The course meets forthree 50-minute lecture sessions and a 165-minute computer lab session. Programming 1 is arequired course for students in a wide range of majors including: computer science, computerengineering, electrical engineering, data analytics, mathematics, and physics. The studentpopulation also includes those pursuing a CS minor from disciplines such as mechanicalengineering, manufacturing technology, statistics, and finance. As expected with a course housedwithin a college of engineering, the majority of the students are first-year engineering students.Furthermore, as computer

IntroductionThis paper is about a program created to improve the academic success and workforce readinessfor low income, high academic potential Computer Science (CS) majors. It was funded by theScholarships for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (SSTEM) program of theNational
Computer Sci- ence (from Galileo University, Guatemala) and an MSc. in Operations Research (from Galileo University, Guatemala). He is currently a Ph.D. candidate in information technologies applied to education. He also has a vast teaching experience in mathematics for engineering, which has led him to obtain multiple ex- cellence teaching awards. His research area is engineering education, where he has worked on numerous research projects to improve students’ academic performance and motivation. Additionally, he collabo- rates with the SENACYT (Secretar´ıa Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnolog´ıa) as National Contact Point (NCP) in the CELAC (Comunidad de Estados Latinoamericanos) group to promote research infrastructures
made me the most confident as an engineering educator is rendering my steps visible. I have to go 7 through every step and I just kind of do them in the back of my head. I forgot that they were not things people just know.We addressed students’ conceptual difficulties by making the learning process visible to students(1DM). In addition, we created an inclusive learning environment by learning students’ names,providing active learning opportunities, incorporating technology, and creating environmentswhere students feel comfortable voicing questions and concerns.Communicating with students: There are multiple dimensions to this sub-theme
