The Proof Is In The Pudding – Using Perceived Stress To Measure Short-Term Impact In Initiatives To Enhance Gender Balance In Computing Education, Alina Berry, Sarah Jane Delany

Academic Posters Collection

The problem of gender imbalance in computing higher education has forced academics and professionals to implement a wide range of initiatives. Many initiatives use recruitment or retention numbers as their most obvious evidence of impact. This type of evidence of impact is, however, more resource heavy to obtain, as well as often requires a longitudinal approach. There are many shorter term initiatives that use other ways to measure their success.

First, this poster presents with a review of existing evaluation measures in interventions to recruit and retain women in computing education across the board. Three main groups of evaluation come …

Actividad 3: Ayudándote A Crecer, Patrick Young

Tema 4: Por favor, pásame la sal

Es necesario quitar la nieve y el hielo en invierno para que las carreteras sean seguras. La sal, junto con otros productos químicos, es muy eficaz para hacerlo, pero estos pueden ocasionarle daño las plantas, a la vida silvestre y a los seres humanos. La sal se filtra al agua subterránea y puede ocasionar problemas con los suministros de agua. Los niveles elevados de sal afectan la cantidad de oxígeno en el agua, el crecimiento de los organismos, la reproducción y las fuentes de alimentos. La posibilidad de que las sustancias químicas le ocasionen daño a un organismo depende de …

Actividad 3: ¡Advertencia!, Patrick Young

Tema 5: ¿Por qué la gallina cruzó la calle?

En un ciclo de ingeniería y diseño se producen múltiples repeticiones de diseño. Esto es así desde el inicio de la idea hasta la instalación de una estructura de paso para animales. En el diseño hay que tener en cuenta más factores que los mencionados anteriormente, como la temperatura, las precipitaciones, el tráfico de vehículos, el ruido y los gases de escape de los vehículos.

Actividad 4: Invierno Ecológico, Patrick Young

Tema 4: Por favor, pásame la sal

Además de la sal, existen otros materiales que se utilizan para mitigar los peligros del hielo y aumentar la tracción. Estos materiales adicionales incluyen arena, cloruro de calcio y una mezcla de salmuera y jugo de remolacha. El uso de cada método conlleva contrapartidas.

Actividad 2: Control De La Ira, Patrick Young

Tema 3: Tráfico

La furia al volante suele ser el resultado de una ira explosiva causada por inconvenientes, incidentes e irresponsabilidad mientras se conduce. En su mayor parte, la furia al volante genera gritos, bocinazos, pegarse al coche de adelante, zigzaguear y bloquear el tráfico. Sin embargo, las muertes por furia al volante están aumentando. Existen estrategias para ayudar a disminuir la furia al volante. Los carteles aéreos advierten sobre el tráfico, el clima y los incidentes de coches o camiones que se avecinan. Las aplicaciones de tráfico y viaje, que ofrecen varias sugerencias de rutas, tiempos de viaje y peligros en la …

Activity 4: Information Board, David Hernandez, Peg Steffen

Theme 3: Traffic Management

In 1969, the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) began collecting data about Americans’ travel habits. During the survey period, each household was sent a travel diary and asked to report all travel by household members on a randomly assigned “travel day”. Data were weighted to correctly reflect the day of week and month of travel to allow comparisons of weekdays or seasons. The type of transportation used, length and distance of trips and the purpose of travel are some examples of data gathered through the surveys. Organizations such as insurance companies, transportation agencies, and the government analyze and use the …

Actividad 1: Romper El Embotellamiento, Patrick Young

Tema 3: Tráfico

Los modelos informáticos pueden ser excelentes herramientas para analizar sistemas complejos. En esta actividad, los estudiantes utilizarán un modelo informático basado en la web para explorar la relación entre el volumen de tráfico y el tiempo que tardan los vehículos en llegar del punto A al punto B. Luego, utilizarán el modelo para evaluar dos posibles soluciones para su ejemplo particular de congestión del tráfico. Los estudiantes compararán muestras pequeñas con muestras globales para así apreciar los beneficios de utilizar muestras aleatorias grandes.
