computationalthinking skills needed to excel in the digital economy. One program that was created as part ofthe President’s initiative was the Research-Practitioner Partnership (RPP) grants issued by theNational Science Foundation. The program has four objectives: 1) develop a connectedcommunity of practice; 2) develop and manage a participant-driven and multi-site researchagenda; 3) convene a researcher evaluator working group to develop a process for advancing theshared-research agenda; and 4) collect qualitative and quantitative data about RPP’simplementation and common impact data. However, there has been no detailed reports or studiesof these funded RPP projects thus making their impacts difficult to observe. Thus, this researchentailed a systematic

In particular, mentorship relationships within the community have provided readyavenues for the translation of best practices. In this paper, we describe and analyze the redesignof one such course in the WIDER community, highlighting how the redesign of this course wasinformed by its involvement within this larger community of practice.1. Introduction Since the 1980s the Computer Science (CS) department at The University of Illinois(UIUC) has offered a service course, “Introduction to Computing”, that was designed to servenon-CS and non

Chaney [11] and Lee [12] recognize that most engineeringcourses' highly technical subject matter can be challenging and amplify the need for intentionalcourse design. The curriculum structure is imperative to satisfaction and academic achievement[13], [14], [15]. With the widespread applicability of this mixed-method, exploratory case studyto other courses within the engineering domain, new insight into a framework of course designcan be identified and explored.

]. The camouflage is not just a turn of phrase because the kinds of harmful algorithms she discusses are “by design, inscrutable black boxes” [33:28]. She devotes a whole chapter to the impact of the U.S. News college ranking system and how its use of known proxies creates a system prone to gaming. This possibility for gaming then lay the foundation for a consulting industry that further privileges students with a high socioeconomic status (usually white, urban, upper-class families). Therefore, even if the model itself might not be the main discriminatory tool, it can set clear conditions for discriminatory practices. This is a salient point because, as O’Neil illustrates, one of the reasons we wish to create models is so that

In this class, the students are assumed tolearn the applications of popular sensors and actuators and study wireless communication devicesand protocols. Then, they can synthesize the knowledge of fundamental STEM, the introductionlevel of robotics, and design to develop a complicated project. As discussed above, the classmainly focuses on how to understand the theories through practical applications indirectly insteadof how to deliver the theories directly.
