From their standpoint, there appears to be adisparity between software and hardware, with CS students often lacking fundamental awarenessof the digital circuits that form the backbone of software operations. While courses in computerorganization and architecture are the most relevant in addressing hardware aspects, their primaryfocus tends to be on register-transfer level optimizations [1-3].To furnish CS students with a comprehensive understanding of computer systems from theground up, we offer a course that commences with the fundamentals of basic logic gates.

Previous research has investigated LAs’impacts on improving undergraduate courses and student outcomes [3]. Studies related to LAsand their impacts on social justice have focused on applying quantitative critical race theory toevaluate the impact of LAs on reducing learning gaps between dominant and historicallymarginalized students [4] and on classroom equity [5]. A greater understanding of LAs’conceptions of status and how they navigate dismantling status differences in the classroomwould support this work.This study utilized thematic analysis [6] to characterize how LAs construct the idea of statuswithin

An analysis of culminating ABETEngineering Accreditation Commission student outcomes is made with reference to Bloom’s 3learning domains and their learning levels. A hypothetical model is presented for this analysis. Thecorrelation of ABET student outcomes, course learning outcomes and performance indicators isclearly outlined. The necessity of the use of performance indicators is highlighted especially inreference to the measurement of course learning outcomes, development of assessments, teachingand learning activities. The importance of scientific constructive alignment of learning outcomes,performance indicators, assessments, teaching and learning strategies is
