Comparatively, they observed that internationalwomen were motivated to enter the computing field because they perceived it to be a pragmaticand highly employable career field.Along these lines, it is critical to note that women are not minoritized in computing globally.Countries such as Malaysia, Mauritius, and Taiwan have more equitable (or even higher)representation [13]. Studies have described how nuanced cultural factors may also play a role insuch choices and that they can influence perceptions about the field [16, 17].

efforts to get students to interact with computational thinking as part of theireducation and to broaden participation is student engagement [18].Individuals may engage with computing in many different ways. They may start early on, withcomputational thinking integrated into elementary or middle schools in the U.S. [17], and otherpeople may elect to enroll in a computing major as soon as they start in tertiary education.Meanwhile, others enter a computing career later in life, entering through alternative pathwayssuch as coding bootcamps and self-learning through online resources [19]. Yet, given that it hasbeen argued that “the majority of youth have been systematically denied access to quality CSlearning opportunities” [17, p. 36:2], finding

Within the United States (U.S.),the disparities in computer science education and careers are glaring. Blacks, Hispanics, NativeAmericans, Alaska Natives, and women are all underrepresented as compared to their relativeproportions of the national population [2]. Of particular interest, though some of these groupshave documented increases in their share of awarded computing degrees over the past decade,the

There have been 116 students and 44 teachers who have successfullyparticipated. The research program was conducted on campus in 2019, but due to COVID-19, theprogram was conducted online in 2020. In 2021 and 2022, the program was redesigned to behybrid, and six host sites participated. Despite the changes in the program, students' prowess wasenhanced by their teamwork and engagement in the projects. The post-program survey raisedconcerns about

TheLAunchPad Summer Program is a two-week summer program where female high school juniorsand seniors experience a gender-inclusive learning environment, with scaffolded instruction,hands-on activities to reinforce the learning, and exposure to female role models. A studyrevealed that after participating in the LAunchPad, the student's interest in pursuing anengineering or computer science career increased by 29% [12]. The FYrE@ECST is a first-yearexperience program in the ECST where first-year students receive holistic academic support andgo through a pathway to complete their Math and Science requirements during their first year.

Second, the employers have a better understanding of the capacities offuture recruits, and finally, help in the design of quality courses.A good definition of learning outcomes in a course can be an indicator of the success of thecourse because they present a clear idea of what is needed to be achieved at the end of the courseand can also guide the student’s career path [5].Some studies corroborate the hypothesis of the importance of having learning outcomes well-defined in the courses. Authors of [6] present a study that suggests that students find learningoutcomes useful, but they also found that sometimes the students are not able to link

Becauseacquiring both theoretical and practical knowledge is important for students’ learning in highereducation [52, 53], instructors can use real world problems to convey their usefulness to theindustry or may want to revisit the role of these courses in the sequence. Not only did students discuss how theoretical courses like Automata Theory andAssembly Programming were irrelevant to their future career goals, but they also found thecourse topics difficult. In order to enhance students’ learning, instructors can require prerequisitecourses and explore ways to teach courses more effectively. For example, in Automata Theory,prior work has found that visualization
