Diversity, Special Topic: Computing & Technology

Information Technology two of themost ubiquitous STEM fields in the 21 st century. No matter the discipline area, it is clear fromlooking at workplace trends that students’ studies and professional development would benefitfrom exposure to, and comfort with, computing skills such as programming, and increasedfacility in computational thinking. Introducing a broader range of students to coding andcomputational thinking practices has been used as a strategy for broadening participation incomputing (BPC) [1, 2]. There have been numerous calls to bring computational thinking intothe general K-12 curriculum to both improve computational literacy in the next generation andenhance general education (e.g., [3, 4]). A recommended approach to teachers

size that is more reflective of the variedpersonnel in engineering will help us create a more inclusive and well-rounded dataset foranalysis. From this study, anecdotal evidence, at least, has been generated to show that peoplenavigating engineering environments do hold implicit bias. Further work is necessary tounderstand the ways in which eye-tracking can be used to accurately detect such biases.References[1] D. Chubin, G. May and E.
