computer science courses.Working with the English department, a linked spring section of ENGL 102 was created so that students could benefit froma linked course in their second semester. The instructors for this course can also adjust some topics to make some readingand assignments relate to technology and engineering.Spring Activities - Students often have academic difficulty in the first semester and can benefit from follow up interactionin their second semester. Realizing this, an additional course was created for spring. Rather than professionaldevelopment, this course had a focus on various engineering topics as requested by the twenty enrolled students. Studentquestions included: How does a computer work? How does the internet work? How does
