CONGRATULATIONS

SEIRI would like to congratulate two of our SSG teams for their recent accomplishments:

• A 2018 SEIRI seed grant (SSG) award recipient team led by Eva Pietri recently published an article in the 16th Int’l Conf. on Frontiers in Education: Computer Science and Computer Engineering (FECS’2020). This article will appear in Springer Nature - Research Book Series: Transactions on Computational Science & Computational Intelligence, Series Title: Advances in Software Engineering, Education, & e-Learning, 2020. The research was based on their SSG project titled “Peer Assistant Role Models in a Graduate Computer Science Course”.
