Hands-on practice is an essential component in data science education, as it cannot only effectively enhance student understanding of fundamental concepts and techniqueslearned in class, but also, improve their capability of applying their learning to solve real worldproblems in various application domains 4,5 . Students are usually required to learn how toprogram (such as writing code in Python) before taking a data science course. This

– RecursionIn computing, there are two major programming techniques for solving problems: iteration andrecursion. In iteration, a problem is solved by repeatedly applying the same procedure until asolution is achieved. In recursion, a problem is solved by repeatedly reducing the problem intosmaller instances of the same problem and tackling each smaller problem. BCS 120 and BCS230 courses only teach the iteration technique, not the recursion technique. Only the studentsmajoring in the programming track in Computer Systems department will learn the recursiontechnique later in the curriculum in BCS 370 – Data Structures class. Recursion is a veryimportant concept and may not be easy-to-learn topic for some students; therefore we believethat there are

A rational approach to introductory computingis based on the real needs of students and professionals. These should be assessed throughsurvey, study and evaluation, and then used as the basis for curriculum design. We believe wehave done this.There have been tendencies across the US to go in one of two directions when it comes tointroductory computing for engineering students:1) The "tools" approach. Here, the focus is on the built-in capabilities of a number of software packages. Students solve a variety of engineering problems within the confines of the software’s menu options.
