In a study12 where researchers comparedlearning outcomes in a management class, taught using lecture-based methods versus activelearning methods, an improvement of one standard deviation was demonstrated with regard tolong-term memory and use of concepts over time for the active learning group8.

Many of these challenges areheavily impacted by public school funding, which is often based on the tax-base in schooldistricts [8] and the population density in certain areas [9]. Given that some rural communitiesexperience poverty and are relatively small in size, this often means that schools do not receivesufficient funding.On the other hand, rural places, communities, and schools are often said to be tight knit, whichcan provide a wealth of opportunities to engage in unique ways. For engineering and STEMeducation, this is particularly important. For example, connecting students with local experts

One of the conclusions of thatstudy is that engineering education innovation requires, at the least, engineering and educationexpertise working in continual cycles of educational practice and research.The committee surveyed the College of Engineering faculty on their topics of interest, anddecided on a format of a continuing series of one-hour sessions, led by SDSU engineeringfaculty. Over the last five semesters there have been twelve discussion sessions, on topics suchas teaching on-line, engaging students in the classroom, rubrics, assessment, active learning, andacademic quality and rigor.

Moreover, Ellis andMorelli [13] proposed focusing on FOSS projects with humanitarian purposes to further exposestudents to social impacts of computing. While these approaches offer unique benefits, FOSScontributor teams are globally distributed and consequently, it is not plausible to adhere to theAgile principle of communicating face-to-face [5]. Likewise, from our observations, the FOSScommunity has a concentration of software developers and not nearly as many business people,often making it difficult to fulfill the principle of developers working with

The introduction and use of learning portfolios will accomplishthis. Learning portfolios are narrative statements written by students about their learning experi-ences, viz, what they have done, what they have learned, a honest assessment of themselves interms of the multiple competencies desired, in this case, for future work in engineering, and anidentification of what they need to learn next to further their professional development as

or just a desired outcome if we can afford it. The goal of this paper is to present a literature review about equity in computing education and to propose a definition of equity so we can engage the community in a collective, professional, and productive dialogue about equity. We hope that such dialogue would enable us to move forward on assessing equity and thus broadening participation in computing. The definition presented is adapted from equity in health and mirrors prior definitions of equity highlighting the difference between equity and equality. We close with some concrete suggestions on how to use the definition to define actions that CS programs could implement as part of an equity

Currently 2.6 billionpeople have no access to toilets10. Most of these people are forced to defecate in the open,and lose their dignity and self-respect while making themselves vulnerable to violenceand life threatening disease. Engaging with this issue in collaboration with a partnerorganization in India allows students to experience their role as engineers in context ofthe world they would like to change and improve and this program creates theopportunity for them, as well as for the underserved communities they wish to work with,to thrive.This curriculum aims at educating

The relationship began toevolve into one where the students worked more independently, often on research that the facultymentor was not involved with. This reduced integration of graduate education and organizedresearch activity occurred at the same time that professional graduate education began to emerge.Professional graduate education, which was intended to provide a more market-drivenpractitioner rather than a researcher, reduced the need for graduate research experiences11.As
