their availability to prepare, including non-computing related jobs, caring for a familymember, or ongoing health issues. While we do consider the support mechanisms students mayleverage to overcome obstacles, in general, these results emphasize the larger issues in existinghiring structures, and demonstrate the importance of not treating students as a monolith. Thefindings from this work are intended to inform educators about how to better prepare students tosucceed on technical interviews, and to encourage industry to reform the process to make it moreequitable.1 IntroductionBetween 2019 and 2029, demand for workers in computing occupations are expected to surge28.8% [1].

We study the effects on student learning efficiency, code quality of solutions, andstudent perceptions of their learning experience.MethodsWe ran a field experiment in a CS1 introductory course for non-majors at a large public universityin the Spring of 2019 with 264 enrolled students. This course is primarily taken by undergraduateengineering students, and it is required for their degrees. The course covers typical CS1 topicssuch as variables, plotting data, conditionals, loops, functions, string manipulation, arrays, fileI/O, etc. and the programming language is MATLAB.

. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Wireless Sensor Networks in Smart and Secure HomesAbstractRecent advances in wireless networks and electronics have led to the emergence of WirelessSensor networks (WSNs). These networks consist of small battery–powered motors with limitedcomputation and radio communication capabilities. Each sensor in a sensor network consists ofthree subsystems: the sensor subsystem which senses the environment, the processing subsystemwhich performs local computations on the sensed data, and the communication subsystem whichis responsible for message exchanges with neighboring sensors. WSNs comprise tiny wirelesscomputers that sense, process, and communicate environmental stimuli, including
