For STEM students, the growing needfor enhanced communication and interactions on SMPs makes it necessary to integrate onlinesocial networks into the classroom in a more accessible way, thus enhancing the traditionallearning environment [23, 29]. Mentoring in an online setting poses many difficulties eventhough online engagement offers different expected benefits. The potential interference ofincluding SMPs in the classroom is one of the main issues [30]. Another study exhibited thatover thirty

In The Engineer of 2020: Visions ofEngineering in the New Century [9], the National Academy of Engineering stresses thatcreativity is an essential quality of engineers that should be embraced and cultivated. Despite theincreasing calls for engineering education to engage students in curriculums that foster creativity[7], [10]-[13], engineering education does not place a strong emphasis on the development ofcreative skills and instances of explicit creativity instruction are scarce [14]-[16].In undergraduate engineering education, learning environments have been criticized for blockingcreativity due to their rigid instruction [17], outcomes-based course structure [18], lack ofacceptance of risky behavior [15], and inability to

Above all, weencourage facilitators of CS support programs and educational settings to remain strategic in thedesign of curriculums and environments.

STUDENT RETENTION AND SATISFACTION IN COMPUTER SCIENCE SERVICE COURSES WHEN USING COMPETENCY-BASED GRADING AND ASSIGNMENT CHOICEAbstractEnrollment in introductory engineering courses, for non-Computer Science majors, often evokesapprehension, particularly when faced with the prospect of learning programming. The presenceof peers with prior coding experience can further compound these concerns. This study,applicable to a broad spectrum of engineering service courses, centers on student assignmentchoice within an undergraduate CS-1 curriculum. Guided by Self Determination Theory, weimplement assignment choice as a mechanism for students to chart a tailored path, selectingassignments aligned with course

This workshop aimed to update and redesign the curriculum for upper elementary ML summer workshops with feedback from experienced educators. Five participants, all K-12 teachers specializing in STEM or gifted education, actively engaged in the collaborative design process. The overarching goals of the workshop were threefold: first, to gather reflections on the previous summer workshop from the teachers' perspective; second, to facilitate an exploration and understanding of emerging ML technology toolkits; and third, to

(ST7) I had this one course in my winter semester where I felt the lecture style was very unique, but also effective. So instead of it being kind of like a blackboard and chalk, the professor talks at you for an hour. It was more like we had five minutes of lecture time where the professor would talk about new content. And then he'd give us like five minutes of group work where we would sit in a table of like four or five and work on

students’ higher educationexperience. Tinto asserts that student retention is not a random occurrence; it can be predictedbased on the attribution of academic and social interactions. The model emphasizes that astudent’s experiences academically and socially with an institution influence their commitmentlevel, directly predicting retention. Figure 1 illustrates the significance of academic and socialintegration in the model. Tinto contends that varying levels of integration contribute to astudent’s decision to drop out. The model proposes that intentionally designing social andcurriculum integration throughout students’ college experiences positively influences retention.Social integration is measured through interactions with peers, institutional
