The ability to receive immediateresponses to coding exercises or project submissions can significantly enhance a student'sunderstanding and retention of complex programming principles. This is supported by Eom'sresearch, which suggests that early engagement in online courses, characterized by timelyinteractions with course materials and peers, positively correlates with academic performance[3]. Learning analytics tools can further facilitate this process by providing educators withinsights into student behaviors and engagement levels, allowing for timely interventions whennecessary [4].In

Ideally, stipends for students would be madeavailable to insure the student’s ongoing commitment to the teacher and school they work with.In addition, managing the relationship, from initial contact to oversight and problem resolution,is a role that could be served by the university’s outreach department. It would also be theresponsibility of the university to develop low cost lessons and material lists, to have the greatestchance of the effort being reused. Dissemination of the output of the partnerships is also crucialto maximize the effort.

. That is, regardless of the type of industry (i.e., manufacturing orservice), some energy usage is almost always required, and an environmental impact is mostlikely to occur throughout the production cycle (e.g., raw material consumption, waste, air/waterpollution, etc.). Hence, equipping students with necessary skill sets that will enable them toanalyze, build, and improve such complex systems is important to ensure that they can meetthese new industry needs. Due to the wide range of engineering disciplines, relevant topics mayonly be optional for many students’ educations. Therefore, relying on environmentalsustainability related major and/or courses alone might not be sufficient to satisfy this need. Thislimitation can easily be overcome by
