from this experience? - The workshops covered information I anticipate I will use in my future academic or professional career on a 5-point scale (strongly disagree, somewhat disagree, neither agree nor disagree, somewhat agree, and strongly agree) with the list of all workshops. - What were the workshops that helped you the most for the project? Why? - What changes would you like to see to the workshops? - What kind of support would have been beneficial? - Are there particular topics that you would have liked to have seen covered more or less? - Would you recommend this experience to other students? Why or why not?One team member led the data analysis of qualitative data by reading through all

sent in Fall 2023 to students in their current second year andbeyond as an initial assessment of academic experience and factors included course content,workload, stress, engineering identity, graduate attributes, and more. This survey will berepeated in the summer of 2024 to determine continual improvement measures and to assess anyadditional modifications that may be needed within the curriculum redesign. An initial review ofthe survey feedback (n=74) showed that students who went through the new curriculum are morelikely to agree or strongly agree that the course content has been valuable and relevant to theirfuture careers. Table 1 shows a comparison between students who began their softwareengineering studies prior to Fall 2022, and those

The Computer Science degree at UVUis accredited by Computing Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET). Currently, the Computer Science Department has morethan 1300 students. The Engineering programs at UVU are accredited by EngineeringAccreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.Computer Engineering Program’s Capstone CourseOur CE capstone course is structured as a collection of independent student projects. This courseis offered every semester. Usually, the students in the Computer Engineering program take thiscourse during their last semester. Students either can come up with an embedded

master mentors and coaches are present to develop a deepunderstanding of the foundations of agile [1][3]. An agile mindset suggests mastering these skillsfor practitioners to have an effective teamwork environment [3]. Thus, developing a proper agilemindset enhances agile project success [4]. Early career software engineers typically receivetheir first exposure to agile principles and methods in a university setting. Project-centric coursessuch as capstone experiences often expose students to the Agile Manifesto and to themechanisms of industry-relevant agile practices. But to what extent does this exposure help thesefuture professionals develop the agile mindset required to be successful in the modern softwaredevelopment organization?Popular

Engineering Department has more than 900 students in five programswhich are housed in that department. Before forming the Engineering Department at UVU,Computer Engineering program was housed in the Computer Science department which offers aBachelor of Science (BS) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, and Computational DataScience. It also offers a Bachelor of Applied Science in Software Development and a Master ofComputer Science. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program was one of the firstBachelor of Science programs implemented at UVU in 1993. The program’s goal has been toprovide a quality program that meets accreditation standards while providing the students with askill set that allows them to succeed in computing careers. The

a sense of adoption rateand uses. Unfortunately, large-scale, general surveys about AI in education often focus onwriting essays and have limited reporting on coding assignments. When research is focused oncomputing students, we see much more robust usage. For example, Amoozadeh and team [10]surveyed over 100 computing students at a large US university and found 76% reported havingused GenAI tools, and 65% reported using them to complete programming tasks.Notably, these student-facing surveys and interviews have not dug into what exactly students aredoing with GenAI, their reflections on its usefulness, and their perceptions on how it is changingtheir educational journey in terms of academic integrity and career prospects.MethodsWe
