasinglyattending to student mental health. Finally, it is argued that considerations of welfare are themost challenging. Faculty perhaps think of student welfare long-term, as they help students buildknowledge and skills that may yield post-graduation benefits in terms of employment. But doesthis long-term perspective cause us to undervalue in-the-moment student welfare? Our policiesand practices may cause stress, and stress has been shown to inhibit

disciplinary contexts arestandards on academic integrity found in course syllabi. These statements about plagiarism,cheating, and intellectual property have been standardized and are practically copied and pastedinto each new syllabus. These principles are perceived as being so common sense that manyinstructors no longer attend to them when going over the syllabus with students. Such “common-sense” ethics are not unique to higher education contexts but can be found in almost anyorganization. Yet, just as students still get in trouble for plagiarism under the guise of ignorance,engineering professionals can participate in ethical missteps which might be labeled as implicit,understood, or common-sense.
