I does not satisfy ageneral university requirement and satisfies a major requirement for very few majors outside ofcomputer science and computer engineering. Second, the majority of students who take the non-majors section are upperclassmen (see Table 2). We speculate that offering a computing programthat students would enter at an early stage in their academic careers and also receive a minordegree would significantly encourage incorporating computing into their undergraduateeducation. In the meantime, we need to formulate better methods to reach and motivateunderclassmen. Semester Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior Other Spring 2018 1 2 6 8

It was observations such as these that motivated a second, qualitative phaseof analysis.The qualitative analysis was guided by a necessary rejection of the second assumption of thequantitative phase.
