confronting issues related to inclusion. The department undergoes annual review byexternal evaluators Inverness Research. The 2019 review revealed instances where students didnot feel included. These situations involved faculty, staff, and students. Since becoming aware ofthe situations, the department has spent considerable time addressing inclusivity. All facultyattended microaggression and inclusion training (see below). Inclusion training has been addedto the new vertically integrated design project courses (see below) that will be required of allstudents. One faculty piloted a syllabus that includes a policy on microaggressions andharassment. The Department has prompted University’s Center for Teaching and Learning tolead the establishment of a

, participated in team-building exercises, military training, and social activities.Course StructureCalculus I was taught with both face-to-face and online components over a six-week term. Embeddedwithin CSI, the face-to-face component was held five days per week in 110 minute sessions and led by amath instructor. Topics covered during instruction included: limits, continuity, differentiability, andintegrability. We worked closely with our Department of Mathematical Sciences to ensure that alllearning objectives addressed during a full-term Calculus I course were included in our acceleratedsummer course. Typical sessions included lecture time with intermittent problem-solving sessions. Thecourse syllabus is available by request.Online instruction and

complete several data collectionand analysis activities including:1. Content analysis of AM course syllabi will be used to develop lists of skills gained by students who successfully complete AM coursework. The unit of analysis is a syllabus from an individual course. All occupational completion points, student performance outcomes, or standards and/or certifications covered in the material will be analyzed through an iterative process using the codebook derived from relevant national, state, and professional standards and industry certifications. Researchers will also use established instruments to measure the extent to which the new professionals report entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial intentions [27-29]. In addition to

contribute tothe development of self-efficacy, CS/M identity, and sense of belonging?" As discussed below,current research efforts are focusing on the effects of the seminars and the mentoring aspect ofthe program.The second main research theme of the project is the effect of early CS exposure (courseworkand career awareness in freshman year) on computer science and math majors. For CS/MScholars, the early exposure to CS consists of the first-quarter CS seminar, a first course inprogramming the following quarter, and program events where career opportunities in CS arediscussed. Because many incoming freshmen have limited knowledge of CS, early CS exposuremay attract such students to CS. Evidence from our previous S-STEM project indicates that
