The lack of gender parity poses anongoing challenge for post-secondary academic institutions in the United States (U.S.).According to the 2021 Taulbee report [2], 22.3% of baccalaureate degrees in computer science(CS) were awarded to women, and approximately zero percent of degrees were awarded tonon-binary students. The extent of the problem is especially apparent when one considers that therepresentation in the U.S. is quite different, with 50.5% of the total population of the countryidentifying as women [3] and 1.6% identifying as transgender or non-binary [4

Antonio, thus showing the transferability ofthe curriculum.IntroductionThe 2017 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicines’ report on UndergraduateResearch Experiences (URE) for STEM Students: Successes, Challenges, and Opportunitiesmakes over 50 references to teams and teamwork, such as the URE’s tendency to “emphasize andexpect collaboration and teamwork” [1]. The report does not contain systematic recommendationsfor team training among its numerous contributing sources. This absence may indicate that teamtraining measures do not keep up with the increased curricular use of team projects. In fact,students are often required to work in groups without adequate preparation and guidelines for suchinterpersonal interactions [2-9

Student demandfor computing programs is at an all-time high, including large numbers of students who change majors aftertheir freshman year (and would thus not be considered for scholarships that target first-year CS majors).Meanwhile, there is a significant shortage of both computing professionals and qualified faculty to teach atuniversities and a lag in computing graduation

Do students correctly anticipate the nature of theSTEM connections in the unit? In answering these questions, we can discover if studentsdetermine that they must learn the very same STEM concept(s) for which the curriculum wasdesigned. If students anticipate the correct connections, we have reason to believe this supportsstudents’ feelings of autonomy, competence, and motivation.
