The selection of Python lesson topics might not followthe order in which topics are covered in a formal class setting: lessons should be curated to coveronly the material needed for the students to complete the project. For example, some capstoneprojects might require external modules or advanced data structures that might need to becovered instead of simpler concepts or built-in functions. We visualize this approach using ananalogy to building with bricks (Fig. 2). A formal

on Initial Math PlacementAbstractThis work-in-progress (WIP) paper details a study of engineering student success and retentionbased on initial math placement. Many engineering programs' four-year plans of study are basedon first-semester placement in a Calculus math class. This makes math placement a criticaldeterminant for a student's ability to graduate in four years. Post-COVID, the math readiness ofgraduating high school students has been declining, resulting in more first-year engineeringstudents being placed in pre-calculus math classes. Gonzaga University’s School of Engineeringand Applied Science was experiencing a similar rise in pre-calculus math placement. Readilyavailable institutional data showed a decrease in student retention

transposeswell-established concepts from teaching and learning into the context of faculty development. Itis an intriguing intellectual exercise to view the facilitator as a provider of a meaningfulframework in which faculty can share experiences, build a community, and learn collectively.Moreover, there are clear parallels between active learning in faculty development and inclassroom teaching. For instance, organizing an active learning session often requiressignificantly more effort than preparing a traditional slide presentation. When successful,participants are typically unaware of the effort involved in planning the session; however, if theactivity falls short, the organizer often bears the blame.

Anotherquestionnaire was developed to measure science career aspirations among elementary schoolstudents [28, 29]. A recent scale [30] extended the questionnaire by DeWitt and colleagues[28] to create an instrument with separate career aspiration scales, each consisting of fouritems, for five disciplines: science, technology, mathematics, engineering, and education.Similarly, for this study, we adapted items from the scale proposed by DeWitt and colleagues[28] to measure GS career aspirations.

The instructor or TA reviews the work, uses a rubric to assess its accuracyor correctness, and slaps on a grade.
