Five questions about thestudent experience in the current course and their plans for the next course were embedded into largersurveys administered in each of the participating courses. In this paper, we focus on student responses tothe following survey questions: “What are barriers that might prevent you from taking the next coursein this sequence?” and “What makes you feel good about your plans to take the next course in thissequence?” Each of the participating courses serves as a prerequisite course for at least one subsequentcourse (for example: Intro to CS I is a prerequisite for Intro to CS II).We address the

The difference between factors appears to be the way in which a generalized notionof diversity is viewed as related to demographic markers of diversity.DiscussionDiversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is ubiquitous in the current computer science higher educationclimate, yet definitions vary, as do perspectives regarding what forms of diversity are valued ineducational spaces.

Case study is a research method that ”...investigates a phenomenon (the ’case’) in depth andwithin its real-world context” [18, p.15]. Once the case has been defined, the researcher definesthe boundaries of the case. These boundaries provide a clear scope for the project and help theresearcher make decisions about what data to include [18].As Team X’s original plan was to use a case study methodology to study traditional, in

In addition, the taxonomy has a dimension exploring four types of knowledge: factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive. This taxonomy can greatly aid educators in clearly defining course goals to achieve desired learning outcomes, and it also helps align the expectations of students and educators for the learning experience in a course. Thus, Bloom’s taxonomy can also inform the assessment techniques that educators might use to evaluate whether students have truly grasped the planned learning goals. In fact, Bloom’s taxonomy has been applied in an ECE education context. Meda and

This person is the glue that holds the teams and their research together. 3. Team-based research. Projects work best, and the program scales best, when students work in teams. We have found that teams of between 2-4 students maximize the benefits of team-based work, while still making it feasible for students to find time to coordinate and work together. 4.

Student motivation has proven to be an efficient and reliable precursor to measure studentsuccess and persistence in STEM. Motivation is regarded as one of the most influential aspects ofsuccess [20], alongside sound technical knowledge in engineering.

However, notonly are problem-solving activities time consuming for students, they are also often difficult toassess beyond simply checking for correctness of the final answer. In addition, it is difficult in aclassroom setting to deliver useful feedback [1]. While popular online tutoring frameworks exist[2], [3] that support structures for mathematical problem solving and some
