-term investment in a software platform.IntroductionExperiential learning is a relatively modern technique to supplement students’ education by“[developing] a wide range of thinking strategies and perceptual skills which are not called forthby books or lectures” [1]. The benefits of this method have long-term impacts that play a crucialrole in an individual’s professional success. Most ABET-accredited higher-education programsfeature a design course intended to leverage experiential learning by pairing the culmination ofstudents’ knowledge from their undergraduate program with a simulated real-world industryenvironment [2], [3]. There are also several supplemental outlets for continuous project-basedlearning on a larger scale, such as research

Common resources were provided for all students to train them in conductingresearch. Teams were then tasked with developing a more comprehensive research plan for theirspecific project and carrying out that plan throughout the 2020-2021 academic year.Students completed a pre-survey at the start of the project and a mid-project survey shortly afterthe winter break. The surveys combined project specific skills questions as well as relevantquestions from the Undergraduate Research Student Self-Assessment (URSSA), an NSF-fundedassessment tool to measure

Computer occupations play a critical role in STEM.The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projected that about 600,000 or 67% of all new jobs inSTEM between 2018 and 2028 would be in computing. Average annual openings in computeroccupations during the decade were projected to be about 450,000 [2]. Although the number ofstudents who graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer and information sciences in 2016was more than 70,000

There is no way to start over in the public blockchain implementation whichmakes teaching blockchain technology using public platforms extremely challenging. The mainreason is the abstract concept of the blockchain which presents a significant challenge to introduc-ing the blockchain technology in the undergraduate curriculum and demystifying the blockchainnetwork and its inner workings.In this project, two students and their advisor embarked on defining, designing, constructing, andconfiguring a Private Blockchain

Thesebadges being a 0% column in the gradebook allow students to access and see their achievementswhenever they wanted. Additionally, they would receive a notification from the system when thebadge was “entered”. The idea behind this badge system is to encourage students to work hardand achieve various skills through the semester. The badges are like those often earned in a videogame.

Reflection prompts can guide studentsto articulate a problem and develop their problem-solving skills [3].In a Data Structures and Algorithms courses we expect students to use their knowledge fromintroductory programming courses to implement data structures and algorithms for solvingproblems efficiently in terms of space and time complexity [4]. Assignments and projects in DataStructures and Algorithms require students to make decisions about what data structures to useand are challenging enough that jumping straight into coding is not an efficient way to solve theproblem. Students often have a hard time choosing the most efficient data structure, which maybe less familiar, rather than the data structures they are comfortable

Lattuca et. al.’s2017 engineering education study found that a curricular emphasis on interdisciplinary topicsand skills (specifically including participating in non-engineering co-curricular activities andhumanitarian engineering projects), “significantly and positively relate to engineering students’reports of interdisciplinary skills” [4]. In this paper, we suggest an interdisciplinary computerprogramming exercise based on Ada Lovelace’s 1843 program for Charles Babbage’s AnalyticalEngine, thus promoting knowledge transfer between the humanities (history) and computerscience.

that homework accuracy 2 weeks prior can indicate exam perfor-mance [6], which suggests time is an influential factor in flipped classrooms. With this in mind,it is evident that understanding student behaviors is necessary to improve the learning in flippedclassrooms. Willman et al., studied the effect of study habits in students’ performance in CS1 and found that“students who receive the highest grade start and finish their work early, do not work on weekends,and do not work at night....” [18]. Edwards et al., and Shaffer et al., also found that students whobegin programming projects earlier perform better than those who begin closer to the due date[16, 19]. Given that it is mostly accepted that students who start earlier on assignments
