Further, most studies of persistence look at drop-out rates [3], [5], [7], [9] wherepersistence is the expectation. Since there are currently few degree programs in ML/AI, there are aplethora of ways a student may end up working in ML/AI, and we know little about these pathways.Statistics show that the field of ML/AI lacks diversity; currently only 32% of AI professionals arewomen [23], and though field-specific assessments of racial demographics are still underway, only7% of professionals in broader computer occupations are Black [24].

With the proliferation of out-of-school STEM opportunities comes theneed for evaluating their effectiveness in developing and maintaining interest in STEM, as wellas establishing guidelines for future program development. To provide this practical guidance toprogram developers, it is particularly important to understand how the actual mechanism ofinterest development is supported by the learning environment of an effective out-of-schoolprogram. Several methodological approaches exist to assess interest and its development,including: self-report surveys, short and long term retrospective interviews, and in situobservation.

That is, student-parent dyads were formed, and the correlationsbetween parents and their children were studied.Second, some of the current research on STEM interventions fails to leverage modernmethodological practices as fully as possible. On the quantitative front, research must movebeyond simply reporting occurrences and displaying bar charts. Considerations of statisticalsignificance, knowledge of underlying distributional assumptions, dealing with low cell-countsin tables, and careful handling of the conversion of Likert scales to quantitative data are oftenoverlooked. This paper works to clean up such practices by establishing statistical significanceusing tests that rest on few distributional and minimum-cell

Another approach requires students to achievea minimum individual assessment score before they are allowed to continue to the participate in ateam-based assessment [21].

The meeting minutes recorded these responses toprovide continuity for the spring quarter discussion.Some key suggestions and issues that resulted from the six independent plans were: • Most of the ARCE courses in the current quarter-based curriculum are 3 units offered over a ten-week quarter. If the same course and content is offered in the fifteen-week semester system, it would need to be 2 units to be equivalent. Using this conversion, faculty members will have an incredible number of preparations and the work load would certainly be increased -- potentially
