to learn directly from their peers.IntroductionSince 2014, women have comprised just one-fifth of those graduating with associate degrees incomputing and information systems (CIS) [1]. Due to the growth in the number of CIS associatedegrees conferred to men, the proportion earned by women has diminished by more than halffrom 1999 levels [1]. The CIS gender gap in community colleges 1 (CCs) is particularlyconcerning from an equity perspective, since these institutions provide crucial access to post-secondary education, including for the socioeconomically disadvantaged, first-generation, older,and Hispanic college students they disproportionately serve [2]. However, relatively littleresearch and programming focuses on supporting gender equity

An aluminum extrusion MakerSlide10 rail and carriage system is used for both the axis struc- ture and precision motion guide-rails – thereby reducing material use and costs. The drive system comprises a total of four stepper motors (dual motor x-axis). Timing pulleys and belts are coupled to the rail and carriage gantry to generate smooth motions.

In this case, thetopic began to be cited in 2006, and 2018 reached its highest peak. An additional argument forlimiting the search to only those years was the publication of the seminal Jennings article.Jennings’ article is associated with the accounting of the term "Computational Thinking," whichwas published in 2006[1]. In that case, for limiting the scope, this literature review is limited toassessments in higher education, specifically in science and engineering classrooms. The searchdid not include terms related to higher education. This decision was made based on the literaturereview; there were few studies in higher

For examplethere is evidence that people see intrinsic value in their own college education (Taylor et al., 2011)and students value their engineering identity (Atman et al., 2010). The intrinsic value of anengineering education is also based on the fact that the systemic thinking of engineers helps onebe a better citizen in a society that relies on complex technologies.There have been notable successes and milestones in the
