As part of the research/verificationprocess, a limited amount of survey data was collected from students to help us establishunderlying issues and how suggested sustainable changes might be perceived. In conductingthis work, certain challenges have arisen as well as opportunities.IntroductionIn this introductory section, we set the scene and explain the rationale for the project reportedupon in this paper.

However, retentionrates and student perceptions of SoftDes say little about how students view the course in thecontext of their overalll education, or how these skills are useful in their future studies,internships, or jobs. Despite this, SoftDes is designed to better equip students with computingskills, whatever they may end up doing, and traditional metrics do not capture the success of thecourse in that goal.In the summer of 2020, we undertook a major redesign of SoftDes in preparation for the Fall 2020semester.
