. Although onescholar mentioned “falling in love with Physics” because of an eleventh-grade class and twoother scholars referenced excelling in Technology-Education classes while in high school(Action Possibilities: educational experiences), it is clear from these interviews that the influenceof family members is the primary reason why these scholars are pursuing engineering. In fact,five of the seven scholars explicitly pointed to a family member as their greatest influence and intwo of those cases the scholar identified their father as being an engineer. Speaking about thisinfluence, one scholar said since “my father was an electrical engineer, I already knew that waslike a big possibility for me” (Action Possibilities: following in steps of role

Competency in Undergraduate Computing ProgramsAbstractThe Computing Curricula 2020 (CC2020) report, issued by the ACM and IEEE Computer Society,identified knowledge, skills, and dispositions as the three main components of competency forundergraduate programs in computer engineering, computer science, cybersecurity, informationsystems, information technology, and software engineering, as well as data science. As earliergenerations of curricular guidelines in computing have described knowledge and skills to someextent, the notion of dispositions is relatively new to computing.Dispositions are cultivable behaviors, such as adaptability, meticulousness, and self-directedness,that are desirable in the workplace.
