ABSTRACT
Experiences from the Google Faculty in Residence Program are presented as a unique, productive example of an industry driven academic collaboration emphasizing project-based learning [2]. Representative faculty participants describe their experiences and their unique projects developed during Google Faculty in Residence (FIR) where faculty worked together with experienced Google developers. Part of FIR included training from Google developers on a wide range of software engineering best practices, student preparation for industry and computer science recruitment and retention. Consideration of diversity and inclusivity in students backgrounds and preparedness were tantamount in project goals. Projects developed targeted both lower and upper division curriculum and in some cases pedagogy outside of traditional classroom boundaries. Results of the application of projects at panelists institutions are given.

SIGCSE '19: Proceedings of the 50th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science EducationInvesting in raising a generation with more security-aware minds is essential in preventing many of the security incidents that threaten us and our nation. In addition there is a high need for well-trained cybersecurity professionals to protect our ...
Academic-Industry Collaborations: Effective Measures for Successful Engagement
ITiCSE '17: Proceedings of the 2017 ACM Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science EducationDrawing on Mishra and Koehler's "TPACK" model [1], we recognize that great Computer Science (CS) teaching demands great pedagogy, great technology skills and great subject knowledge. The main challenge facing any jurisdiction in implementing a CS ...
Industry partnerships to support computer science high school teachers' pedagogical content knowledge
SIGITE '14: Proceedings of the 15th Annual Conference on Information technology educationThere is a critical need for computer scientists in the new digital age, a need that is not being met largely due to a lack of qualified computing teachers in K-12. In this project, we explore a three- year, on-the-job teacher preparation program (TEALS)...
