.” - Denis WaitleyIntroduction This research is a work in progress, an offshoot of an exploratory integration study ofSTEM + computational thinking (STEM+C) for minority girls. The larger study is a joint effortamongst a community center, an educational research institute and a STEM center at auniversity. These partners designed, tested and implemented the integration of newcomputational thinking (CT) practices into a research-based STEM program. The study islongitudinal, spanning two school years, in 10-week, twice weekly, 90-minute program. One ofthe goals of the program is to learn how to inspire, motivate and bolster minority girls STEM andCT abilities and perceptions. The purpose of this work in progress is to study how anintervention

PETGUI program.2. BackgroundFor digital logic courses, PETGUI offers a rich set of useful functionalities that can be integratedinto course curriculum and educational outreach. The software is a front-end for a Java-basedcode repository that supports advanced experiments in program protection and exploitationrelated to hardware security that has been part of several master’s and doctoral thesis topics [1-11]. The software integrates popular algorithms and synthesis tools such as UC Berkeley’sEspresso [12] and ABC [13] in an easy-to-use interface. Visualization from the graph-based JavayEd library [14] provides the ability to see relationships between circuit form, structure, andfunctional representations. It also supports advanced concept

The program aimsto increase retention of first-year engineering students through a curriculum focused on academicreadiness in math and chemistry, professional development, familiarity with campus andavailable resources, and a broad-based knowledge of engineering fields and the engineeringdesign process. Outside of the curriculum, participants build community and a sense ofbelonging with social, professional development, and philanthropic programming. With theconstraints of remote instruction, math readiness and community building were

The focus of this paper will center on a decade-long distance-based education collaborative’s resilience to the rapid change incurred bythe adjustments forced upon education by the 2020 pandemic. The most notable of thechanges was the shift from having the majority of the student curriculum taught face toface (outside of the distance-based pre-engineering program) to suddenly the entirety ofthe learning experience moved online.

This has included learning to compromise and combine ideas that other members may have, as well as reaching out to them for more information or specific requests when necessary.” “From working with others, I have learned that not everyone approaches the same problem in the same manner, and there are multiple effective ways to solve a problem.”These responses shed light on the importance of integrating a scaffolding technique to promote thetechnical, communication, and

queer engineering reading group comprised of undergraduate andgraduate students and faculty members. Studies over the last decade have shown that LGBTQIA+engineering students have continuously felt excluded and devalued in STEM spaces. A key factorin this chilly climate is the social-technical dualism that is often strictly enforced in engineeringcurriculum. Professors and students alike see discussing politics and social issues as irrelevant tothe highly technical curriculum. As a result, queer identities are erased from engineering andstudents are never able to formally connect engineering with their queer (or other) identity in anymeaningful way. In an effort to combat this, we have implemented a LGBTQIA+ reading groupthat challenges the

Increasedknowledge of programming and computation in early childhood is also associated with betterproblem solving, decision-making, basic number sense, language skills, and visual memory [2].As a digital competence, coding is explicitly regarded as a key 21st Century Skill, as the“literacy of today,” such that its acquisition is regarded as essential to sustain economicdevelopment and competitiveness [3].
