A large number of diverse students are studying behavioral and social sciences,and the ability to model human behaviors and social interactions is a highly valuable skill set inour increasingly data-driven world. Applied Computing students complete a four-coursesequence that focuses on data analytics and includes data structures and algorithms, data cleaningand management, SQL, and a culminating project. Our first full cohort of students completed theApplied Computing minor in Spring 2019. To assess the success of the minor, we conductstudent surveys and interviews in each course. Here, we focus on survey data from the

In the very first iteration of theprogram, the goal was to enable high school women to engage in hands-on STEM research instate of the art research laboratories under the guidance of women graduate student role modelsfor a semester (10-12 weeks).By having the research projects supervised by graduate students, we did not have to burdenfaculty members (although they needed to approve their graduate student’s participation in theprogram) and the graduate students had opportunity to develop their skills in scoping a shortresearch project and mentoring younger students. Furthermore, to compensate the graduatestudents for their time and effort, a

Based on these two goals, the class topics were broken down into twoareas: Military Technology Applications and Research Tools.

institutions), while other, often newer, programs like biomedical (BME) and environmental(ENV) reach near parity in some schools. BME and ENV are often viewed as “helping”disciplines, which suggests why they may be more appealing to women students. Researchconducted as a means of evaluating a NSF project to attract more women to engineering showsthat young women are attracted to “helping” disciplines within engineering2. Anecdotal evidencefrom one institution suggests adding a “helping” discipline may be associated with a decline inthe proportion of women in a related traditional discipline (that is, the new disciplines mayattract women already in the engineering pipeline, rather than attracting women to engineeringwho would not otherwise be enrolled
