This course may introduce a second high level language and typically focuses on data structures and some algorithms. We call this CS Fundamentals II. 3. Object-oriented courses. About a third of the programs had a separate course in object- oriented programming. Many of those that did not have such a course had at least an introduction to OOP in the first two courses. 4. Algorithms. This course is sometimes taught as primarily a mathematics course and some programs teach it with very little programming. We nevertheless classified it

chances for employment upon graduation.With these beneficial outcomes for students in mind, why is it that single-discipline designcourses – particularly those for engineering capstone design, still prevail? Research offers longlaundry lists of difficulties associated with developing collaborative design coursework includingsystemic challenges (Behdinan, Pop-Iliev, & Foster (2014); Bannerot, Kastor, Ruchhoeft, &Terry (2004)). An 11-year review of the literature suggests that while providing students withauthentic interdisciplinary practice is important, the ability to model and teach ininterdisciplinary ways is lacking (Van den Beemt, MacLeod, Vander Veen, Van de Ven, van Baalen, Klaassen, & Boon, 2020).The hypothesis of Newell, Doty

assumed endpoint:within a healthy watershed, all members of the ecosystem grow, develop, and flourish. Ratherthan merely being “retained” as an individual within a (neutral) pipeline, a member of anecosystem is part of a group that thrives as an interdependent collective. Metrics for the health ofan ecosystem will naturally incorporate intersectionality and complexity beyond traditionalrecruitment & retention data [12].However, despite these positive shifts from the limits of the lockstep “pipeline” to the morecapacious and humane “ecosystem,” metaphors about fostering persistence and thriving are, as arule, largely confined to the realms of STEM. They invoke STEM classrooms and laboratories,STEM communities and STEM processes (the pipelines

A lack ofemphasis on selecting PIs who are well-equipped to lead supportive and diverse laboratories cou-pled with a lack of diversity in the researcher and PI populations frequently leads to an unhealthywork environment that Black PhD students have the burden of navigating throughout their entiredoctoral program. We hope that sharing our experiences will serve as a reference point in the refor-mation of the graduate engineering education system.

REU’s typically mirror the laboratory experience of advanced level graduates,with undergraduates working closely with graduate student mentors and situating knowledge inauthentic and novel research projects over a six-to-10-week summer program, as opposed tohighly structured classroom-style learning models. Historically, many REU’s heap theresponsibility of leading inexperienced undergraduates in learning and integrating into a newfield onto postdoctoral or graduate student mentors who often have “little preparation, support

A study alsoshows that depth of experiential learning, as indicated by the amount of time committed to thoseactivities, correlates positively with cognitive gains, while breadth, as indicated by the number ofactivities that a student engages in, is associated with improved teamwork skills [6]. Inparticular, the number of internships that an undergraduate has is a major predictor of initialcareer outcomes [4].Experiential learning is increasingly considered a critical component of higher education,complementing more traditional forms of classroom and laboratory instruction.
