quick. At San José State University (SJSU), students and faculty were given lessthan one week to prepare to teach and take classes remotely. Most faculty at SJSU had nevertaught online before this dramatic shift in March 2020 and both faculty and students werechallenged to finish the semester. Most SJSU engineering classes are offered in the traditionalface-to-face mode with in-person laboratories and project classes. Because of COVID-19, allSJSU classes, including those in the College of Engineering, went to a remote mode.The object of this study was to determine the impact of the sudden move to remote learning onengineering students at SJSU through a survey and interviews. By supplementing the surveyswith interviews of students, this study

The coding interviews provided an opportunity for each student to meetindividually with a Teaching Assistant (TA) or Instructor to discuss the core programmingconcepts of the course in the context of code that the student wrote for a previous assignment.The TAs were trained to keep the interviews as an informal discussion focused on the codingconstructs implemented in the student’s code with primary goals as follows: • To ensure each student is developing fundamental programming skills and to flag those

recruiting students.Workshop SessionsAs mentioned in the introduction, the pedagogical techniques employed in all of the workshopsare active-learning student-centered methods. Session contents are determined by the instructorsbased on what they determine is most effective to introduce their topics and disciplines. Sessionsnormally include lecture presentations followed by activities that teach the concepts throughdemonstration or experiment that the students perform themselves. The session descriptionsbelow are reflections of the 2023 workshop. A particularly important component of the programthat makes this possible is the inclusion of teaching assistants that are current undergraduatestudents. These teaching assistants, close in age to the

Despite thisfact, few universities count computer science (CS) classes toward the core curriculum. Ouruniversity, a Hispanic- and minority-serving research-intensive university located in theAmerican Southwest, recently began counting CS towards fulfilling the laboratory sciencerequirement in the

To accomplish this, it is often necessary to seekfurther funding to continue work towards institutionalization of program components beyond theinitial support period. This case study
