We also found that the efforts to create a community, using programs,are beneficial to belonging and success.As per the Integrated Interest Development for CS Education (IID/CS) framework [32], matchingcollege students’ interests contributes to increasing diverse students’ sense of belonging in CS,which also can improve retention. Moreover, Garcia et al. [33] showed that incorporatingelements of inclusive design in “regular” CS (non Human-Computer Interaction) courses acrossan undergraduate curriculum resulted in significant improvements in students’ course outcomes,especially for marginalized groups, and that also significantly improved inclusion and teamworkin the

To develop new and better-suited educational approaches that serve to meet the ASCEvision, along with current industry trends, technology was studied in a capstone setting as part ofan ongoing curriculum enhancement to be more industry mimicking. Over the last 10 years,trends were monitored focusing on how communication, collaboration, and project managementsoftware impacted student teams and their results. It should be noted in this study, projectmanagement software is considered outside of learning management software (LMS) thatuniversities often use.

Post Hoc Tukey’s pairwise multiple comparison tests reveals consistency in performance up to the period of the semester where possible dropouts would have occurred. Students’ delay in tackling challenging projects also accounts for the significant differences in the mean scores.IntroductionTime plays an important role in decision making in every human endeavor – from personal tobusiness/management decisions.

With U.S. demographic projections indicating a growth indiversity of the population, we can anticipate an increasingly diverse population ofundergraduate students. In preparation for this shift in demographics and in response to historicalissues of diversity in STEM, it is important that we begin to rethink our offerings of studentsupport.The larger project in which this paper is situated aims to help colleges improve their studentsupport investments by developing and testing the validity evidence for an instrument
