Abstract

Computer science educators continuously seek creative and effective ways of engaging students. The model of cooperative education, in which students systematically combine academic learning with practical work experiences, provides opportunities to deepen student learning, promote student retention, and prepare students for professional life. We discuss ways in which cooperative learning can engage students in the broader discipline of computer science.
