One state considered a CS course to need to include all five of the followingconcepts: ● Computing systems ● Neworks and the internet ● Data and analysis ● Algorithms and programming ● Impacts of computing.With this approach, a course like Advanced Placement Computer Science - A, which is aprogramming-based course, would not “count” as CS, and yet it is one of only two CS coursesthat can be objectively and consistently measured across the nation. Ultimately, the cohort agreedto a set of courses that would be acceptable for the purposes of

Inthis study SMOTE was utilized to adjust the sample sizes for both subgroups of male and femalestudents with more than one sociotechnical course and increased the size of each group to 50 and60 students, respectively. Technically speaking, we upsampled more than the minimum numberrequired for a SEM analysis to ensure that our analysis not only meets the foundationalprerequisites for SEM but also provides a greater margin of confidence in the structuralrelationships observed within the male and female groups.SMOTE is a well-accepted method for upsampling in machine learning and data science, but

For example, VLs generated interest in thesubject matter via visual attractiveness of the simulation results, allowed students to engage inmore complex experiments virtually, and helped students to develop critical thinking skillsthrough the connection of multiple learning schema, theoretical, experiment and simulation.

Our team’s survey of available courses inengineering programs suggests that many employ textbooks (e.g. [10] [11] [12]) and the “bigthree” ethical frameworks of deontology, consequentialism, and virtue ethics to ground students’understanding of ethics. Recently, some philosophers have challenged the idea of thestraightforward application of ethical theory in engineering education, arguing that formaldiscussion of abstract moral theories may be a less effective approach in such an applied field.Indeed, if engineering students fail to see the relevance of the ethical training they receive, ethicseducation may actually become counter-productive [13] [14].

The level of education observedamong the participants was “Highschool diploma or higher,” (34.5%), and about 28.6% hadsome college education with no diploma. In terms of upper-level education completion, about18% fell into that category.

as a hurdle to get past, and revert to using narrow technical approachesto solving problems and producing technology. Transferring knowledge in one domain (liberalarts) to another (engineering) is difficult.1 One approach that helps students integrate theircontextual, liberal arts education with their technical learning is the use of design norms. Thispaper explores two norms, or guidelines, for technology design: justice and humility. We beginby looking briefly at the design process and defining the design norm in Section 3. Thefollowing section explores the parallel idea of use norms. Section 5 reviews a number of ways todefine justice and concludes with the application of justice as a technology design norm.Similarly, Section 6 applies

Accordingly, this research aims to investigate the influence ofemployment guidance on employment quality through the lens of career readiness.
