mission. In order to achieve the goal the University has to attractthe best candidates across the country. The difficulty is that approximately 90% of thehigh-school graduates in Russia are already admitted to established universities4.Therefore, in order to populate the new University we need to attract applicants fromother professions. For example, one should be able to convince students applying for adegree in economics, physics or mathematics to apply for an IT specialty since therequirements are very similar. Another alternative could be to reach out to the studentsinterested in linguistics, logic or art and encourage them to pursue a career in IT.However, in this paper we propose yet another potential source for future IT specialists

Abstract Laboratory safety poses inherent legal and ethical responsibilities that all engineeringeducation programs in the United States (U.S.) must address. However, developing safer habitsin the creation and testing of engineering design solutions starts long before students enter post-secondary engineering education programs. P-12 engineering education programs are a criticalpartner to develop greater safety awareness and safer habits among prospective engineers andour future workforce. This research utilized data from a national safety study involving 718 P-12engineering educators from 42 U.S. states, specifically focusing on the subsample of 117teachers from middle Atlantic (mid-Atlantic) states.

Some commentators note that using current cases is important, especially since ourstudents, on the whole, are relatively young; they may lack the ability to relate to older cases. Ifindeed, as Czech novelist Milan Kundera suggests in his Book of Laughter and Forgetting,history is a process of forgetting [1], this argument makes sense.However, this author firmly believes that students can involve themselves intellectually andemotionally in historical cases, those older than 50 years, that there is valuable information to begleaned from those cases, and that is it possible to discern whether or not we learn from the past.To that end, this paper examines two historical cases: Triangle Shirtwaist Fire (1911) and theDonora

Of these, only attitude may get at underlying values or beliefs behind biases;however, attitudes have been repeatedly found to be unstable (and thus not easily amenableto training) across contexts52.

For example, in immigrantfamilies often the English-speaking children take on the role of translators and engage in“brokering” with their parents or caregivers, a practice by which they interpret culture, language,and media to their parents to help them understand and to include them in the local community.This phenomenon is particularly common in Hispanic families, and Latina adolescents are themost likely to act as brokers. Engaging in this role improves their communication, problemsolving, and negotiation — all soft skills which are critical to success in computing fields[16, 78, 104].
