In a study of academic administrative andprofessional positions, Sagaria found that “fit was also a code word for appropriate culturalcapital and the expectation that a candidate's language, presentation, appearance, and style ofsocial interaction were the kind search chairs valued and felt comfortable with” [5]. “Fit” is alsovery vague, as it lacks definition of specific parameters [3]. Rubrics are one way that is often recommended to promote equity and reduce bias infaculty hiring as well as graduate admissions and performance assessments [6-8]. There islimited evidence that they lead to more equitable hiring, though one

measures beyond formative surveys are needed. In engineering outreachprograms for underrepresented students this provides a particular challenge. While facultydeveloping courses and curricula can use student grades as one type of outcomes measure,recruiting events and retention activities need additional data to understand whether or notobjectives and goals of programming are being met. Or, put simply, “What is working; what isnot?” The most straightforward way to do this is to document activities thoroughly to gain anunderstanding who is participating, how often, and whether participation in particular activitiescorrelates with higher retention and recruitment results.Even when data beyond survey results are collected, they are not always easy to
Students to Navigate Technical InterviewsAbstractObtaining a computing position can entail hiring practices distinct from other domains in thatthey frequently involve technical interviews, an approach which emphasizes real-time evaluationof programming abilities. Apart from requiring that job candidates find the correct solution, theyare also encouraged to find one that is efficient and optimal while also speaking through theirthinking. Although computing students may be familiar with the theoretical and foundationaltopics necessary to succeed, traversing the employment process may be particularly daunting andnecessitate immense preparation. To better understand how education may enhance students’readiness, we conducted a focus

In his book, Three Cups of Tea,Greg Mortenson describes the motivation for his campaign of promoting peace through education asfollows: “If we try to resolve terrorism with military might and nothing else, then we will be no safer thanwe were before 9/11. If we truly want a legacy of peace for our children, we need to understand that this isa war that will ultimately be won with books, not with bombs.”A by-product of the poor educational system is a shortage of engineers and the accompanying poor state ofcivil infrastructure that permeates the country. In addressing this problem, the national leadership ofAfghanistan is working to
developed their own hardware andcurriculum to ensure that visually impaired students would receive the same educationalexperience as their sighted peers.a. Existing Literature Vision-based teaching methods have become ubiquitous in the modern mechanical engineeringcurriculum through the universal adoption of computer-based tools in both the classroom andlaboratory. However, this heavy reliance on a vision-based teaching and engineering practice doesnot consider the needs of visually impaired students. This gap in accessibility is even morechallenging in engineering laboratory courses. Globally, over 250 million people live with some form of visual impairment, according to astudy done by the CDC in 2017 [1]. In the US, of the over 20 million

STATEMENT OF ISEUC• To provide academic software engineering expertise globally to those with the need to know now, from those in the know: This is a one-liner to indicate the “just-in-time” approach vs. the “just-in-case” one.• Lifelong learning: This is required on the part of people performing quality software development -- ISEUC provides easy access to them for such learning, via a combination of distributed and face-to-face learning.• Expand the scope of SE courses: Software Engineering educators should expand the scope of their courses beyond their campuses to reach these developers -- ISEUC provides the infrastructure to do this.3. BROAD OBJECTIVES FOR ISEUCThe objectives include: Increase the number of Software Engineering

In fact they are 8.5 times more likely to leave in theirsecond year of college than their counterparts. This is a critical juncture for engineering studentsin their curriculum as well. To compound the dropout rate, student enrolled at a privateuniversity were 35% less likely to leave than their public school peers [26].May and Chubin point to disproportionate resources at home and in the K-12 systems that limitsprogression in STEM of first generation students. This leads to a

atMichigan Tech showed that only 42% of students majoring in engineering with low SV skillsgraduated in their major. However, through the implementation of a single class in SV training,the retention rate of students with low SV skills increased to 64% (an increase of 52%). Theoverall GPA for students at risk from dropping their engineering major increased from 2.64 to3.00.The strength of this data has led the National Science Foundation (NSF) to create the ENGAGE4program that has supported SV courses at 30 universities starting in 2010. However, this is just asmall fraction of the universities in the United States. Accordingly, there is a need to make SVeducation available to a wide audience (beginning in K-12 education) at low cost
