Programs for High-Achieving Students Snowbird Panel Jennifer Rexford Gordon Y.S. Wu Professor of Engineering Chair of Computer Science

Boutique Education at Scale Princeton model: boutique Small classes Preceptorial system in larger classes Low ratio of students to teaching assistants (~25:1) Every student conducts research with faculty Meets reality: scale Rapidly growing majors and enrollment Large classes, even at the upper level Huge IW advising load per faculty member

Undergrad CS Majors by Class Year 170 118 CS has 10-13% of all majors on campus

CS Enrollments 2881 CS has 10% of all course enrollments on campus

Independent Work Projects 280 245 213 131 175 128 139 103 81 70 176 149 110 117 94 69

CS Faculty

Graduate Students

Scaling Teaching support Independent-work Teaching faculty (“Lecturers”) Master’s program (fully funded as TAs) Undergraduate lab TAs and graders Independent-work IW seminars (10-12 students per seminar, with a faculty member and a part-time TA) Led by tenure-track or teaching faculty (”count” like teaching 2/3 of a regular course) Especially for students pursing their first IW project

Effect of IW Seminars on Advising Type 2013-14 2014-15 2015-16 Fall 2016 AB Thesis 48 56 42 29 BSE Thesis 30 20 6 IW Individual 135 169 69 21 IW Seminar 121 100 Unknown Total 213 245 280 176

Outward-Facing IW Seminars (Fall ’15) Relationship networks: Social networks and beyond Understanding the world with sensors Entrepreneurial lessons for computer science Online learning and MOOCs A brave new data world Apps for the environment

Outward-Facing IW Seminars (Spring ’15) Deep learning Understanding the world with sensors Entrepreneurial lessons for computer science Using visualization to improve online CS education Using publicly available data to learn, explain, evaluate, and improve Apps of random kindness

Outward-Facing IW Seminars (Fall’16) Policy issues in the Internet of Things Information discovery through relationships Help future computer scientists learn CS Natural language processing Apps of random kindness CS tools and techniques for digital humanities Entrepreneurial lessons for computer science Bitcoins, block chains, and smart contracts Bioinformatics lab

For High-Achieving Students Independent work IW seminars on timely topics One-on-one IW research projects Funding to present papers at conferences Graduate courses Master’s program Get an MSE after the undergraduate degree E.g., finish undergrad in three years, and get paid to stay another 1-1.5 years!

For High-Achieving Students Participating in our teaching mission Undergraduate graders and lab TAs IW or summer projects on scaling our teaching (e.g., automated grading, plagiarism detection) Educational outreach IW projects on CS education outreach EPICS team on high-school CS education Field trips during fall/spring breaks Entrepreneurship trip to Bay Area Technology policy trip to D.C

Conclusion Boutique education at scale By engaging more people: Teaching faculty, MSE students, undergraduate graders and lab Tas By leveraging automation: innovation By changing the structure: IW seminars Individual opportunities for students Serving in our teaching mission Participating in research with faculty Engaging with the broader community
