redesigns, both to thiscourse and to other courses in our computing curriculum.IntroductionMuch work in computing education research has studied introductory programming or computerscience courses in undergraduate education, with the literature being extensive enough thatreviews consider hundreds or even thousands of published papers [1, 2]. Though programming istaught in many STEM disciplines, these introductory courses are often taught within computerscience and thus are typically referred to as CS1 [3]. Topics covered in a typical CS 1 courseinclude types, control flow, basic data structures (e.g., arrays), foundational problems andalgorithms (e.g., sorting), and simple recursion [4].CS1 courses are often seen as the entry point to computing

ongoing work in developing and evaluating the effectiveness ofthe new robotics programming course.Literature ReviewThere are many K-12 initiatives involving robotics hardware and programming that encouragestudents to pursue STEM professions [1] - [2]. Additionally, there are undergraduate-levelcourses in robotics [3] – [7] typically designed to enhance motivation for students majoring inSTEM professions. Barba et al. [8] present the design of two graduate courses for non-majors,adult learners, and non-traditional students. The courses use Pixelsense and Arduino to teachcomputational thinking, programming, and design skills. The authors specifically mention theimportance of platform choice, assignment structure, maintaining student motivation, and

A total of 107 students applied to participate and 33students were interviewed. In the end, ten upper-level students majoring in computer sciencewere selected for the program (as shown in Table 1), and each student received a $2,500fellowship to lessen financial burdens. A technology company provided student fellowships.Students were required to participate during Spring 2023 (16 weeks) and commit approximately8-10 hours a week. Student teams were mentored by two faculty members to ensure that studentsreceived a quality learning experience.Table 1

A third course extended this form of learning with additional criticalinquiry activities to elevate internalization of agile principles and develop an agile mindset. Acustom survey was employed and analyzed the results using standard descriptive and inferentialstatistics to investigate the outcomes.IntroductionWorking in an agile setting demands more than just pure software engineering skills. These skillsare non-technical and social, often related to communication, collaboration, and understanding ofthe broader goal of the business [1][2]. These skills are often scarce among software engineers,and that is why roles such as Scrum

CompetencyAbstractComputing systems face diverse and substantial cybersecurity threats. To mitigate thesecybersecurity threats while developing software, engineers need to be competent in the skill ofthreat modeling. In industry and academia, there are many frameworks for teaching threatmodeling, but our analysis of these frameworks suggests that (1) these approaches tend to befocused on component-level analysis rather than educating students to reason holistically about asystem’s cybersecurity, and (2) there is no rubric for assessing a student’s threat modelingcompetency. To address these concerns, we propose using systems thinking in conjunction withpopular and industry-standard threat modeling frameworks like STRIDE for teaching andassessing threat modeling

With all of this research, Ni and colleagues notedthat for this effort to “have real impact on teaching practices, we eventually need computinginstructors to adopt those innovations and integrate them into their own classrooms” [1, p. 544].Recent efforts, such as the Evidence-Based Teaching Practices in CS SIGCSE Workshop [2],have tried to bridge this gap between published innovations and their adoption in the classroom.Morrison et al.

Engineering concepts began to trickle down into theundergraduate curriculums, typically in the Computer Science or Computer Engineering areas. In 1995,ISO/IEC 12207 [1] was published, providing a baseline for the discipline. The concept of a softwareengineering major was first put forth in 1997 [2]. Work then began on a set of guidelines for thedevelopment of an undergraduate curriculum [3].In 1996, Rochester Institute of Technology admitted the first students into its program [4], which thenled in 2001 to the first programs receiving ABET accreditation using the program criterion of Figure 1. Aswould be expected, evolution within the discipline continued, including the publication of the first bookof knowledge for software engineering (SWEBOK) in

RQ1(a): Do students in an introductory software engineering course, working in pairs, distribute work equally? RQ1(b): Can we use measurements based on git logs to assess each team member’s work contribution? How is this measurement correlated with the amount

In that time, electric taxiswere used in cities like New York and London. However, the mass production of affordablegasoline vehicles, such as the Ford Model T, along with the expansion of fuel infrastructure, ledto the decline of EVs by the 1920s [3].
