Thispaper aims to document the distribution of EnvE programs at PUIs and adjacent programs (i.e.Civil Engineering) that may pose an alternative path into EnvE practice for undergraduates.Further, preliminary curricular comparison among EnvE PUI programs is presented to provide arecord of current potential gaps in EnvE as taught at PUIs which lack graduate programs tosupplement specialization and provide additional technical research opportunities on campus forstudents and faculty.2.

Other participants of theinterview, who do not have STEM specialists in their family, mentioned an example of howthe schools’ extra-curricular activities, such as laboratory visits and career orientation testswere carried out. One of them even had a chance to talk to a professional in her field on acareer orientation course (Q25). “My school provided professional orientation sessions to help us decide with the field of study.” Q26It is also necessary to highlight university activities as well as representatives of the facultywho help and encourage their students both in academic and

MethodsWe collected data from three interdisciplinary STEM laboratories from three differentuniversities in North America. Over a period of 16 months, we conducted 27 interviews (19Zoom interviews and 8 on-site in-person interviews), attended 26 lab meetings, and shadowedthree lab members in-person. Remote interviews and meeting observations began in thebeginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in Spring 2020.

' access to CSEdmay be unevenly distributed across different types of schools and districts. When students dohave access to courses, there may be disparities in enrollment rates between different studentsubgroups. When students do enroll in CS courses, there still may be inequities in terms of whichstudents feel included and which students ultimately benefit from participating in those courses.The relationships between the four components of CAPE and examples of equity issues toaddress within each component are represented in Figure 1. In our work, we utilized CAPE asour framework for understanding how to measure and address equity in CSEd.Figure 1: CAPE FrameworkThe Expanding Computing Education Pathways Alliance as a Laboratory for DataThe
