Kang, Jin; Girouard, Audrey – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2022
Objectives: Internships can bring a host of professional and academic benefits to students. Then, how do User Experience (UX) internships influence Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) graduate students' professional and academic growth? What are the challenges experienced by HCI graduate students during internships? We explored these two research…

Minnes, Mia; Serslev, Sheena Ghanbari; Padilla, Omar – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2021
Summer internships present an opportunity for Computer Science (CS) students to expand and test their skills in "the real world." These multi-faceted experiences call on students to use technical tools and critical thinking in collaboration with others to solve problems. There are many opportunities for learning and growth: which of…

Conn, Paula; Gotfrid, Taylor; Zhao, Qiwen; Celestine, Rachel; Mande, Vaishnavi; Shinohara, Kristen; Ludi, Stephanie; Huenerfauth, Matt – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2020
We investigate the degree to which undergraduate computing students in a United States university consider accessibility several years after instruction. Prior work has found that cultural and ethical norms become ingrained early in STEM professionals' careers; so, we focus on students approaching graduation and after an internship experience, who…
