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

In Bolman and Deal’s model, the four cognitive frames include: (1)the structural frame, which is focused on rules, goals, policies, and technologies of anorganization; (2) the human resources frame, which is focused on the needs and skills of thepeople in the organization, as well as the relationships between them; (3) the political frame,which is focused on the sources of power, conflict, and competition, as well as on allocation ofscarce resources; and (4) the

Previous researchsuggests that project-based learning builds students’ engineering/computing identity by piquingand developing student interest in engineering topics. Literature on the sense of belonging inengineering suggests that experiencing camaraderie within course-based teams, and particularlyhaving a clear purpose or role within the team, can promote that sense of belonging.
