In such cases, the next typical question is “how can this experience be recreated sothat this type of collaboration can be achieved between the librarian and other faculty?” At theoutset, it’s important to note that it was crucial for the librarian to be viewed by the faculty

ENG6 is a required lower division course that teaches basic programmingconcepts to electrical, biomedical, mechanical, aeronautical, and civil engineering students.Because computer science and computer engineering students are not required to take thiscourse, most students have little familiarity with programming. Some are also not motivated tomaster programming concepts, since they view software design as being outside the corecompetencies required for their chosen disciplines.

Papers have beenwritten on how some software engineering techniques, such as pair programming, can helpincrease retention, particularly of female students7, 8.This paper suggests that other software engineering practices can be used to help increase thesuccess rates in lower division courses, which should translate into increased retention rates. Inparticular, use of detailed work plans and periodically monitored time logs and version controlcheck-ins is examined. The underlying assumption is that students need to be encouraged to startprograms early
