All these changes culminated into making the program the success it is today.Due to these innovations and constant evolution, the 2014 cohort was unlike any other. SJSUstudents were given first-hand experience about technology's global role, entrepreneurship, andcross-cultural collaboration when they participated in the International Innovation &Entrepreneur Leadership Experience (IIELE) at Chung Yuan Christian University (CYCU) inJungli, Taiwan. Beginning with the 2014 cohort, we renamed the GTI program to reflect thechange in focus. The new name is the Global Technology Institute (GTI*).

Students in a technical elective robotics class in theMechanical Engineering Department at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) optedfor either a final project or service learning for 25% of their grade. For SL, the students had towork with elementary and middle-school children in San Antonio over a period of 10 weeks tomentor them on building and programming robots with LEGO® Mindstorms® for the FIRST®LEGO® League tournament. In parallel, the undergraduates also learnt LEGO® Mindstorms inthe class by creating robots for assigned labs. This way they were able to apply concepts taughtin the class towards community service.

Concerns about the lackof engineering exposure for all children and ensuring a larger, more reliable supply of futureengineers have been accompanied by the realization that we have not yet determined the bestway to inform children of engineering skills and concepts.3 There is also continued debate on whether national standards should be developed andimplemented for K-12 engineering education.

First, it could bedifficult to motivate students to take the course seriously as it is not one of the primaries in theengineering curriculum. Students will need to be convinced that the course is intended toencourage genuine moral reflection rather than mere recitation. This bottleneck could beovercome by creating an opportunity to exercise and refine students’ critical, moral abilities.

Outcomes demonstrated that students thought the final project allowedthem to practice “doing engineering,” and reported that the instructor sharing about her journeythrough engineering and hearing about their peer’s experiences were impactful on their sense ofbelonging.

Even though efforts have been made to address such challenges forwomen and minorities in CS, more work needs to be done. This is especially the case for blackwomen, who account for less than 3% of the tech workforce.
