Decimal to Binary Number Conversion can be Fun

Numbering systems are of great importance in Computer Science and Engineering education. The binary numbering system can be considered as one of the most fundamental, since its understanding is essential for the understanding of other Computer Science and Engineering concepts, such as data representation, data storage, computer architecture, networking, and many more. Yet, students are having difficulties understanding it. One approach which has been shown to improve learning of different science and mathematics concepts is the use of educational games. Educational games have the potential to engage and motivate learners through fun activities. This paper presents a small exploratory survey on an electronic educational game for practicing decimal to binary number conversions

Emotional Experiences of Black U.S. Computer Science and Engineering Students Amid Faculty-Student Interactions

Black students encounter unique challenges in computer science and engineering education. Chief among these is a disconnect with faculty due to a lack of mentorship and difficulties in interactions with faculty. Despite these challenges, Black students bring many engineering and computer science assets. This study aims to understand the emotional experiences of Black students in computer science and engineering education. We present an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to answer the questions: (1) How do Black students experience faculty-student interactions in computer science and engineering education? (2) How do Black students experience professional shame in these interactions? To answer these research questions, I conducted and transcribed unstructured interviews with five Black participants in an engineering or computer science undergraduate program to answer these research questions. The transcripts of these interviews were analyzed according to the standards of IPA. Four overarching themes were constructed from the analysis: (1) Experiencing painful isolation from faculty and peers, (2) Facing increased pressure to succeed, (3) Seeking and finding connection with faculty and peers when faced with isolation, (4) Understanding themselves inside their respective programs. Considering the ubiquitous and covert narratives that shape Black computer science and engineering students about how they experience faculty interaction in their programs might help provide greater insight into how to promote belonging and well-being for this population

An ordered framework for partial multivalued functors

The category Rel of sets and relations intimately ties the notions of function, partial multivalued function, and direct image under a function through the description of Rel as the Kleisli category of the covariant power set functor on Set. We present a suitable framework to obtain a similar relationship between the concepts of functor, partial multivalued functor, and the direct image under a functor.Comment: Accepted for presentation at the Asia-Pacific World Congress on Computer Science and Engineering 2015, Fij
