When done as part of the unit, thedesign challenge typically spans 4 days, but it also works as a 1-day stand-alone design task.

While the Career Services presentation was perceivedas being extremely/very useful by most students, students were not as satisfied with workshops focused on general study skillsand time management. In the future we plan to rework these sessions to include a clearer connection to the CS major. A majority of the students were extremely satisfied with the organized social events with student leaders from Women inTech and the Diversity in Computing (Diversineers) student groups in our department. The Faculty Scavenger Hunt was alsorated highly by students. Figure 4 shows student feedback on those events.

An innovative plan must be developed to assurethat the number of students enrolled in surrounding for-credit Tech Ed programs increases, andthat increasing retention and graduation rates is a priority [3].

the observer would get thelecturer’s lesson plan before class and then randomly sit behind a group of 10 students inclass, recording how many of them were engaged, disengaged, or of uncertain engagement.The observation is recorded for any major content change or every 2 minutes, and notes arewritten on every page of the lesson plan. Therefore, the instructor can relate the studentengagement data to the lecture content after class. To refine the student behavior categoriessuggested by the BERI protocol, we did some pilot observations based on the suggestedbehavior set. We decided to add some course-specific behaviors such as “collaborative work,”“device use,” and “presenting.” We then used the expanded behavior pool in the formalobservations
