The last option will be harder to implement at our program, as it wouldrequire elimination of another core course in the existing curriculum. We believe that parallelismand concurrency are fundamental topics in computer engineering and should permeate thecurriculum. By adding the concepts slowly as modules to existing courses, we hope to encourageand motivate more students to pursue parallel and distributive computing in the senior level andchoose it as a future career. In 2019, we obtained an internal grant from the college to helpfacilitate our efforts. The remaining of the paper

The report highlightsthat remediation courses designed with the intent to help students succeed are, in fact, morelikely to prevent students from matriculating into college level courses, in part due to theadditional time and costs associated with taking the courses.
