Even though recent years have seen significant advances in LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) equality in the U.S. through legislation and social acceptance, research shows that LGBTQ students and faculty on college campuses still experience exclusion and...

Diversity in K-12 CS education across the U.S.

Hong H, Wang J, Moghadam SH.
UIID-AD: 4320
2016; doi: 10.1109/RESPECT.2016.7836166.

This multi-year research study examines knowledge and perceptions of computer science (CS), disparities in access, and barriers to offering CS. In particular, the analysis identifies differences by demographic to gain insight into inequities in CS. The first year of...

Enhancing mechanics education through shared assessment design.

Hadgraft RG, Lowe D, Lawson J.
UIID-AD: 4199
2016;

There is considerable commonality between engineering undergraduate programs in terms of content, pedagogies, course structures and assessment practices, particularly in terms of engineering fundamentals such as mechanics. Despite this, and the availability of an array of online resources, there...

Fundamental research: Characterizing underrepresented students' interest in engineering careers and their teachers' beliefs about practices.

Svihla V.
UIID-AD: 4306
2016;

Despite efforts to diversify engineering, gaps persist, with few Latino/as becoming engineers. The Southwest US is an ideal place to characterize student interest development in engineering, and to relate that interest to perceptions of instructional practices. This study contributes...

Into the light: Diffusing ccontroversy and increasing transparency in the faculty salary equity study process.

Bailey MB, Marchetti CE.
UIID-AD: 4238
2016;

Women are underrepresented in most science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines within academe and the workforce. In response, the National Science Foundation launched the ADVANCE grant program in the early 2000's to fund efforts which increase the representation...

Investigating the role of interaction, attitudes, and intentions for enrollment and persistence in engineering among underrepresented minority students.

Dika SL, Pando MA, Tempest B.
UIID-AD: 4158
2016;

One of the most significant challenges facing engineering education in the United States is the persistent problem of inclusion and retention of certain racial and ethnic groups - particularly blacks and Latinos. This paper, part of the NSF Awardees...

Landscape of K-12 computer science education in the U.S.: Perceptions, access, and barriers.

Hong H, Wang J, Moghadam SH, Ravitz J.
UIID-AD: 4321
2016;645-650. doi: 10.1145/2839509.2844628.

Through surveys of 1,673 students, 1,685 parents, 1,013 teachers, 9,693 principals, and 1,865 superintendents across the United States, this study explores perceptions, access, and barriers to computer science education at the K-12 level. We found most respondents were unable...

Levels of Student Participation and Stages of Relevant Curriculum.

Campbell PB, Hu HH.

As part of the POGIL Teaching to Increase Diversity and Equity in STEM (TIDES) project, seven instructors at five institutions adopted Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) activities for their first-year courses. These POGIL activities were designed to regularly...

Metrics for efficacy in FIRST robotics programs: Aligning ABET engineering student outcomes with K-12 STEM educational practices.

Fletcher S, Haag S.
UIID-AD: 4177
2016;

Robotics programs for youth are critical to the nation's overall science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) development. However, little research has focused on broader impacts and efficacy of national robotics initiatives. Metrics for standardizing assessment have not been established....

Perspective of teenagers on traits and research associated with electrical and Computer Engineers and their research.

Winikus J, Archer G.
UIID-AD: 4329
2016; doi: 10.1109/FIE.2016.7757647.

Gender and diversity balance issues are prominent in the field of engineering. The way engineers and their research are perceived are two areas that contribute to youth deciding on careers in science and engineering. The perceptions of the youth...

Programming Boot Camp to retain women in IT: An experience report.

Nagel K, Napier N, Dekhane S.
UIID-AD: 4153
