Background2.1 Computing’s Diversity ScorecardComputing is a high growth field with well-paying career opportunities, but the percentage ofwomen and minorities in careers in computing is well below their percentages in both theworkforce and in society. With a 19% projected job growth in computing between 2016 and2026, employment prospects and compensation levels in computing are both excellent; the paygap between men and women is also low compared to other engineering disciplines.2 Yet overthe past decade, women have held only 25% of computer and mathematical (C&M) jobs whilecomprising 56%-58% of the total workforce [11]; in 2016, Blacks made up only 7.9% percent ofC&M workers while comprising 11.9% of all workers

This idea of supporting the pre-engineeringstudent in a culturally appropriate manner was a significant factor of the origin story ofthe four tribal colleges involved in this project, and for all of the TCU’s in existencetoday. In this way it was believed that between TCU's and the mainstream institution thestudents would get more personalized and therefore effective engineering educationwhile they had the opportunity of developing and maintaining their cultural identity goingforward in their chosen careers.
