4 engineering is an art. A constructive art, yes, but still very much an expression of the life experiences that one brings to the drawing board. The quality of what engineers create, from the core approach to the problem being solved all the way to an artifact's usability, are all informed by judgment, sensibilities, passions and taste. A CASE FOR DIVERSITY Greg Papadopoulos, Chief Technology Officer, Sun Microsystems October 5,
5 We as engineers do indeed passionately argue for approach A versus B, and we are limited by the perspectives of those participating in the process how can we possibly decide approach A versus B, or even imagine that there is a C, if we don't tap into a deep well of diverse people and diverse life experiences? A CASE FOR DIVERSITY Greg Papadopoulos, Chief Technology Officer, Sun Microsystems October 5,
6 I believe diversity in the engineering workforce is an absolute necessity. It s not just that it would be nice if we were more diverse; the issue is much more important than that. I believe it is an absolute necessity. A CASE FOR DIVERSITY William A. Wulf President National Academy of Engineering
7 Many people talk about the need for diversity as an issue of equity, in terms of fairness, and that is a potent argument [Another] argument has to do with the fact that white males are becoming a minority in the population of the United States and unless we include more women and underrepresented minorities in the engineering workforce, we are simply not going to have enough engineers to continue to enjoy the lifestyle we have enjoyed for the last century or so A CASE FOR DIVERSITY William A. Wulf President National Academy of Engineering
8 A CASE FOR DIVERSITY I believe that diversity is essential to good engineering! In addition to the issue of fairness and equity, in addition to the issue of numbers, there is an issue of quality. For good engineering, we require a diverse engineering team. William A. Wulf President, National Academy of Engineering &page=8
9 WHY IS DIVERSITY IMPORTANT IN COMPUTING AND TECHNOLOGY? Diversity expands the qualified employee pool It improves the bottom line It enhances innovation It promotes equality
10 BY THE NUMBERS 1.4 million Computer specialist job openings expected in the U.S. by % of these jobs that could be filled by U.S. computing graduates by % of 1.6 million U.S. AP exam-takers were female in 2009 BUT only 18% of those who took a computer science AP exam were female
11 BY THE NUMBERS Participation in computer science AP tests among underrepresented minorities has increased in the past 10 years but is only 11%, compared to 19% of all AP test-takers. Only 4% of AP Computer Science test takers in 2008 were African Americans, although African Americans represented 7% of all AP test takers. Only 784 African American students nationwide took the AP Computer Science exam.
12 KEY FACTS ABOUT COMPUTER SCIENCE By 2016, current government projections show that more than 800,000 high-end computing jobs will be created in the economy, making it one of the fastest growing occupational fields. Five of the top ten fastest growing jobs will be in computing-related fields ( i.e., computer software engineer jobs expected to grow 45% over the next five to seven years). Computer science and computer engineering bachelor degrees are in high demand and command two of the top three average salary offers from employers among all majors.
13 How do we support historically underrepresented student populations (women, students of color, students with disabilities, international students, etc.) to be successful in computing and technology?
14 INCLUSIVE EXCELLENCE: in clu sive ex cel lence n. 1. The recognition that a community or institution s success is dependent on how well it values, engages and includes the rich diversity of faculty, staff, student, and alumni constituents and all the valuable social dimensions that they bring to the campus, including but not limited to race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, religion, nationality, age and disability.
15 THE THREAT OF STEREOTYPES (WORK BY JOSHUA ARONSON) Occurs when members of negatively stereotyped groups, such as women in STEM, face the possibility of confirming the stereotype of their group. Ethnic isolation in a course may lead students to feel that their performance is indicative of the intelligence of their group. High stakes testing could create barriers to minorities and/or women full academic performance.
16 How can YOU be a change agent? Maintain positive student & faculty interactions Become aware of diversity biases in advising and teaching practices Challenge teachers to explain the effort in the most important component of success & that all students will have to work hard to succeed. Encourage students to take how to learn course or arrange to offer one in your school Help students to combat test anxiety by challenging teachers to create a classroom which minimizes competition.
17 Minimizing Competition-Aronson/Steele Be aware of the fragility of intellectual performance Challenge students to think of their minds as muscles that get strengthened & expanded smarter with hard work Be aware of your own personal bias (stereotypes)
18 Take Aways We each have the ability to affect a student s experience positively in our daily interactions Addressing stereotype threat is only a single factor in closing the achievement gap It STILL takes an academic village to graduate a student!
19 THE ROLE OF SELF-EFFICACY FOR WOMEN IN ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY Goes beyond self-confidence It is the confidence in one s ability to perform a specific task, to organize and execute the courses of action necessary to attain a specific goal* High self-efficacy is correlated to high persistence in engineering *Self-Efficacy in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, SWE-AWE, NSF Grant # and NAE CASEE, 2008
20 LOW SELF-EFFICACY - TAKEAWAYS Can often be misinterpreted as low interest Can be related to the climate --- in the classroom and in engineering NOT related to their grades Can be raised with your help
21 FOUR SOURCES OF INFORMATION IN ESTABLISHING SELF-EFFICACY 1. Mastery Experiences Primary learning path for men Not the primary path for women 2. Vicarious Experience Primary learning pathway for women 3. Social Persuasion Judgment, feedback, support 4. Physiological Reaction How an individual interprets her emotional state
22 RESEARCH SHOWS these factors encourage students to study computing: Early, positive experiences with computing Adult encouragement (especially parental) Positive female role models Information about what computing professionals actually do
23 Moving Beyond Computer Literacy: Why Schools Should Teach Computer Science Statistics about computing education and workforce in your area Offer Computing Workshops and Camps: They Benefit Both Students and the Teachers Who Offer Them
24 TARGETED RECRUITING WORKS Actively recruiting girls and minority students results in more students overall and more female students. One high-school CS teacher recruited 65 students into 2 AP classes and had to turn away students. Gender composition went from 12% girls to 33% girls 70% of his students pass the CS AP exam We have enough students for the first time in four years to run an AP level Computer Science course.
25 HOW DID HE DO IT? Recruit girls in female-run student clubs Connect computing to girls existing interests Tell girls they will stand out as college applicants Embrace newbies as a blank slate For example: For yearbook: Using Java, they blended and colormatched pictures For National Honor Society: AP CS students programmed a card scanner to streamline roll-call
26 EVIDENCE-BASED RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION STRATEGIES CAN HELP You can increase the number of girls in computing through Encouragement Positive early experiences Advocating for a high-school computing requirement
