believethat our modules had a greater impact on those students who were newer to computationalthinking, over those who had prior experience and were enrolled in upper-level computationalcourses.1 IntroductionAccording to Wing, Computational Thinking (CT) is the thought processes involved informulating a problem and expressing its solution(s) in such a way that an information processor– human or machine – can effectively carry out that solution [1]. The educational philosophybehind Computational Thinking is that problems in every discipline can be solved by the tools ofcomputation such as algorithmic thinking, decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition. Forinstance, one of the pillars of computational thinking is algorithmic thinking

As Crewe [3] further notes, depending on the institutionthat awarded the graduate degree(s), recognition of success may be framed around the alumni’snon-HBCU campus environments rather than how one’s undergraduate HBCU campusexperiences helped lay the foundation for academic achievement. Such narratives areproblematic and speak to the need to further highlight the critical and supportive role HBCUsplay in producing Black STEM professionals. Additionally, there remains a critical gap in theliterature that details the graduate school decision-making process for HBCU

PDCA is a 4-step cycle that repeatscontinuously through which organizations create a plan, execute it, review the results, and finallymake any corrective action before starting again.While Deming’s work was mainly directed towards business, academia took notice.

Significantly, it has been observed that the engineers entering industry havepoorly developed troubleshooting skills because they gain little hands-on experience and theyunderuse test equipment in the typical U.S. undergraduate engineering curriculum [5].
