For instance, a student majoring in biologywill be more confident pursuing a degree/career in fields like biotechnology, bioengineeringwhich spans technology and biology after being introduced to computational thinking in abiology class [6]. Moreover, there has been a lot of effort by government and research agencies toencourage young people into STEM and technology careers. With this work of ours, we believeUniversity of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) will be doing its due diligence in supportingthese efforts.

2017 Best Paper, “MeasuringStudents’ Subjective Task Values Related to the Post-Undergraduate Career Search” [9] reads:“The PEPS study is grounded in Expectancy-Value Theory (EVT), which conceptualizesengagement in a task as a function of four subjective task values: attainment value, intrinsicvalue, utility value, and cost. The focus of this research paper is on the development andvalidation of survey measures to capture students’ subjective task values (STV) related to theirpost-undergraduate career search.” The top 10 keywords from that paper, based on their TFIDF,are shown in Table 1.

Access to academic advisors, who provideinsight into degree progress, career options, and real or potential problems, is especiallyimportant for those students who are considering switching majors. Of all the strengths andweaknesses that students acknowledge in advising, a lack of individual attention is one thing thatstudents have difficulty accepting (Seymour and Hewitt, 1997).
