AI/ML [63], CS support programs may be a promisingopportunity to further engage and motivate socially-oriented students in the field. As suggestedby previous work for AI/ML [64], retaining socially-oriented students may also promote genderdiversity since women show higher levels of ‘social benefit interest’ than their peers who do notidentify as women [63].While our study demonstrated that inspiration from instructors’ displays of support andenthusiasm for CS inspired students’ plan for social impact in CS, we also acknowledge that CSsupport programs have the potential to better address socially-oriented interests. This may beachieved by introducing students to speakers in CS backgrounds with obvious social impact,such as healthcare [64
inengineering. Al-Sanad and Koushki [31] and Aswad et al. [24] discuss the importance of policyinterventions in Qatar and the UAE. Mehran [39] highlights how institutional support andeducational reforms help in closing the gender gap. Using these policy interventions on a widerscale, despite creating more fair opportunities for women, will effectively increase the quality anddiversity of the engineering workforce. Implementing measures such as awarding scholarships,creating flexible programs and career promotion plans will encourage and support women topursue and succeed. In addition to achievement, the impact of such actions contributes to broadereconomic growth and innovation, as a diverse workforce is recognized as a key driver of creativityand

, as discussed previously. The authors considered attempting acomparison of student learning outcomes between these two cohorts. However, deconvolutingthe effects of the project alone versus other confounding variables (remote instruction versus in-person learning for core courses, transfer versus 4-year students, and instructor differences)would not have been possible. Given the overwhelmingly positive student response to theprojects, the authors have no plans to remove the project from the curriculum in the future toperform such a comparison, as doing so may negatively impact the cohort not assigned the groupproject. A more extensive survey of the cohort of students completing the project in all 6courses, however, is a subject of ongoing
