• Faculty Development Workshops: Leading initiatives to train faculty across disciplines on using AI for course design, assessment, and engagement.

Algorithms and Complexity (CSE 3500): Redesigned using inclusive teaching standards and project-based learning. The course emphasizes understanding algorithm design paradigms (divide-and-conquer, greedy, dynamic programming, randomized algorithms), and computational complexity. Students work in teams on research-driven projects to practice communication, teamwork, and career readiness competencies.

Data Structures and Object-Oriented Design (CSE 2050): Focuses on core data structures and object-oriented programming principles in Python. Students engage in collaborative coding labs and weekly assignments that reinforce concepts in both algorithmic efficiency and software design. The course emphasizes problem-solving, debugging, and peer collaboration.

Software Engineering (CSE 2102): Covers the fundamentals of software engineering, including requirements analysis, design patterns, testing, and documentation. Students learn modern development practices such as Agile methodology, Git/GitHub, and CI/CD concepts. A semester-long team project simulates real-world development, giving students hands-on experience with collaboration, project management, and stakeholder communication.
