Hour ofCode is an online event and collection of activities dedicated to teaching the concepts ofprogramming through a simplified drag and drop syntax [25].

Initially, the MITE program was intended to serve as a preparation andrecruitment program for first-generation college students and minority groups in engineering,defined as: women, African-Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans. In 2002, the programwas renamed the Introduction to Engineering, reflecting a conscious decision to make theprogram more overtly inclusive of all demographic groups. The OMP continued to run theprogram and was officially renamed the Center for Diversity in Engineering (CDE) in 2004. Inaddition, in 2003, a new emphasis on hands-on engineering was introduced and material frominteractive engineering teaching kits was incorporated into the ITE program. This included theadoption

Indeed, teaching a systems perspective required a paradigm shifton the part of the instructors. For example, thought processes of the instructors that usedto be implicit must be made explicit
