Colleen M. Lewis

• I am a fifth-year education Ph.D. student in SESAME (Studies in Engineering, Science and Mathematics Education) at the UC Berkeley.
• I received a BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 2005 and my MS in computer science in 2009 from UC Berkeley
• I am advised by Andy diSessa and Mike Clancy.
• I am interested in how students transfer non-programming knowledge when they learn computer programming
