(To order or download an easy-to-useresource for this purpose, see www.ncwit.org/resources/computing-get-most-out-your-college-degree.) But to gauge whether computing occupations are a good fit for their interests andambitions, students also need to be exposed to the nature and diversity of computingoccupations. In the following, we discuss other research-supported recommendations forinvolving girls and women, and more diverse students in general, in computing.Computing is often inaccurately stereotyped as a “geeky” or masculine endeavor. Classroompractices, both at the K-12 and college

aspects of our lives. As a result, graduates need to be able to recognize andcommunicate such changes, as well as understand their own gaps in knowledge and skills to beable to address such changes in the future. Even though the faculty participants stated that they believe their students are well-prepared for a career in terms of domain-specific knowledge and skills, student preparation interms of soft-skills may not be sufficient, since it is often only inconsistently addressed on acourse-by-course level. As such, our results suggest the following two measures to furtherimprove computing programs. First, soft skills should be part of formal education to support not only collaborativeefforts, but also an ability to address ill

It is composed of three interrelatedcomponents, Thesis Prep, Thesis Research and Thesis Studio, all providing an opportunity forthe student to explore and investigate a relevant issue in the field of architecture. The processstarts as a student enters the last semester of senior year and runs over three semesters. The finaltwo semesters comprise the fifth year of the 5-year, professionally accredited Bachelor of Archi-tecture program. Each component presents the student with different intentions and goals
