Abstract Background The affinity research group (ARG) model is a set of practices built on cooperative team framework to support the creation and maintenance dynamic inclusive groups in which students learn apply knowledge skills required for work. Using situated learning theory, we conducted qualitative study current former ARG members understand potential preparing graduate school professional careers. Purpose Our investigated how influenced students, particularly those from...
Abstract This paper presents an innovative approach, applicable to all research-based fields, which identifies and broadly engages future computer science researchers. The Computing Alliance of Hispanic Serving Institutions (CAHSI) piloted a national virtual Research Experience for Undergraduates (vREU) during the summer 2020. Funded by NSF grant, goal program was ensure that students, in particular those with financial need, had opportunities engage research gain critical skills while...
<p class="Body">Less than 20% of undergraduates earning a degree in engineering are women, and even more alarming is minority women earn mere 3.1% those degrees. This paper reports on qualitative study examining Latinas’ identity development toward undergraduate computer science studies using sociocultural theory learning. Three major themes emerged from the data analysis: 1) Engineering support clusters as affinity spaces contributing to identities; 2) Mexican or Mexican-American...
Abstract The national need to transform STEM education is paramount, as evidenced by the persistent gap in degree attainment between whites and minorities, which continues be a wide chasm spite of greater numbers minority students entering into studies compared ten years ago. This may attributed part systemic problem growing number undergraduate who are unable continue their because inability pass pre-calculus, gateway calculus, requirement for all majors. paper presents preliminary findings...
Abstract According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in computer occupations grew by nearly a factor 20 between 1975 and 2015. In spite boom science enrollments that has tripled Ph.D.-granting institutions since 2006, these are not enough fill available jobs now or distant future. To address this demand for computing professionals, National Science Foundation selected Computing Alliance Hispanic-Serving Institutions (CAHSI) 2018 serve as lead partner backbone an...

Abstract The Computing Alliance of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (CAHSI), a NSF national INCLUDES alliance, is focused on advancing students in attaining credentials computing, and this Work Progress (WIP) paper focuses its latest effort undergraduate computer science majors into graduate school to address the low numbers Hispanics, or Latinx, degrees science. Using diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) framework, CAHSI expands adoption evidence-based, multi-institutional support structures...

Full paper, Research-to-Practice. With the nation's continuing shortage of scientists and engineers, there is an urgent need for diverse students, especially Hispanic to enter complete science, technology, engineering math (STEM) education at all levels. Contributing factors low representation in STEM areas are lack youth's exposure engaging relevant experiences with science their early stages development Latino as role models that visible, tangible, real, inspiring communities. In addition,...
The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and the Franklin W. Olin College Engineering (Olin) are establishing a student-centered hands-on interactive approach to engineering education (similar Olin's) UTEP, where it will reside in UTEP's innovative B.S. Leadership (LE) program. goal proposed collaboration is catalyze educational innovation through cross-campus between two institutions by incorporating process, both design features, into first offerings Bachelor Science (BSLE) Specifically,...
Peer teaching and peer mentoring is in use at many colleges universities the United States an effort to improve undergraduate education.At University of Texas El Paso (UTEP), peer-led team learning (PLTL) being used Departments Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer Science (CS).In CS, we have enhanced traditional PLTL sessions by incorporating active cooperative sessions.Early evaluation data suggests that this approach effective improving competency students reducing failure rate early CS sequence.

Designers drew on theory...
The Affinity Research Group (ARG) is a model of undergraduate research that extends the experience to broad range students by providing opportunities learn and integrate knowledge skills are required for with those cooperative work. ARG creates an integrated environment in which collective diverse faculty contribute effort. framework pedagogy enable create sustain explicitly develops needed success research, academe, workforce. This paper describes qualitative design used investigate ARG....
Most professions have reached gender equity with the exception of computer science and engineering. To understand mitigating factors influencing Latinas' enrollment persistence in engineering science, an interdisciplinary team scholars at a majority Hispanic four-year institution has undertaken three-year project to explore these phenomena. The following overarching question guided us: What is relationship among identity, resilience, Latinas engineering? study was framed using sociocultural...
The term "counter-intuitive" (CI) refers to a problem that appears have an obvious, simple answer yet displays behavior opposite "common sense." By using these puzzles we been able demonstrate ability create "learning moments" for students. This translated improved student learning. Essentially real world application give students something think about and challenge their way of thinking so they more deeply engage in the learning activity. two major challenges are: (1) developing robust...

Involving diverse individuals who bring different perspectives, experiences, and disciplinary knowledge in solving problems is critical our nation's ability to innovate compete a global economy. Unfortunately, the trends number of graduates with advanced degrees, particular ethnically racially citizens permanent residents, are insufficient meet current future national needs. This exacerbated computing, which one least fields. Despite growth numbers Hispanics nationally their representation...
