Mary Lou Dorf

Collegiate Lecturer Dr. Mary Lou Dorf has retired after 15 years at the University of Michigan in the Computer Science and Engineering Division of the EECS Department.

A team of NAME and EECS faculty have been awarded with a Second Place Excellence in Promoting Women in Undergraduate Computing Award.

Dr. Dorf has made notable contributions to instruction through her reimagining of EECS 183.

Dr. Dorf has transformed EECS 183 into an interactive and inclusive experience.

EECS 183 is designed to teach undeclared students and non-CS majors the fundamentals of algorithmic thinking and programming.

EECS 183 is the introductory CS class for LSA students, and it has been designed to broaden participation in the discipline.

Programs will be developed under the grant to foster inclusiveness and to provide support.

The recipients are Prof. Valeria Bertacco and Dr. Mary Lou Dorf.

The goal of Computing CARES is to lead to a more diverse population in Computer Science and Computer Engineering programs and create a better climate for all students.

The paper addresses the question of whether introducing an interactive textbook into introductory STEM courses can improve student grades.

EECS 183 has been reinvented as a course with a major team project. It's a big class, and there are lots of projects.

These faculty are recognized for their unique contributions during the past year.
