Women’s SuccessPrograms to increase women's participation in software engineering emphasize both technicaland non-technical skill development. Women-focused coding boot camps, online platforms, andcommunity programs significantly impact participants’ confidence and persistence. Researchsuggests that creating a sense of community in these settings boosts self-confidence andmotivates women to pursue careers in STEM [20]. For example, Black Girls Code providesparticipants foundational coding skills, preparing them to succeed academically andprofessionally [26]. Similarly, boot camps like Ada Developers Academy provide project-basedlearning experiences that mirror real-world challenges, fostering adaptability and criticalthinking, as well as

sent in Fall 2023 to students in their current second year andbeyond as an initial assessment of academic experience and factors included course content,workload, stress, engineering identity, graduate attributes, and more. This survey will berepeated in the summer of 2024 to determine continual improvement measures and to assess anyadditional modifications that may be needed within the curriculum redesign. An initial review ofthe survey feedback (n=74) showed that students who went through the new curriculum are morelikely to agree or strongly agree that the course content has been valuable and relevant to theirfuture careers. Table 1 shows a comparison between students who began their softwareengineering studies prior to Fall 2022, and those

the inclusion of security. The structure of the change wasnot prescriptive in nature. Programs were free to add security into their program in the mannerbest deemed suitable to their environment. This could be done by modifying existing courses,course descriptions, or outcomes to address security. This could be done by requiring students totake an existing security course from another program, such as Cybersecurity, which had its ownset of accreditation criteria adopted in 2019 [16]. This could be accomplished by requiringstudents to take a selective elective in security, allowing students to choose an area mostapplicable to their future career goals and plans.To analyze how programs have incorporated security, a data set describing a random

Engineering Department has more than 900 students in five programswhich are housed in that department. Before forming the Engineering Department at UVU,Computer Engineering program was housed in the Computer Science department which offers aBachelor of Science (BS) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, and Computational DataScience. It also offers a Bachelor of Applied Science in Software Development and a Master ofComputer Science. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program was one of the firstBachelor of Science programs implemented at UVU in 1993. The program’s goal has been toprovide a quality program that meets accreditation standards while providing the students with askill set that allows them to succeed in computing careers. The

a sense of adoption rateand uses. Unfortunately, large-scale, general surveys about AI in education often focus onwriting essays and have limited reporting on coding assignments. When research is focused oncomputing students, we see much more robust usage. For example, Amoozadeh and team [10]surveyed over 100 computing students at a large US university and found 76% reported havingused GenAI tools, and 65% reported using them to complete programming tasks.Notably, these student-facing surveys and interviews have not dug into what exactly students aredoing with GenAI, their reflections on its usefulness, and their perceptions on how it is changingtheir educational journey in terms of academic integrity and career prospects.MethodsWe
