Beyond the simple choice of a major, there is alsothe issue of making informed decisions about high school coursework to better position them forearly success within an undergraduate computing major.The SCC introduced interested high school youth to three computing fields (CS, CmpE, IT).Four computing faculty delivered the lectures and facilitated hands-on laboratories, providing theprospective computing majors opportunities for direct interaction. Campers also became familiarwith current Master’s level students throughout the week, specifically during the laboratories. OnDay 1 campers received a general overview of computing and an introduction to programming.Days 2-4

Eachparticipating academic department hosts several three-hour workshops during which groups of20-25 students learn about an academic discipline in which they could major. Students areallowed to select workshops in academic departments from which they are most interested. Thegoal of the Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering is to provide students abetter understanding of what it means to major in environmental science or environmentalengineering. To support this goal, our faculty developed an exercise that uses a combination oflecture material and laboratory experimentation. During the 50-minute lecture period, facultydescribe the attributes of both academic majors

That was her first glimpse into the failure of the education system from teacher training to student learning. Morrell’s quest has always been to answer the question, how do we as a country improve student outcomes in STEM for all students? How do we finally recognize and close gaps in performance

Human-centered design processes have been shown toincrease productivity, improve quality, reduce errors, reduce training and support costs, improvepeople's acceptance of new products, enhance companies' reputations, increase user satisfactionand reduce development costs [16], [17].When developing a S-L relationship, it is critical to ask 1) What does the faculty member want orneed their students to learn? And 2) What are the goals or needs of our community partners? Theintersection of these answers is the foundation of an S-L partnership [18]. This is important toensure that

Therefore, equity work at themacrolevel of contesting ideologies and dominant ways of knowing and being acknowledgesbarriers that foster inequities in engineering participation at the microlevel, making way for allstudents to rightfully participate (Calabrese Barton & Tan, 2018, 2019).The second application of this contestation concerns conceptualizing epistemologies ofengineering for learning. For this orientation towards engineering and practice, engineering ineducation can be leveraged to engage in social justice work. Morales-Doyle (2019) argues thatcurricula constitute spaces that can invite students to interrogate and critique macro-levelsystems, increase their knowledge and understanding of the relevant issues and enact change.Bazzul

It is crucial to extend these traininginitiatives to encompass the school’s administration and staff (Hester et al., 2020; Walker, 2016).

This is especially effective when post-secondary institutions partner withK-12 schools. Establishing the partnership can be challenging as the institutions must havecongruous objectives, determine who is responsible for what, and define success similarly.

Allowing students to use systems thinking to createdistinctions and deconstruct the parts of what makes AI both “artificial” and “intelligent”establishes a stronger foundation than introducing a traditional concrete definition. Introducingthe concept of systems thinking at the beginning of the curriculum also provides them with animportant problem-solving tool that can be used to deconstruct scenarios and digest new topicsas they progress through the sections.After this foundation was established, relevant ethical concerns of AI and the responsibilities ofits designers were discussed.
