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…

Drachova, Svetlana V.; Hallstrom, Jason O.; Hollingsworth, Joseph E.; Krone, Joan; Pak, Rich; Sitaraman, Murali – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2015
Undergraduate computer science students need to learn analytical reasoning skills to develop high-quality software and to understand why the software they develop works as specified. To accomplish this central educational objective, this article describes a systematic process of introducing reasoning skills into the curriculum and assessing how…

Ellis, Heidi J. C.; Hislop, Gregory W.; Jackson, Stoney; Postner, Lori – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2015
Providing students with the professional, communication, and technical skills necessary to contribute to an ongoing software project is critical, yet often difficult in higher education. Involving student teams in real-world projects developed by professional software engineers for actual users is invaluable. Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)…

Yuen, Timothy T.; Robbins, Kay A. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2014
Critical thinking, problem solving, the use of tools, and the ability to consume and analyze information are important skills for the 21st century workforce. This article presents a qualitative case study that follows five undergraduate biology majors in a computer science course (CS0). This CS0 course teaches programming within a data-driven…

Hundhausen, Christopher D.; Agrawal, Anukrati; Agarwal, Pawan – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2013
Given the increasing importance of soft skills in the computing profession, there is good reason to provide students withmore opportunities to learn and practice those skills in undergraduate computing courses. Toward that end, we have developed an active learning approach for computing education called the "Pedagogical Code Review"…
