In most problems, many of theSeven C’s will play a role, though perhaps not all of them at once.In addition to providing a framework for organizing new knowledge and skills, the structure andvocabulary of the Seven C’s can be used to identify specific areas of learning strength andweakness.

. However, due to alack of emphasis on Computer Science, current instructors are not adequately equipped to teach suchcourses. Creating engaging lesson plans requires a comprehensive understanding of Computer Sciencetopics. Crucial to the success of legislative efforts like SF29, training K-12 teachers to understand theseconcepts and teach them effectively necessitates appropriate outreach from experienced institutions. Given the widespread use of technology, students have a basic understanding of Computer Science,but need refined programming skills to leverage this technology in their future professions. Waitingfor higher education to expose students to these concepts inhibits their potential and stunts theiracademic growth. Our summer outreach

Competency-Based Education“Competency-based education (CBE) is an outcome-based, student-centered form ofinstruction whereby students progress to more advanced work upon mastering the necessaryprerequisite content and skills [11].” Although CBE is not new, it has increasingly beenreceiving much attention as a method for reaching a more diverse and inclusive studentpopulation. Scholtz and colleagues [12] shared results from an intervention conducted in aninformation systems degree program which incorporated competencies based on enterpriseresource planning (ERP) systems. They found that students perceived satisfaction with thehands-on approach and there was an increase in student self-efficacy related to ERP systemsand concepts. Mojab et al [13

The experiences of investigating, planning, building, testing, and refining bring learning beyond linguistic barriers. There are many points of entry in a unit of study. The learning in a unit involving engineering moves beyond simple labeling and completing sentence frames. It is dynamic learning and often can be used to reach a student at their exact language acquisition level.
