Work-in-Progress: Engaging First-Year Students in Programming 1 During COVID-19AbstractDuring the Fall 2020 semester, it became even more important than before to engage students inthe “classroom” whether that be in-person, online, or a hybrid model. This paper will introducevarious entrepreneurial mindset (EM) techniques to engage students that could be adapted to anyengineering course. All the techniques have suggestions for adapting to a fully online course aswell as working for an in-person or hybrid class. The first activity presented will be name signswith badges that will promote (1) setting, evaluating, and achieving goals, (2) self-reflection, (3)considering a problem from multiple viewpoints, and (4

reflecting on a Capstone experience with the purpose ofsuggestions for improving the experience. The contrast of the ACM literature and the ASEEliterature is that software projects tend to be more focused on design and verification, where theengineering papers tend to have more focus on process such as funding and project launch. Inboth the ACM and ASEE literature review it was most common for Capstone experiences tospan two semesters with some literature suggesting that going to a two-semester program wouldbe beneficial [11].In the literature, the following common question groups were observed, and informed theanalysis and narrative of the case studies in this work: • Project format: How are projects assigned?

Theprogram has been written in a modular format to allow easy substitution of titles. The outputspreadsheet is shown in Figure 2. In addition to renaming the columns, a few basic calculationshave been made. This includes changing the time from AM/PM to military formats. The timedurations have been calculated. This requires some correction for academic practices such as 50minutes = 1 hour and a 3-hour laboratory might be 2 hours and 45 minutes. It is worth notingthat the durations of ECET 452 and EE 311 are not an even or half and the times for thesecourses will need to be adjusted. The weight reflects

This global perspective is rooted in a vision of SJSU as a preeminent producer of forward-thinking problem-solvers. With this goal in mind, Wei has established the Silicon Valley Engineering Scholarship, a program that provides $5,000 of annual support for high-achieving students to pursue engineering careers.

-12 curriculums. As computational thinking (CT) coursesbecome common in K-12 education [11]–[18], some higher education institutions also startedoffering computational thinking courses to students from any majors [4], [19]. At its heart, thismovement reflects that computational thinking is everywhere and for everyone [20]. Various studies reported using text-based computer-programming- [13], [21]–[25], visualcomputer-programming [26]–[28], and puzzle instructional approaches [11], [29]–[31] to teachcomputational thinking. Most of these studies reported a positive impact on learning computingprinciples and an increase of interest in computer science in male and female students [12], [26],[28].

A WSN may have one or multiple base-stationswhich collect data from all sensory devices. These base-stations serve as the interface throughwhich the WSN interacts with the outside world [2]. The basic premise of a WSN is to performnetworked sensing using many relatively rudimentary sensors instead of utilizing the moreconventional approach of developing a few expensive and sophisticated sensing modules [2].The potential advantage of networked sensing over the conventional approach, can besummarized as greater coverage, accuracy

On the other hand, if the question was phrased to be too specific, it would trigger awide range of feedback (i.e., a normal distribution curve with a high deviation).According to the instructor, the P2P platform was somehow functionally coupled with thelearning management system (LMS). From time to time, students needed to visit the LMS towatch the lecture recordings to reflect the previous concepts during the self-study of newconcepts. Once students developed a routine habit of using the platform, it was also used bythe instructor to make important course announcements and conduct course surveys.Conclusion, Limitation, and Future WorkThis paper presents a new learning
