c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 The Impact of STEM Experiences on Student Self-Efficacy in Computational Thinking and Computer Science Abstract: Since the introduction of new curriculum standards at K-12 schools, computational thinking has become a major research area. Creating and delivering content to enhance these skills, as well as evaluation, remain open problems. This paper describes two different interventions based on the Scratch programming language which aim to improve student self-efficacy in computer science and computational thinking. The two interventions were applied at a STEM outreach program for 5th-9th grade students. Previous experience in

IntroductionThis paper explores the pathway for industry professionals to change careers and become fulltime academics at a four-year traditional university. Herein, “traditional” is defined as “brickand mortar” institutes of higher education with a campus providing residence for undergraduates.The pathway is explored using anecdotal evidence from a review of literature and case studiesprovided by two of this paper’s authors that have made a successful transition from industrialcareers into academia. Both case studies involve moves from
