materials [3, 4, 5]. Theproblem has also prompted a number of technological advances and design solutions [6, 3]. As afield, we have moved forward. However, there remains a significant gap in making introductoryprogramming courses accessible to all students.Students in introductory programming classes come from diverse backgrounds and have a widerange of interests. Some have completed comprehensive introductory computing courses in highschools, while others have not. Some students have access to a rich ecosystem of computingresources, whilst others do not. These characteristics are heavily influenced by larger historical,social, and economic challenges. Individual abilities and interests also differ. Some students areless comfortable exploring

program curriculum.IntroductionAs an applied field, engineering education has long understood the importance of relevance inour programs. The strength of an industry appears highly correlated to the strength of the scienceand engineering knowledge in that industry [1]. So a strong link between our educationalprograms and the industries we serve must be nurtured. We must first understand industry needsbefore we can develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values our students require to besuccessful. Without this understanding, the likely result is a skills gap which can cause juniorengineers to struggle when attempting to secure their first job. This gap has implications for howindustry, faculty, applicants, and the general public perceive
