leaders have called for incorporating thedevelopment of professional skills, like problem-solving for open-ended engineering designproblems, across all the different engineering courses. Following such a call, I, the author of thispaper, incorporated an engineering design project into the Computer Programming for Engineerscourse taught at University of Florida for two semesters, hoping that such instructionalintervention positively impacts students' problem-solving skills.2. Frameworks2.1 Conceptual Framework2.1.1 Social Problem-solvingThere are many ways in which literature has defined problem-solving; still, assessment tools formeasuring such skills are scarce. In this study, I used a model developed by D'Zurilla et al. [1] inwhich their team

Feedback indicatespositive perceptions of low code. 1. Introduction In recent years, the intersection of technology and education has undergone a profound transformation, withemerging paradigms reshaping traditional approaches to teaching and learning. One such paradigm that hasgarnered increasing attention is low-code development—a revolutionary approach to software creation thatempowers individuals, regardless of their technical background, to design and deploy fully functional applicationswith minimal coding expertise.

By seamlessly integrating VS Code, known as a rich text editor, with a selection of extensions, our aim is to streamline the learning process for students by enabling it to function as an IDE. We perform an experimental evaluation of students' programming experience of using VS Code and validate the VS Code together with guidance as a promising solution for CS1 programming courses. 1.

programming language has long been a staple in college computing education. AlthoughJava and Python are popular languages, C is still a top programming language of instruction [1], [2].Even if the introductory courses are taught in other languages, many programs still provide coursesthat teach the languages, typically in systems programming courses or operating systemcourses [3]–[5].However, unlike Java or Python where there is a single authorative compiler, C programming issupported by many compilers, editors, and other tools. In addition, installing a C developmentenvironment has traditionally been challenging for Windows systems. As a result, some institutionsopt for installing the C development environment in a server and have the students

-Computer Science (non-CS) major students. This demand is more paramount as many studentsmay not have been introduced to fundamentals of programming in high schools. According to anational survey, only 53% of high schools offer computer science courses. The scarcity of theavailability of courses at high school level results in more difficulties, and no prior computerprogramming experience. For such students the deficit in base continues to grow in college withtwo important facets: 1) such students are reluctant to pursue engineering and computing majorsand 2) these students find typical college programming courses more challenging and harder thanmany others who took programming in their high school, leaving them behind in courses.Considering

Students constructed this windmill and used Arduino programming tointerpret sensor data and calculate system performance. Project 2 took place during the 2022summer semester and was comprised of a water filtration system. In this project, students utilizedthe Arduino to both observe system information and control its behavior.At the end of each of these semesters, students took a survey in which they provided theirperceptions of the programming instruction they received, in addition to expressing theirconfidence in programming.

We discussed these differences and how they can be used toguide meaningful interventions that focus on megacognitive skills in computing education.1 IntroductionA deep understanding of the difference between students who had experience in programmingand those who had no prior experience can help instructors make informed decisions in how toteach both groups in the same course more effectively. As more students are exposed toprogramming in high school, it is increasingly likely for an introductory programming course tohave both students who had experience in programming and those who had no prior experience.Undoubtedly, students with no prior experience in

The essential idea, which derives from Carroll [2], is that variations in aptitudedo not imply differences in the capacity to master the material, only to differences in the timerequired to achieve mastery. Mastery learning is therefore closely linked to self-pacedinstruction.A review of prior work on mastery learning in computer science education is given in [3

Students were asked to respond to questions about their per-ceived comfort in the classroom, perceived isolation, and perceived support from course staff andother students. We note that the whole class’s sense of belonging statistically increases from thebeginning to the end of the semester in both sections. Furthermore, the increased sense of belong-ing is more pronounced in the in-person section. Based on our findings, we conclude that onlinesections for on-campus students may be an effective way to accommodate large class sizes, in-creased enrollment pressure, and students’ need for flexibility, while not disadvantaging students’learning outcomes.1
