automated approaches will be desirable for this andsimilar tasks. It may be the case that curriculum development remains the province of humans forthe foreseeable future. Or, perhaps future advances in AI – including ensemble models [19]and/or retrieval augmented generation [20] – may prove more adept at curriculum developmenttasks.6 AcknowledgmentsThis project is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under Grant No. 2311746.Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are thoseof the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the NSF.References [1] Chenglei Si, Diyi Yang, and Tatsunori Hashimoto.

, advising, and success coaching. Given the extremely low 4-yeargraduation rate for students who start their academic careers in pre-calculus, there is also clear support fordevelopment of 5-year curriculum plans for this group of students, which at UK PCOE makes up about one-fourth of the overall incoming freshman class each year, and nearly 35% of URM and first-generationstudents. Finally, the indicators from Table 13 can be used for early identification of students who may havea higher chance of academic success in fields outside of engineering, to make sure they are either fullycommitted to pursuing an academic career in engineering or provided with good information for consideringalternative career directions.References[1] U.

For example, one team member stated I enjoy [talking with team members]...I love to hear about [this colleague] and their kid going to college and [this colleague] getting married. I truly enjoy that, and so, yes, there is value. And [the check-ins] have certainly helped, to some extent, my belonging.Edmonson [4]’s work suggests that forming strong, healthy interpersonal relationships isfoundational for building trust among work teams.

improvement occurred within a single class period is particularly remarkable.A similar trend was observed for the “Complexity” and “Basic ADTs” topics, where students hadno prior exposure to the material. The Datastorm challenges were instrumental in helpingstudents master these concepts, as they were specifically designed to evaluate them.Teaching styles and instructional durations varied significantly across the three sections. Forexample, the instructor of Section 1 relied heavily on in-class Java programming to drivetheoretical discussions, while Section 2’s instructor used visualizations to explain the sameconcepts. In contrast, Section 3’s instructor favored traditional theoretical discussionssupplemented with pseudocode examples.Additionally

In India, where manyengineering students specialize in software development, C++ is taught alongside data structuresand algorithms, helping students build strong computational problem-solving skills applicable toengineering simulations [4]. These examples highlight C++’s continued relevance across globalengineering disciplines and how this course can be tailored to regional industry needs.In a globalized engineering environment, critical thinking and adaptable problem-solvingstrategies are

[8] who found thatdifferent languages as well as different paradigms (objects-first, objects in the CS1 course, no objects in the CS1 course)had no appreciable effect on CS2 performance. As to this paper, my finding is that it is significantly beneficial to havemore than one programming language in the CS2 data structures course. Using more than one programming language has been more commonly tried in CS1 courses ([9], [10]) indicatingdefinite benefits such as enabling students to focus better on computational thinking and computational problem solvingthen getting too caught up in syntax. Two programming languages have specifically been used by Ham et
1 StudentsAs shown in Table 5, 15 of the 31 responses included at least one code from both Planning andImplementation. This result demonstrates that a significant percentage of students understandthat the definition of design is not limited to one stage of the process. The capstone students inthis population are near graduation and have had previous design experiences, which Chong etal. [5] argued is vital to understanding the complexity of design. The frequency of the inclusionof both codes and the more detailed responses than Chong et al.’s [5] data corroborates thefinding that students are finishing their programs with a better understanding of engineeringdesign than when they began the program.Nine students’ responses were focused on
communication, and effective taskdelegation. The successes achieved, including influential publications and enhanced researchquality, demonstrate the potential of such collaborations to advance knowledge and tacklecomplex problems.Future projects should build on these lessons by promoting interdisciplinary understanding,addressing structural barriers, and incorporating flexibility in project planning. Academicinstitutions can continue to achieve innovative solutions and advancements in various fields byfostering a collaborative environment that values diverse perspectives and approaches.References[1] L.
