We identified three most challenging points related to diverse, equitable, and inclusive (DEI) issues. First, the majority of our students entering the College lack the math skills essential to success in Calculus, as basic as College…
In this volume, we encouraged a broad array of submissions that highlight issues of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in introductory mathematics programs with special attention to precalculus, differential calculus, and integral…
Justice-centered approaches to equitable computer science (CS) education frame CS learning as a means for advancing peace, antiracism, and social justice rather than war, empire, and corporations. However, most research in justice-centered…
Early exposure to Computer Science (CS) for all is critical to broaden participation and promote equity in the field. But how does introducting CS into primary school curricula impact learning, perception, and gaps between groups of…
How can an entire CS faculty, who together have been teaching the ACM standard CS curricula, shift to teaching elements of inclusive design across a 4-year undergraduate CS program? And will they even want to try? To investigate these…
Introduction: Digital products increasingly reshape industries, influencing human behavior and decision-making. However, the software development teams developing these systems often lack diversity, which may lead to designs that overlook…
Background: Diversity, equity, and inclusion are rooted in the very origins of software engineering, shaped by the contributions from many individuals from underrepresented groups to the field. Yet today, DEI efforts in the industry face…
Not long ago, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives were a top priority for leading software companies. However, in a short period, a wave of backlash has led many firms to re-assess their DEI strategies. Responding to this DEI…
The ubiquity of technology in our daily lives and the economic stability of the technology sector in recent years, especially in areas with a computer science footing, has led to an increase in computer science enrollment in many parts of…
Modern society is diverse, multicultural, and multifaceted. Because of these characteristics, we are currently observing an increase in the debates about equity, diversity, and inclusion in different areas, especially because several groups…
Coding forms a key part of computer science education in universities. As part of this education, Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) are essential tools for coding. However, it is currently unknown how the design of an IDE's…
In recent years, there has been rising interest from both governments and private industry in developing software that is accessible to all, including people with disabilities. However, the computer science (CS) courses that ought to…
Computer science education is a dynamic field with many aspects that influence the learner's path. While these aspects are usually studied in depth separately, it is also important to carry out broader large-scale studies that touch on many…
Although CS programs are booming, introductory courses like CS1 still adopt a one-size-fits-all formats that can exacerbate cognitive load and discourage learners with autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other neurological conditions. These call for…
Computer science attracts few women, and their proportion decreases through advancing career stages. Few women progress to PhD studies in CS after completing master's studies. Empowering women at this stage in their careers is essential to…
Even with recent increases in enrollments, computer science departments in the United States are not producing the number of graduates that the computing workforce needs, an issue that impacts the scientific and economic growth of our…
With the number of Computer Science (CS) jobs on the rise, there is a greater need for Computer Science graduates than ever. At the same time, most CS departments across the country are only seeing 25 to 30 percent of female students in…
Over the past decade, undergraduate Computer Science (CS) programs across the nation have experienced an explosive growth in enrollment as computational skills have proven increasingly important across many domains and in the workforce at…
This article provides resources to design effective diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) interventions in physics settings. It summarizes critiques of DEI interventions and reviews research findings suggesting that DEI interventions show…
The advent of Artificial Intelligence is expected to imply profound changes in the short-term. It is therefore imperative for Academia, and particularly for the Computer Science scope, to develop cross-disciplinary tools that bond AI…
