For example, Canes and Rosen8 compareenrollment and employment data from 1973-1989 at Princeton, the University of Michigan, andWhittier College. Although unable to show a causal relationship between the gendercomposition of the faculty and undergraduate science and engineering majors, they stress theimportance of having women on the faculty to increase diversity in science and engineeringdisciplines since the “role-model concept” will “encourage female students to pursue careers inscience and engineering by providing greater visibility for women scientists and engineers

reviewed and considered efforts toredesign first-year engineering experiences at colleges and universities across the country andidentified skills that would better prepare first-year students for success in their future coursesand careers. A major recommendation was the adoption of a new two-course sequence for first-year students. This sequence will replace the current one-unit introductory seminar course forfirst-year engineering and computer science students.A backward design process — that began with student learning outcomes and produced contentand assignments that would support these outcomes — was used by a subsequent summerworking group to develop plans for the two-course sequence.

Social science grants are considerably smaller than those inengineering, even without industry funding. This makes it difficult to build a research group thatcentres engineering culture as a topic of inquiry. If we really care about equity and social justicein engineering, we need to identify institutional strategies to fill the resource gap withoutdepending on corporate fundraising by individual faculty members.Lesson 4: Rapid-fire collective coding privileges experts over novices and practice over theoryIn 2019, I led a team of engineers and social scientists through the analysis of 29 career historyinterviews.

Abstract Your Voice is Power is a curriculum that seeks to promote racial equity and increaseinterest in computing careers by integrating elements of computing, music, social justice, self-expression, and entrepreneurship. The curriculum consists of five modules lasting 60-90 minuteseach. Students engage with music through lyrical analysis to extract and explore present themesof social justice using the OUTKAST Imagination framework. Students then engage withmusical concepts from a computing perspective to create their own remixes using EarSketch, aweb-based, learn-to-code through music platform developed at Georgia Institute of Technology(Georgia Tech). These elements are further supported by discussions around racial justice andthe

However, co-op experiences have been shown tohave the potential of adding to the psychological distress of students [9], reducing overallwellbeing.

Another approach was taken by Korach andGargac [8] where they re-vamped first-year curriculum by incorporating active learning exercisesinto the existing curriculum. Korach and Gargac [8] found that both instructors and studentsbenefited from the addition of entrepreneurial mindset activities. Instructors found the activitiesbetter engaged students in the course and generated excitement around the engineering field whilethe students developed beneficial skills for a successful career.

Beyond learning,Jimmy did not see too much value in extracurricular activities.

This decision seems to align well with Jimmy’searlier assertion that responsibility and
