of Education, and Code.org. The SUCCESS RPP partnership first convened at a summer 2021 workshop, where middleschool-level “design teams” including teachers, principals and counselors were formed. These teamsworked with district and university SUCCESS senior personnel to modify the most widely used CScurriculum in the world (Code.org) and understand how the RPP would use data obtained from partnersand students of participating teachers. Data collected are used to provide and iteratively improve culturallyresponsive development (PD) and other supports to additional state districts in summer 2022 and 2023. Inthis paper, we provide an update of the impact of the project to date on numbers of teachers, counselors,and principals, and
span of 3 to 4 semestersranging from Fall 2020 to Spring 2022. A small portion of this work has already been publishedby the authors that strictly focuses on its initial impacts during Fall 2020 semester [16]. Neweroutcomes regarding this work are discussed in this current article that represent findings thattrend over a span of 3 to 4 semesters instead of one.During each of the targeted semesters, this study included a PRE and POST assessment to gaugethe students’ problem-solving abilities at different points throughout a given semester. Thetargeted participants for this study were students enrolled in either the CS2 or Object-OrientedProgramming (OOP) course at a Mid-Atlantic HBCU in the United States. Just to note: the OOPcourse was not

Students are required torun the in-class coding exercises via the Jupyter Notebook extension installed in VS Code andcomplete the programming tasks (homework assignments, lab exercises, and projects) in VSCode independently.5.2. VS Code and VS Code Guidance EvaluationWe designed a survey of 21 questions to gather students' feedback on both VS Code and the VSCode Guidance at the end of the semester. The survey first collects information about students'backgrounds, then asks them to rate VS Code and the guidance based on their programmingexperience throughout the semester. We received a total of 82 valid responses, with 42 responsesfrom the Fall 2022 and 40 responses from the Spring 2023.First, we collected students' background
analysis will then help us identify thebenefits and detriments of how the server is currently being utilized (RQ2) so we can thenprovide recommendations for those wishing to start their own departmental Discord server. Next, we will discuss our data collection strategies. Due to the server and its contentbeing public, we have already collected four semesters worth of individual course channelconversations. These semesters include Spring 2022, Summer 2022, Fall 2022, and Spring 2023.Discord does not allow user accounts to scrape data automatically, so we created a bot that wasadded to our server of interest and automated scraping conversations from all the server’s classchannels. We used a free, open-source tool called DiscordChatExporter 1
project. Results of this choice are presented in the Results section.There was also a concern that the higher level of complexity of Python could lead to a lowerlevel of student achievement in the course. Python is a relatively easy language to learn,however MATLAB is even easier. Some faculty members felt that students learning Pythonmight progress more slowly and finish the course with fewer programming skills than those wholearned using MATLAB.An objective of this paper is to explore the extent to which the second concern is true. Studentwork from two different semesters is compared. Instruction during Fall 2022 used MATLABonly; during Fall 2023, most of the course was taught using Python. Assignments used in thispaper for comparison of
following this scheme for several years. Although encouraged to talkto each other, students are expected to create their solutions independently and not copy themfrom other students. The due dates in the course are mostly not flexible.2.4.2 The Experiment: Including an Engineering Design ProjectIn fall 2021 and spring 2022, students in that course were asked to complete an EngineeringDesign Project in addition to their programming work. To balance the course workload,homework was optional in one semester, while activities were optional in the other semester. Theexpected product students had to create was an App developed in MATLAB in which studentsimplemented their solution to a programming problem that they defined. For this projectdefinition
knowledge from their less familiar discipline, they didn't always achieve acomprehensive practical understanding of the class outcomes. The paper also discusses the merits anddrawbacks of employing both approaches to build an interdisciplinary class. The benefits, pros, and consof having both approaches to building an interdisciplinary class are discussed. IntroductionCollaborative skills have been widely recognized as the primary skills for success in 21st-century society(National Science Foundation, 2020; Engineers Australia, 2022; Engineering Council, UK, 2020). In thefield of STEM professions, the development of these collaborative skills is critical to work effectively ininterdisciplinary

ofoverhauling the curricula was supported by a federal grant awarded through Texas HigherEducation Coordinating Board (THECB) in early 2022 [1]. The motivation of the grant viaTHECB was to have an educational institution contribute towards 60x30TX educational goalwhich is to have 60% or more of 25–34-year-old Texans secure a certificate or a degree by theyear 2030 [2]. Increasing the number of accelerated credentials embedded in higher educationdegrees is meant to allow students to secure certificates even when some of the students cannotcomplete a degree due to any reason. This can also be viewed as stackable milestones, or stacks,being achieved while pursuing a degree rather than a binary result of either obtaining a degree ordropping out
Analysis. It is a graduate course, open to allengineering and computer science majors. Although an introductory statistics course is notrequired, it is recommended. The course has been taught four times since 2016, evolving from anapplied statistics course into a data science course. Previously, much of the course content wascentered on statistics and practice of statistical concepts using textbook problems with a finalproject applying these concepts to a real-world data set. The last time that the course was taught,in Fall 2022, the statistics content was reduced, a textbook was not used, and the course almostexclusively relied on real-world data sets for lecture examples and homework assignments. Table2 outlines the lecture topics covered. In

