Thesoftware studio is designed to enable a student with a non-technical background to make thetransition to the study of information science at a graduate level. Since its introduction in thespring of 1999, this course has been offered during each spring, summer, and fall semester. Asthis is a relatively new course, it is undergoing continuous incremental improvements based on in-class experience, student feedback and changes in the industry.I.

discusses the importance of teamwork in undergraduate education. As Teamwork is acritical skill that employers seek in new graduates, especially within STEM fields wherecollaboration is often essential. College students, particularly in STEM programs, are required towork in teams early on, allowing them to develop these skills and become competent teamplayers before entering the workforce. For computer science students, who often work in group-based learning environments, teamwork plays a vital role in fostering not only technical skillsbut also interpersonal and intercultural competencies. The main objective of this research is toexplore the relationship between three key variables: teamwork regulation, effectiveness, andtheir impact on the

Any overlap between courses reflects real life, so faculty must embrace how thoseoverlaps can be utilized to correlate Social Media homework for the benefit of the students. Amajor concern was that one student was registered for two of the courses at the same time, yetthe faculty decided to ask the student to conduct each course's deliverable separately.Integrating such innovative technological tools that are engaging to learners not only creates asense of appreciation and belonging but also provide real connections to the world.

Such methods include capstone projects which are designed to incorporatevarious aspects of the curricula. Another approach is through student internships wherebystudents spend some period in the industry to gain necessary practical experience as well asexposure to most recent technology and equipment in the industry. Internships are meant toprovide students with the opportunity to operate in real world environment. To qualify foracademic credit, student internships are usually supervised by at least one faculty member and asupervisor from the workplace. However, capstone
