The level of attrition in Computer Science is reportedto be between 9.8% [1] and 28% [2]. This represents both a direct loss in terms of students notcompleting the major as well as an indirect loss in terms of students not encouraged to pursue itbecause of a perceived difficulty given its high withdrawal rates.Figure
