learning experiences in CS programs. Keywords—computer science, course sequence, curriculum design, higher education I. INTRODUCTION With rapid technological advancements, computer scientists are needed more than ever tosupport our nation’s economy and global competitiveness. However, approximately 59% ofcollege students in computer science (CS) programs drop out [1]. Many efforts have been madeto reduce this rate [e.g., 2, 3]. One area of research that has been examined to reduce this highattrition rate is CS course and curricula design [4, 5, 6]. Investigating the CS undergraduateprogram is important for finding strategic ways to improve student learning and motivation tocontinue in the CS

However, as the term has become more popularized and mainstream, definitions ofintersectionality – and what it means to do (or not do) “intersectional” research – have shiftedover time [2]. Since its first use in engineering education literature in 2009 [3], intersectionalityhas gained steadily increasing prevalence in engineering education research, highlighting theneed to unpack its definitions, meanings, operationalization, and utilization within the context ofengineering education.

From this understanding, engineering educators can develop activitiesand assignments that foster these attitudes and enforce practice in the activities of lifelonglearners.IntroductionIn the West, the educational system shows signs of an imminent failure. Whether by design,negligence, or ignorance, graduates from American high schools lack critical thinking andmastery of basic knowledge to be successful in life, higher education, or engineering [1]–[5]. Inmany ways, the current educational moment has forgotten its two-fold aim: “the systematicdevelopment and cultivation of powers of mind and body” and “the systematic inculcation

This has necessitatedthat engineers of today work in collaborative environments to solve problems in global contexts.Undergraduate engineering education needs to focus on training engineers who can work ineffective teams whose members are diverse in geographic location, origin, skills, and culture [1],[2], [3], [4].

Innovative design is iterative, requiring continuous learning and improvementas well as consistent effort after setbacks without succumbing to self-doubt, which are thehallmarks of a growth mindset. Interestingly, the standard chemical engineering curriculum, ingeneral, does not have any built-in initiatives to develop a growth mindset in undergraduatestudents.
