Playing the Field
Decades of research suggests that internship participation in college supports students’ career development and transition into post-college careers. Given the gender and racial/ethnic equity gaps in the STEM workforce, especially in the subfield of computing and technology, increasing the number of students who participate in computing-related internships during college may be one way to promote broader participation in these fields. Yet, few st…
Making the Leap
Prompted by participation gaps in the tech industry, this study explores the relationship between recent college graduates’ college experiences and their perceptions of their tech work environments. Using survey data from 15 research universities across the U.S., the findings suggest that gender and racial/ethnic identity influence the likelihood of viewing the field of computing as inclusive. Participants who were computing majors or felt a stro…
Sense of Belonging in Computing
This study examines an aspect of gender and racial/ethnic gaps in undergraduate computing by focusing on sense of belonging among women and underrepresented minority (URM) introductory computing students. We examine change in sense of belonging during the introductory course as well as the predictors of belonging, with attention to conditional effects by gender and URM status. Results show that sense of belonging outcomes are a product of both in…
Anatomy of an Enduring Gender Gap
Given growing interest in computing fields, as well as a longstanding gender gap in computer science, this study used nationwide survey data on college students during 4 decades to: (a) document trends in aspirations to major in computer science among undergraduate women and men; (b) explore the characteristics of women and men who choose to major in computer science and how this population has evolved over time; and (c) identify the key determin…
