on several topicsare taught at many universities, and all the lessons are available online[14]. The idea fordeveloping the elective course came from my experience in attending a Software Carpentryworkshop on Python. The workshops include a significant amount of problem-based learningthrough active hands-on computational exercises during which the instructor answers questionsaround the room; this was preserved in the semester-long elective course. Additionally, both theworkshops and the course aim to rapidly develop proficiency rather than provide a detailedcoverage of all background and theoretical aspects, which are suitably covered by existingcourses.To build computational skills in students interested in mathematical modeling from all

Interventions Faculty Can Deploy to Increase Retention: A Faculty 2 Cookbook for Increasing Student Success 3 4 Byron Hempel^, Kasi Kiehlbaugh^, Paul Blowers^ 5 ^Chemical and Environmental Engineering, University of Arizona 6 Abstract 7 8 Student retention in college is often expected to be handled by advisers, staff, and administrators. 9 Faculty, however, are the only members in academia that students are required to interact with regularly.10 For most courses offered in higher education, the contact time between faculty and students is normally11 three hours per week, allowing faculty to have a large impact on student outcomes. This paper discusses12 how to deploy
