or deviant (i.e., outlier) cases, the participants expressed markedly differentperceptions than their peers about mentorship. Each called into question or doubted whether theirexperiences should be labeled as mentorship. These were not anticipated responses fromparticipants choosing to participate in a study about effective mentorship [7], [8]. While otherparticipants shared negative stories or gave examples of ineffective mentorship, none expressedreluctance or refusal to label their support relationships as mentorship. The seeminglycontradictory combination of providing mentorship while questioning or invalidating one’s ownmentorship experiences motivated a closer examination of these faculty members’ stories todetermine what lessons could

Education, 2023 Work In Progress: A Novel Approach to Understanding Perceptions of Race Among Computing UndergraduatesINTRODUCTIONBlack, Native American, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and Latinx undergraduates remainseverely underrepresented in computing [i.e., computer science (CS), engineering, andinformation systems] [1]. This is often attributed to student-centered, deficit-based factors suchas a lack of access to K-12 computing courses, culturally relevant role models and curricula, andsense of belonging. However, research notes how racial “othering” in university courses,departments, and cultures from peers, faculty, and staff negatively impact them [2]–[4].Shifting national conversations around race, racism, and anti

role in their decision to persist in or leaveengineering [26-29]. Female-identified students’ sense of belonging and self-confidence have asignificant impact on their persistence [24, 30]. Engineering identity also strongly contributes tostudents’ desires to stay in the field [31-33]. Students who are more interested in and motivatedby the social impact of engineering do not always identify as engineers [25] because of theemphasis on technical engineering work [13]. This is especially concerning in light of recentevidence suggesting that female-identified students place more importance on the sociotechnicaldimensions of engineering than their male-identified peers [23, 34]. Providing students withmore opportunities to engage with socially

CS Curriculum Design There have been great strides in determining potential areas of improvement among CScourses and programs [e.g., 26, 27, 28]. One area of literature focuses on college students nothaving the necessary skills and knowledge to work in the industry [29, 30, 31, 32]. In regard totheir soft skills, graduates tend to struggle with their verbal [31, 33] and writing [28, 30, 34]skills, in particular, clearly articulating their problems when they need help [29]. In regard totechnical skills, graduates often lack the ability to use a number of industry software tools, suchas configuration management and database tools [29, 32, 35]. Another

At acertain point in the course, participants were requested to write down their reflections basedon specific questions, such as “What is your approach to identifying the problem statementand problem?”, “How did design thinking and negotiations with your group influence yourapproach to the process?” Each of the reflective questions was answered with over 200words.

Explaining an answer buildshigher-level skills. Having students discuss questions on the board is much more than just whatthey write. Describing how they found an answer requires higher-level thinking skills and helpsstudents better grasp the concept. Half of the class activities in Wireless Communications course were designed to beproject-based learning (PBL). PBL can help students to apply their knowledge and skills in real-world scenarios, making learning more relevant and enjoyable. PBL encourages students to takean active role in their learning.

Summarizing social theorist Max Weber’s classicconcepts of bureaucratic organizations, Gorman and Mosseri [2] write: In the prototypical bureaucratic organization, work is divided into well‐defined, nonoverlapping jobs that remain fixed for substantial periods of time. The performance of work is governed by written rules specifying the appropriate way to handle different categories of situations, so that workers' individual discretion is limited. Each role reports to a superior one in a
