In recent years, there has been arise of college-to-company pipeline initiatives with the purpose of increasing thedisproportionately under-representation of black women in tech. However, there has only been aslight increase in the representation of black women in tech from these initiatives, which stillindicate an insufficient level of their representation in tech.The objective of this research is to examine critical factors that impact the representation ofblack women in CS.

Since, the curriculum has evolved tremendously, however research has shown thatprofessional engineers still may encounter new issues that they were not faced with while inschool [2]. Educators must carefully consider the needs of today's graduates in order to properlyprepare students for the demands of this work. Academic preparation for the profession inengineering-related fields primarily focuses on technical knowledge, leaving little room for othertypes of competencies within the tightly packed curriculum [28].

While the V-model isintuitive for those with design experience, as a project management model it does not accuratelythe reflect the actual and iterative work of design so it needs to be implemented flexibly and withsignificant scaffolding.Because capstone courses can be very time-intensive for faculty, the instructors have developed asignificant amount of scaffolding over time using an action-based research approach [4] (seenext section).

techniques. A few reasons could explain the results. One, as the students spend a disproportionateamount of time using analytical solutions, they are more likely to recall instances where theirknowledge was limited. Conversely, good programming technique is not utilized heavily in thecore curriculum, so they do not have the chance to continuously struggle with new material, andthus have an inflated sense of knowledge concerning the material. Another reason could be that,it is possible that the coding-heavy nature of the course enabled the students to remember goodprogramming practices, and this is reflected in the subsequent semesters. The lowest self-rating was given to the question “I can code my own numerical solutionsto PDEs

For example, in thesophomore-level material and energy balances, often an initial exercise is to convert a wordproblem into a simple block flow diagram. The block flow diagram consists of a series of blocksrepresenting different equipment or unit operations that are connected by input and outputstreams.
