The number of female students choosing computer science as their major remainsunderrepresented regardless of recent efforts. Some noted reasons behind this statistic arechallenges in the curriculum that lessen students’ motivation in CS majors (Ibáñez et al., 2014;Carbonaro et al., 2010), for example, programming courses are often identified as being negativelyviewed by students and cited as requiring more practice (Azmi et

The results are expected as the industrial engineering program requiresmore programming-related courses than the other three programs, providing them withopportunities to work with a wider range of programming tools. While this course mainly usesPython, the background differences could still affect students’ general programming attitudes.Industrial engineering students are generally interested in programming, and mechanical andmaterials science students are closer to the neutral level of interest.

A spatial skills training program was then implementedfor those who scored below a threshold of 70% on the PSVT:R. Students who elected toparticipate in the spatial skills training program were offered two tracks, dubbed the “direct” and“indirect” approaches.

Although convenient for employers and employees, there remain a number ofquestions regarding effectiveness and quality of distance instruction as compared to that offeredin traditional classrooms. As indicated by many studies exploring student and educatorperceptions regarding distance education [1] [2] [3] [4], the potential for greater convenience,autonomy, and affordability render it ideal for many students.

We had heard anecdotally that one way for transitioning programsto get into accreditation difficulties was to not hold existing students to the new program standards,so we were determined not to fall into that trap, and documenting what we did was a significantportion of that effort.