apply them [13]. Likewise, ML isseen as a difficult topic to learn and understand, one that cannot be attempted without years ofeducation in computer science and mathematics. In short, most engineering faculty and studentsdo not know where to begin when implementing or teaching ML in practical applications. Thispaper introduces a course that attempts to fill some of these gaps for our engineering students.Course contentIn spring of 2022 the author taught a course at Louisiana Tech University titled “Machine Learningin Predictive Maintenance.” The purpose of this course was to introduce engineering students tomachine learning concepts centered on a real-world application of the technology. Nine studentscompleted the course, five from Mechanical
flipped machinelearning classes offered during the spring and fall semesters of 2022. The flipped modules of thiscourse include video lectures that vary in length, ranging from 4 to 20 minutes. Depending on thevideo's length, we required students to finish between three to seven video lessons before classtime. To analyze student interaction with videos of different lengths, we statistically analyzed thevideo coverage from different modules and used surveys to gather students' preferences for videolength. Our analysis indicated that the number of students completing videos before class timesignificantly decreased as video duration increased. However, once students started a video, theycompleted most of it irrespective of its length. Statistical

sections. In the Fall 2022 semester, we piloted aself-paced, mastery-learning model for the online section, while the in-person sections continuedto follow a traditional format.Mastery LearningThe mastery learning approach was articulated in the 1960s by Bloom [1], who saw it asenabling nearly all students to achieve mastery of a subject, despite variations in aptitude andlearning styles. The essential idea, which derives from Carroll [2], is that variations in aptitudedo not imply differences in the capacity to master the material, only to differences in the timerequired to achieve mastery. Mastery learning is therefore closely linked to self-pacedinstruction.A review of prior work on mastery learning in computer science education is given in [3
Cornerstone Projects will becompared. Project 1 took place during the spring of 2022 and was comprised of a windmillpower generation system. Students constructed this windmill and used Arduino programming tointerpret sensor data and calculate system performance. Project 2 took place during the 2022summer semester and was comprised of a water filtration system. In this project, students utilizedthe Arduino to both observe system information and control its behavior.At the end of each of these semesters, students took a survey in which they provided theirperceptions of the programming instruction they received, in addition to expressing theirconfidence in programming. Results of these questions from Spring 2022 (Project 1) andSummer 2022 (Project 2
term of 2021, the Aplic Triang mobileapplication [4] was used for the first time in an experimental group and compared with a controlgroup, finding a significant difference in the time a student takes to solve one exercise [5]. Then,in the spring of 2022, the Aplic Triang mobile application was used to demonstrate that thesignificant difference in the time reduction was not related to the teacher's expertise but to thedidactic strategy that included the mobile app. This paper presents the didactic strategy in classto use the app, some of the mobile app characteristics, the result of the test applied, and, finally,the conclusions of the work.Literature reviewSeveral authors state that the positive correlation between learning results and
introduction to programming courses. In this paper we focus onanother important gateway course in the computing sequence: Discrete Math. This courseinvolves conceptual problem solving that requires students to think about a problem andconceptually understand it before starting to work on it. This might require different studybehaviors than those needed when working to compile code where trial and error might helpforge a way towards a solution. The theoretical mathematical nature of the course mightalso alter students motivation.2 MethodsOur goal was to discover student profiles that might be associated with performance in aDiscrete Math course. We surveyed students in two different offerings of the course Fall2021 and Spring 2022 and checked to
, UR101 IntroductionRobotics is considered to be one of the most engaging and tangible subjects in Engineering (Van Dyne and Fjermestad,2012; Passos et al., 2022). However, certain kinds of robotics, such as small mobile robots, are more often featured inpractical engineering coursework due to safety and cost constraints (McLurkin et al., 2013). As a result, engineeringstudents may never get direct practice working with certain types of robotic equipment, such as robotic arms, despitethat equipment being vital to modern industry (Gomes and Bogosyan, 2009). In these cases, some instructors haveturned to simulations and virtual reality (VR) to provide exposure (Rukangu et al., 2021; Cassola et al., 2021). However,simulations rarely emulate a
