effective way for educators to battle this challenge. This paper describes a tool,SHAvisual, which addresses this issue for the secure hash algorithm (SHA). SHA is a family ofcryptographic hash functions that the National Institute of Standards and Technology beganpublishing in the early 1960’s. SHAvisual is designed to help students learn and instructorsteach the SHA-512 algorithm. It consists of three major components: Demo Mode, PracticeMode and Full Mode. A separate global view window helps highlight the current procedure inthe algorithm pipeline. The Demo Mode provides a simplified SHA-512 visualization and isuseful for the instructor to demonstrate important operations in the classroom. The PracticeMode is designed for students to learn the

Literature across fields confirms several ways in which criticalconsciousness is defined and operationalized. This section reviews the work of scholars frompsychology (e.g., Diemer and Montero), social work (i.e

This dyad served as a pilot test for the study, and resulted in severalminor modifications to the protocol for the other participants, including having each participanttell a user story for a concept they did not create.User StoryP1 initially told the user story for her own concept, taking on the perspective of a persona theywere provided in class—“Scarlett.” This persona was used to supply many of the contextualdetails included in the user stories, including Scarlett’s occupation, recent move, and love of theoutdoors. The entire user story took around ten minutes to tell, with P2 taking over telling theuser story after P1’s initial attempt in the first several minutes, suggesting: “Maybe this wouldwork better if we

EM13’s reflection on the significance of seeing the broader context,beyond mere problem-solving, underscores this point: “I think what gave me confidence ininnovation and entrepreneurship is understanding the bigger picture. It’s not just solving aproblem, but also trying to sell it to someone, having someone pay for it. […] Askingquestions like: what's the problem you're solving? Who are you solving it for? Why are thealternatives inferior, and why is now the right time to solve this? What’s the marketopportunity?”Expanding on this, integrating this big-picture perspective early in the learning process iscrucial for understanding the

[23]–[25].The value of fields external to traditional computing are explored through frameworks which canhelp orient one's praxis within computing. This includes frameworks for thinking about activism(i.e. praxis, intersectionality), interactions between technology and society (i.e. sociotechnicalsystems, technological determinism, and technological solutionism, and the New Jim Code [26]),and intervention (i.e. critical participation). By exploring alternative ways of orienting one'spraxis in computing, students are empowered to consider the central question of the module—from where do I want to frame my interventions and what could my conceptual framework(s) tolook like?The second module, titled “Inclusion as Intervention,” explores what it

However, withflourishment of global collaboration in various engineering classrooms and best educationalpractices being replicated across cultures, there are not many curriculum interventions thatoriginate from students’ diverse cultural needs. When cultural differences are ignored, studentsmay get culturally biased grades and face confusion and difficulties. For instance, the notion of“disruption” and “breakthrough” in product design innovation is
