, or support graduate students, it was examined carefully to determinewhether it was in fact accurate to call it a bridge program. The term “bridge” was interpreted in afairly broad sense, with the key characteristic being that such a program was designed to helpstudents who were not as well prepared for their program as their peers to bridge that gap, suchthat they were prepared to be successful. One definition that could be used would be that a bridgeprogram is one that is not part of a degree program’s standard curriculum, is designed to preparestudents academically and otherwise for success in that curriculum, and enrolls a cohort ofstudents in the program. By this definition, papers such as [6] were quite ambiguous, as the focusin this

]. In Computer Science (CS), studentsoften don’t see how their “systems” classes, like Computer Organization, fit in with theirprogramming classes. This results in decreased engagement with course content, whichundermines student learning. Reflective writing is a pedagogical strategy introduced by Dewey[2] and extended by Schon [3] that has been found to increase critical thinking in students byallowing them to analyze their experiences for better understanding. Moon’s [4] theory oflearning and reflection in undergraduate education explores reflection as a way to guide a studentfrom surface learning (memorizing facts) to deep learning (integrated ideas and a holisticview)[4]. Reflection that promotes deep learning can help CS students realize

Our HyFlex SQA approach consists of lectures (in class, with video recordings), face-to-face activities, as well as group assignments, group projects, and exams all facilitated through anonline campus management system. During the lecture period, the instructor delivers content inthe form of lecture slides and writing on a whiteboard. This poses significant challenges for theinstructor, as the learning outcomes have to be delivered in different modalities, but with the samequality. This is particularly difficult in SQA courses, as these require instruction in formal methodsas well as systematic justification of engineering

development. Here, it is important to remember that theentrepreneurial mindset focuses on one’s mental attitude and belief system, which is acquired andnurtured over time with continued practice, reflection and feedback. As explained by Carol S.Dweck, a change in mindset requires effort, practice, and challenging tasks [7]. Regardless ofwhether it is the entrepreneurial mindset or the growth mindset, practice and more practice canchange one’s beliefs and attitudes, which in return can instill and reinforce the entrepreneurialmindset. Common methods for integrating practice, reflection, and feedback into the curriculumcan be through semester-long scaffold projects, journaling, peer feedback, and formativeassessments.#4: Curriculum Design for Best
