  2. There has been a decline in the graduation rate of women in the computing fields since 1984 [2]. Calls to broaden the participation women have corresponded to funding initiatives, such as the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) program [3]. As the scholarly community takes up these calls and justifies their work, they tell stories about the problem, the solution, and most importantly, the people involved with broadening participation. Here we review some of those stories as represented by major trends in scholarly literature.

  5. Within research on broadening participation in computing, the experience and perspectives of undergraduate students have been important elements of exploration. As undergraduate students are experts of their own experience, conducting research that focuses on understanding their perspective can help those who organize programmatic efforts to respond to student needs and concerns. This paper emerges from the context of a specific National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) program. As with all S-STEM programs, Florida Information Technology Graduation Attainment Pathways (Flit-GAP) focuses on lower-income students, and thus this research surveying the program participants can help draw conclusions and pragmatic considerations about how to broaden participation for students historically marginalized by their socioeconomic status.

  9. The Florida IT Graduation Attainment Pathways (Flit-GAP), an NSF S-STEM, Track 3 grant effort, involves three public metropolitan institutions from Florida’s three most populous areas: Florida International University (FIU) in Miami, University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando, and University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa. Flit-GAP supports up to 50 students per year for each of the first 3 years of the project’; recruits are juniors from Computer Science, Information Technology, Computer Engineering, and Cybersecurity, and other computing majors. The relationship among the three institutions is formalized as the Consortium of Florida Metropolitan Research Universities. The consortium is a strategic priority of each institution. In Year 1, 42 students participated in the scholarship program at the three institutions (16 FIU; 14 UCF; 11 USF).
