The horizontal green segmented rectangle is thelist which moves from right to left on each iteration so that a single list item becomes the value ofthe iteration variable (”price” in this example).

We hope that the analysis and reflections on our initial offeringshas improved our understanding of these challenges, and how we may address them whendesigning future data science teaching modules. These are the first steps in a design-basedapproach to developing data science modules that may be offered across multiple courses.1. Introduction As technology advances, familiarity and expertise in data-driven analysis is becoming anecessity for jobs across many disciplines. Data science is an emerging field that encompasses alarge array of topics including data collection, data preprocessing, data quality, data visualization,and data analysis using statistical and machine learning methods.

Finally, we wanted to know howprevalent these declining engagement trends were on campus and what, if any, steps could betaken to improve them. This paper focuses on focus groups held with undergraduate women inengineering students, and contextual interviews held with other campus programs, clubs andorganizations. First, we present a summary of what we learned about this new cohort of studentsas well as the key survey findings that informed

This paper explores the number and value of these interactions byevaluating the winning design proposals.Statistics are used to analyze trends in the winning design proposals which may reflect theimportance of number of the experts contacted by student teams and their demographics. Thewinning design proposals contain written sections that discuss the team’s reported benefits oftheir interactions with industry experts. Thematic analysis is used to identify themes for designproposals from first, second, and third place teams. The paper presents a study of

for women in science expanded but gendersegregation still existed. In the nineteenth century, women participated in aspects of science butmainly engaged in data-gathering rather than idea-creation [26] and were largely invisible andconcentrated in nurturing career tracks [39]. Prior to the 20th century and beyond, womensupported science but not pioneers in the field; reflective of the patriarchal society they lived in.Commonly known as biological determinism, the physical, psychological, and intellectual natureof women prohibited them from producing great science [38]. The Nineteenth and earlyTwentieth centuries posited if women were incorporated into scientific employment, they weresegregated in it with stereotypes of appropriate sex roles

futureprojects after receiving their feedback from CP 1.The decrease in scores for CP 3 can be attributed to the type of project it is compared to the other projectsin the course. It is the truss analysis program that introduces some linear algebra concepts that studentshave not had much exposure to, and the code theory does not follow the same method as handcalculations for trusses. Also, the route for verification and exploration is more open-ended than the otherprojects (at least that is how students view it) and this is reflected in their overall scores. The value of thisproject, however, can be built upon in future courses for more complex system analysis and often studentsreflect on this project as they get into those upper-division classes.There

This heuristic reflects a Black Feminist epistemology, not only because it is builtin pursuit of an ethic of care but also because it invests in knowledge-making in action. ForBlack Feminist theorists, this means that the experiential knowing that occurs in situ establishesthe basis for relationships. Importantly, we use a heuristic because there is no one-size-fits allapproach to activist work or to establishing ally, advocate or accomplice relationships. Yet

thinkers, students learn that the process of coming up with something new involves many trials, errors and mistakes and even failure. However, students learn that occasional failure and mistakes are part of the creative and innovative processes rather than a discouragement to an adventurous spirit. They learn to reflect on and to evaluate their experiences and to work with others to improve on those experiences, so as to come up with better or new ways of doing things.” [8]Typically, learning outcomes are used to describe knowledge and skill competencies thatstudents should attain from their learning. In innovation pedagogy learning outcomes are termed“innovation competencies” and are organized into three categories: “1) individual
