students will be selected across the in-person and online ASU software engineering students who are currently in or have alreadycompleted their capstone course. Having both in-person and online students account fordifferences that could be present in the software engineering bachelor’s program.Finally, innovations continue to change the face of technology, and engineers must rise to meetthat challenge. This work opens a conversation on how to support student development outsidethe classroom. Not all classrooms have the opportunity or freedom to teach adaptive expertise tostudents. Faculty are already working to develop students into adaptive experts, but non-classroom experiences may provide a supplemental benefit toward this goal.ReferencesASU

as new evidence-based approaches toteaching become more widespread in the STEM community. Although many of these techniqueshave been gaining traction in most STEM disciplines [1, 2], the rate of adoption in the areas ofComputer Science (CS), Information Technology (IT), and Software Engineering (SE) is less thanexpected [3]. The increasing number of students entering undergraduate programs in CS/IT/SE[4] requires that the introduction of these evidence-based approaches be adopted at a faster rate.This is particularly true for students entering SE programs given that the effective developmentof software applications requires the use of a wide range of skills, including both technical andnon-technical skills [5, 6]. The technical skills needed

the graduate level.Keywords: software engineering, instructional technology, mentoring, independent study,teaching assistants1. The concept of a course “ecosystem”A conventional way to look at a course is as a piece of a curriculum. It has certain learningobjectives, and if students have achieved them by the end of the academic term, then the coursecan be considered a success. However, there is another, more active, way to view a course: acourse is an opportunity to direct students in their learning. This is a more powerful perspective,because it suggests that students learn by doing, not necessarily following the same path as otherstudents. Also, by following different paths, students can make their own contribution to theinstructor’s
