While computing programs in the U.S. are experiencing growth in enrollment trends, they are still grappling with matters related to retention and persistence of computing undergraduates. One construct identified by scholars as having an impact on persistence in computing is computing identity which is shaped by constructs such as recognition, perfo...

There is a substantial shortage of students pursuing graduate degrees in computing fields in the United States [1], and when examining participation rates of minoritized populations the disparity is even greater [2]. In order to attract more domestic students to graduate schools in computing it is important to understand what factors encourage or d...

The lack of diversity in computing fields in the United States is a known issue. Students enter the computing fields with the intention of graduating; however, a large number leave and do not persist after enrolling, due to discrimination and biases. This particularly concerns groups already underrepresented in computing fields, such as women, Blac...

1) race, gender, and identity in the engineering workplace; 2) discipline-based education research (with a focus on computer science and computer engineering courses) in order to inform pedagogical practices that garner interest and retain women and minorities in computer-related engineering fields.

In this panel proposal, the goal is to provide a platform for CS and IT educators teaching online courses, to share their experience on designing creative assessment strategies for content heavy CS and IT courses. In the present postsecondary education, it is difficult to find a college or university that does not offer some form of online learning...

Undergraduate program assessment is undertaken by many colleges world-wide in support of their continuous improvement processes. In addition to assuring stakeholders of program quality, assessment is required by major regional and national accrediting agencies. A critical part of the assessment process is the generation of useful data for analysis...
