The program, once focused on producinggraduates for the general electronics and telecommunications industries, now has a strongemphasis on electronic product and system development. The primary reasons for this changeare two-fold. First, the United States has seen declining enrollments in engineering and technologydepartments over the past five years1 and this

Yet, CS majors can encounter programming as a barrier and in many casesleave the field altogether. The learning process that CS majors encounter while developing theirprogramming skills is multifaceted. They are expected to: 1) grasp necessary programmingconcepts, paradigms, and data structures, 2) become adept with employing the appropriate syntaxand semantics for a given programming language used for code
