reviewed and considered efforts toredesign first-year engineering experiences at colleges and universities across the country andidentified skills that would better prepare first-year students for success in their future coursesand careers. A major recommendation was the adoption of a new two-course sequence for first-year students. This sequence will replace the current one-unit introductory seminar course forfirst-year engineering and computer science students.A backward design process — that began with student learning outcomes and produced contentand assignments that would support these outcomes — was used by a subsequent summerworking group to develop plans for the two-course sequence. This backward course design wasfacilitated using the TiLT

Further, members ofunderrepresented groups have bigger increases in their interest in research than their non-underrepresented counterparts after taking such courses, which suggests that emphasizing theapplied sides of SDS may help with expanding participation in the field [23].In the current study, we expand upon this previous work on how students become interested inpursuing careers in SDS by investigating what drew SDS majors and minors to choose thiscourse of study over other possibilities. We present descriptive and qualitative results frominterviews with a group of academically talented students majoring or minoring in SDS and whohave low incomes.

Abstract Your Voice is Power is a curriculum that seeks to promote racial equity and increaseinterest in computing careers by integrating elements of computing, music, social justice, self-expression, and entrepreneurship. The curriculum consists of five modules lasting 60-90 minuteseach. Students engage with music through lyrical analysis to extract and explore present themesof social justice using the OUTKAST Imagination framework. Students then engage withmusical concepts from a computing perspective to create their own remixes using EarSketch, aweb-based, learn-to-code through music platform developed at Georgia Institute of Technology(Georgia Tech). These elements are further supported by discussions around racial justice andthe
