Results indicate thatstudents were motivated to minor in Applied Computing by a desire to improve their dataanalysis skills and better prepare themselves for the job market / graduate school, as well as abelief that programming is a necessary skill for the future. A large majority of students indicatedthat their peers, instructors, and homework assignments supported their learning very well,whereas they found topics covered and course projects to be less supportive, followed by pacingof course content.

Participation enables students to foster innovative ideas and apply them to real-world scenarios [1]. Students can develop leadership qualities by navigating a technical andinnovative ecosystem, like an ICP, that provides practice opportunities [2]. The success of ICPsrelies on the effective implementation of best practices by their organizers and coordinators. Anorganizer must keep the best interests of their participants in mind when planning, running, andexecuting these competitions and programs [3].

For these events (Open House, De-stress Fest, etc.), the EngineeringLibrary acts as a satellite location, with much of the planning and direction coming down fromthe University Libraries' Outreach Coordinator.

. Our analysis of these failures showed two majorproblems. First, students do not have experience with how things are made. So, they areunable to produce the detailed designs required by a waterfall planning scheme. Second,they are afraid to start building subsystems, so they delay building until the last moment.This leaves student teams without time to fix failures, revise their plans, and integrate com-ponents. So, we chose to utilize an agile project management technique used extensively inthe software industry. We implemented a variant of scrum project planning, which is basedon starting with a top-level design, start to build subsystems for that design, and modifyyour design as you learn. It is a structured and supervised try–fail–fix

The country has an estimated annualGDP per capita of USD 5293. However, it is worth noting that from 1980-1990 Namibia had aGDP per capita which was higher than that of both China and Thailand. But, over the interveningtime both countries’ rate of economic growth have greatly exceeded Namibia’s and, as a result,Namibia’s GDP per capita ratio is currently much smaller than either of those two countries(National Planning Commission, 2012).Despite this disparity in economic growth rates, the country is slowly emerging from thecompounding
