Discovering Ways To Increase Inclusivity For Dyslexic Students In Computing Education, Felicia Hellems, Sajal Bhatia
Discovering Ways To Increase Inclusivity For Dyslexic Students In Computing Education, Felicia Hellems, Sajal Bhatia
School of Computer Science & Engineering Faculty Publications
The years accompanying entrance into the university system are often characterized by a period of great transformation. These years can also be wrought with difficulties for many students, difficulties which are often compounded in students with disabilities (SWD). Reports from the U.S. Department of Education show that as recently as 2015--16, 19% of undergraduate students experienced some form of disability1. Additionally, statistics show that SWD tend to have lower post secondary completion rates than their counterparts [3]. A review of pertinent literature has shown that there still exist gaps within the field of computing education (CE) for teaching cybersecurity concepts …

This paper studies and quantifies the impact of active learning experienced through multinational projects. The hypothesis was engineering education delivered through Active Learning in multicultural environment improves student competencies. The investigation captures the impact of international exposure program in developing global competencies of the modern engineer. The paper shows positive trends in the development of domain and life skills of engineering students. Post-survey after six months of completion of the program revealed that the program was valuable to students and their motivation increased.

We propose to strengthen the computer science (CS) curriculum by embedding parallel concepts in a required first-semester seminar taken by all incoming declared CS majors. We introduce students to parallel computing concepts through a series of unplugged activities so that students see parallel approaches as a natural form of solution to a task. We describe a pilot offering of the class and activities, with measurements and analysis of what students self-report and their performance on assessments.

Recent global demand for cybersecurity professionals is promising, with the U.S. job growth rate at 28%, three times the national average [1]. Lacking qualified applicants, many organizations struggle to fill open positions [2]. In a global survey, 2,300 security managers reported that 59% of their security positions were unfilled, although 82% anticipated cyberattacks to their systems [3]. At the same time, the cybersecurity field is broadening, not only in technical concepts but also in human factors, business processes, and international law. The field has not become culturally diversified, however. Professionals hired in 2018 included only 24.9% women, 12.3% African Americans, …
