ENGG 233 is a required first-year technical course that introduces foundationalconcepts in programming and software engineering to all students, regardless of their intendedprogram.In 2015, ENGG 233 was redesigned to focus on algorithmic thinking through exploratory andapplied learning, as opposed to syntax-focused programming education [Pears, 2007]. Thisresulted in a course format similar to ENGG 200.Both courses have a significant regular laboratory component, where students are given theopportunity to collaborate with peers and receive coaching from instructors and teachingassistants. In these laboratory sessions, students work on exploratory exercises and larger design-based projects. This interactive
