Ensure code quality through automated continuous testing.Data Collection and AnalysisTo examine how the semester-long experience impacted students, we regularly requestedstudents to reflect on the learning experience. After each SET lesson, we asked the followingfour reflection questions: - What is/are the most important concept(s) you have learned? - How will you use the skills you have developed from this workshop for your project? - What might be the challenges or barriers to implementing ideas from this workshop? - What support would be helpful to have in implementing ideas from this workshop?At the end of the semester, an exit survey was conducted with the following questions: - What was the most useful thing you have learned

Affecting the Future Career Pathway Decisions of Lower-income Computing Students1. IntroductionWithin research on broadening participation in computing, the experience and perspectives ofundergraduate students have been important elements of exploration. As undergraduate studentsare experts of their own experience, conducting research that focuses on understanding theirperspective can help those who organize programmatic efforts to respond to student needs andconcerns. This paper emerges from the context of a specific National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) program.As with all S-STEM programs, Florida Information Technology Graduation
