: What’s turning students away from computer science and engineering?Abstract. The current, sharp decline in interest in computer science and engineering (CSE)motivates our investigation of why beginning undergraduates reject CSE as a major. We presenta thematic analysis of 14 semi-structured interviews with pre-major undergraduates newlyenrolled in the first introductory CSE course (generically referred to as “CS1”) at a large, publicresearch university. Our findings illustrate a range of well-formed, negative perceptions aboutCSE. Many students’ concerns had little to do with the intellectual content of the discipline andinstead focused on the culture and lifestyle associated with academic and professional life inCSE

science.IntroductionDepending on the field or the university, women sometimes comprise but a small minority of thedoctoral students in engineering or science departments. But just over 100 years ago, womenwere not formally admitted at all to doctoral programs at any university in the United States.Although they weren’t officially accepted into graduate school at that time, many women didfind ways to get in, usually as “special” or nondegree students. In 1870, for example, EllenSwallow Richards applied to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a graduate degree inchemistry. She was admitted, but as a special student who was seeking a second bachelor’sdegree (her first one was from Vassar). MIT, it was argued, didn’t want its first graduatechemistry degree

needs of science students, it is imperative for us not to focus primarily onexperiments involving only engineering applications.On-Line Lab ExperimentsThe current lab facilities have been further enhanced by adding experimental set-ups with on-linecapabilities. The purpose of installing these set-ups is to provide students with an opportunity toperform experiments that cannot be carried out during regular lab hours due to time constraints 3.This technology is particularly cost effective in cases where it is prohibitively expensive toinstall more than one set-up of the experiment. In addition, it offers ample flexibility for thestudents to conduct experiment at their own convenience. These set-ups allow multiple users toaccess the experiment by

Some of thosedemands relate to calls for a curriculum that would:• integrate skills in communication, teamwork, and leadership into technical courses,• establish a solid base in mathematics and science,• expose students to economics and socio-political implications of engineering works,• use mechanics and risk-based decision analysis as common threads,• provide a broad-based undergraduate education,• present specialized education at the upper undergraduate and graduate levels, and Page 4.403.1• emphasize

Thesecase studies are based on design calculations or are developed from experimental data obtained byME seniors within their design and lab courses, honors theses, graduate student theses, Co-opexperiences (with appropriate permissions), and data from the literature (e.g., NACA reports).Analysis of real data, often within a design framework, provides strong motivation for students tolearn basic material in context with real-world
