four courses which are classified as writing intensive (WI). The first three are from non-technical general education classes and the fourth being their Capstone class. Upon taking MECH 340, students have taken at least two of these courses. For MECH 340, the formatting guidelines and rigorous standards were made explicitly and abundantly clear. That being said, the majority of students on the first assignment did not follow even the most basic formatting guidelines such as margins and font type. Even after being shown explicitly over Zoom “share-screen” how to adjust word formatting and Excel plots, many turned in results with default settings. In fact, the Zoom sessions were recorded, so all one needed to do was re-watch the video

As more of these initiatives areutilized, the progression of these students during and after college should be recorded in order tobetter understand how to prepare students.Another future work is increasing the general awareness of the technical interview processamongst institutional administrators and faculty. Aforementioned, there are CS courses designedto strictly train students for the technical interview process (referred to as Category 1). Likewise,there is a trend for these courses to be student-taught. This raises the question of how trulyengaged institutions and CS departments are when it comes to their students’ success

During the second CU Engineering and Applied Mathematics Summer Academy the applicant pool grew from 40 in the 2016 to 80 in the 2017.3. The academy’s focus on team building and other soft skills helped the students expand their understanding of the necessary skills for both professional and personal success.4.

This meant that aside from one scheduled meeting outside of classtimes, the students were strongly requested to meet several times over the length of the projectoutside of class times. This did not work as hoped. While some teams did meet, othersencountered difficulty finding times to meet as a full team or reported a breakdown incommunication.
