Michigan developed the Social Engagement Toolkit(SET), a library of training on various topics related to socially engaged design practices. At aminority-serving institution, several workshops from the SET were implemented to support asemester-long, extra-curricular project experience for students majoring in Computer Sciencewho aimed to design software solutions to address real-world problems. SET workshops onseveral topics, including Introduction to Socially Engaged Design, Crafting Need Statements,Ecosystem Stakeholder Mapping, Interviews, User Requirements and Specifications, IdeaGeneration, and Concept Selection and Prototyping were used to provide scaffolding forstudents’ design projects and teach critical skills that are not often

studentcompletion of tasks [21].In computer science, we often ask students to build larger programming projects over the span ofdays or weeks. As teachers, we know that students do not always have the skills to project andtime manage themselves well on these larger projects. Additionally, we know that trying toestimate how long it takes to plan, program, and test software projects is hard [22] and evensoftware organizations in industry find it challenging to deliver software on time [23]. To helpscaffold students on these larger projects, teachers often break projects up into milestones orseparate gradable deliverables.Benefits of Milestones in Programming ProjectsBy breaking these larger projects into distinct milestone assignments, teachers can more

engineering methodologies (e.g., iterativevs. plan-based) and specific techniques for software design, implementation, validation,deployment, and maintenance. Pertinent to this study, one learning outcome relates tocybersecurity analysis.The course uses a project-based learning approach to teach these outcomes. Students work inteams (groups of 3 to 4 individuals) on a semester-long software engineering project. Teamsmust provide weekly updates, but these are intended to help course staff assist struggling teamsrather than as assessment instruments. The primary assessable assignments are the majormilestones of the project – deliveries in week 4, week ~8, and week 16. The project requirementshave been similar in all offerings of the course (Fall 2021

categories of schoolwork also indicates thewidespread usage of these tools.Respondents indicated they were aware of many different uses of GenAI in their computingcourses (Figure 5). However, knowledge of understanding/summarizing home or project promptsreceived the most responses. This result suggests that project or assignment prompts might bepoorly written or overly verbose to the point that students struggle to even understand them.Additionally, considering this usage of GenAI tools does not register as one that might breakacademic integrity rules, students could be the most aware of it because they either understandthemselves or have been told by an instructor that this is an accepted way to use Gen AI forschool.We then asked users if they used

Greg Wilson, who created the initial Software Carpentry project [7], has madenumerous recommendations to adopt of key SEPTs in the scientific computingcommunity [20, 27–29]. Interventions in engineering fields (outside of computing) are rare.The SWEBOK GuideFrom the earliest uses of the term “software engineering”, there have been calls to establish thefield as an engineering profession [30], particularly by the two leading professional societies incomputing, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Computer Society of theInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Efforts to establish software engineeringas a profession have included a call to compile a standard set of knowledge
