, Retaining and Graduating More Women in Computer Science and Math Abstract We report on the CS/M Scholars Program which is supported by an NSF S-STEM grant that began in 2011. The program aims to increase the number of women graduating with degrees in Computer Science or Mathematics. It is well known that women are under- represented in these fields nationally and this is also the case at our university. Our efforts include targeted recruitment of female high school students with a record of academic achievement and leadership potential. In addition to providing scholarships, student success is bolstered by required first-year seminars, early advising, and monthly events focused on professional
fields that comprise pre-secondaryinstruction. This can limit their understanding of STEM content. Fellows offer rich contentknowledge in their fields. Fellows benefit from being in the classroom by developing moreeffective communication and teaching skills.2 This experience strengthens fellows’ abilities tocommunicate in research teams and prepares future Ph.D.’s to offer effective college instruction.It has also been found that classrooms with a fellow report more positive attitudes with respect toscience than those that did not have a fellow by the end of the year.4Grade Level Adaptions Fellows have many opportunities to implement the lesson plans that are presented at theworkshop or that they themselves create with partner teachers

evolve both the CT-integrated activities and the research instruments for the most effective curriculum design. The curriculum will follow design principles and inclusive engineering experiences from Cunningham and Lachapell [21] and follow a 5-E constructivist model of engage, explore, explain, elaborate and evaluate [22]. CT thinking practices were pulled by the university research team from Weintrop et al.’s Taxonomy of CT [23] for integration with STEM. Those practices include Data Collection, Data Creation, Understanding a System as a Whole, Understanding the Relationship Between Parts of a System, Preparing Problems for Computational Solutions, a bit of Programming, and Using Computational Models to Solve a Problem.

See, for example, Spady’s work [2,3], which examines CBL for public K-12 education.There are many publications that discuss CBL in different settings. Henri, et al. [4] presented acomprehensive review in 2017. They indicate that CBL may be beneficial for the success of adiverse student body and may also serve the needs of industry, which needs a cadre of engineerswho have mastered fundamental engineering skills. Discussions of implementation of a varietyof CBL-related methods in engineering programs have been published, such as [5] and [6]. Somepapers focus heavily on CBL for the “soft skills” embedded within engineering programs, suchas [7]. Studies analyzing a wide range of

In 2016about 45% of freshmen indicated they planned to major in an S&E field (up from about 8% in2000); [1]. While the number of degrees awarded in the STEM fields has increased steadily inthe past 10 years, only 16% of bachelor’s degrees awarded were engineering degrees. Best practices (i.e

KEEN “3Cs” - Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value.ReflectionIt is a practice of human nature to reflect on experiences of the past and present. However, in thecase of reflection, most people fail to recognize the use of these experiences to aid in the future.True reflection “on experience can be framed as an intentional and dialectical thinking processwhere an individual revisits features of an experience with which he/she is aware and uses one ormore lenses in order to assign meaning(s) to the experience that can guide future action (and thusfuture experience)” [1]. It takes various elements and perspectives to achieve reflective thinking.Schon simplified reflection down to two categories known as “reflection-on-action” and“reflection
personalized for each student, covering the topics needed, and progressing at the pace chosen by the student. At the onset, the student completes a self-test. The questions cover all the topics to be covered in an upcoming math course. Once in the math course, the instructor would expect the student to know all the prerequisite topics. However, this theoretical expectation is not always matched in practice. Upon completion of the self-test, the student is aware of the percentage of prerequisite topics s/he has mastered. ALEKS will then provide tutorials, along with quizzes, to ensure the student covers all the gaps that remain. 2.3.
