in HFOSS within a class can positively impact student attitude towards computing,major selection and career plans, technical and professional knowledge, software engineeringknowledge, and more [15, 16]. In addition, research has shown that women demonstrate asignificantly greater understanding than men of how to plan, develop and maintain an HFOSSproject after having participated in an HFOSS community [13]. The research presented in thispaper explores the impact of HFOSS on a significantly sized group of women in computing,largely made up of students.2. MethodThe study was designed to understand if a one-day exposure to HFOSS motivates females withregard to computing majors or careers. A single set of research hypotheses that include a null

Guidelines are imperative for undergraduateeducation and the subsequent professional career. However, due to the lack of active learningtools and the dearth of engaged student learning, software engineering education may not beeffectively delivered, resulting in non-coverage by the instructors or non-retention by thestudents of the required software engineering knowledge area. A three years NSF TUES grantawarded to the authors institute in 2013 has specifically addressed these pedagogical issues. Theproject which involved partnerships in academia and industry developed 44 delivery contacthours of new Active Learning Tools, deployed to enhance knowledge delivery and retention inSoftware Verification and Validation (SV&V), specifically in these
