Adiversity score was calculated for each track by counting how many of each mechanics,electrical, programming, cell, and materials science classes were in each track offering andcomputing the standard deviation of each track, where high numbers meant less diversity incourses.In addition, faculty, alumni and current student surveys were collected through an online surveysystem asking a variety of questions about importance of skills, topics, ranking of courses andpreference of topics, as well as career alignment with track area. The survey was sent to 400people and a 34% response rate was achieved with an even gender split amongst participants.The survey of both
