valuable addition tothe electrical engineering curriculum.We argue that the reasons behind the technical choices, their impact on the resource consumptionand the performance versus flexibility tradeoffs are relevant for cellular communicationsstandards education. Moreover, project management, team work, development of realisticexpectations and practical solutions are skills that are much demanded by industry in addition todomain-specific technical specialization. We therefore propose a methodology for teachingstandards that creates favorable conditions for developing those skills.The combination of lecture-centered education [2] with laboratory-centered approaches [3], [4],has been adopted in the engineering curriculum when the Conceive, Design
ConclusionThe course uses a variety of problem-solving strategies and encourages practice, exploration, andtinkering to increase students’ comfort not only with their technical skills but also with theirability to acquire new skills. Students can thus approach future coursework, research, andinternships with some introductory experience with version control, security, command line tools,web development, and user-centered design. The course is significantly composed of classworkactivities so that students are highly engaged and regularly expected to work with their peers.Furthermore, this course could be a gateway for students to engage in more computing experienceoutside of their college coursework: hackathons, online coding challenges, computing clubs

We support 10 students to participate in summer research each year andencourage our Scholars to seek summer research opportunities in other schools.The third component provides funding for up to 10 students each year to attend professionalconferences such as The Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing, The GraceHopper Celebration of Women in Computing, and other conferences that students haveexpressed interest in. Attending a professional conference is an effective approach to recruit andretain students, particularly URSs in computing majors [11], [12].In the rest of the paper, we share

The course sequence iscarefully designed to scaffold student learning by enabling them to acquire a well-organizedbody of knowledge and skills with the aid of a growth mindset that encourages them to persist intheir learning.2. Student recruitment and profileA recent report from the Center on Education and the Workforce (2015) found that social sciencemajors have among the highest unemployment rates of all college graduates. When recruitingsocial science students for the ACBSS program, we highlight this sobering statistic to encouragethem to diversify their skill set and make them more marketable for technology-oriented careers.We frequently find, however, that many students fail to see the relevance of their social
