Our goal is to provide the reader with an overview of the deliverable and findings that resulted from three collaborative National Science Foundation (NSF) awards from the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) program; #1504634, #1502564, and #1503834. The so-called EvoParsons project (http://cereal.usf.edu/EvoParsons) resulted in a proof of concept educational software aimed at novice programmers. It applies coevolutionary computations theories and advances to both design Parsons puzzles for students, and enable a dimension based analysis
