In fact, only 15% of bachelor degrees in pure computer science are awarded to women [1]. The literature reveals various reasons for the underrepresentation of women in computing, including lack of role models [2]. An experimental class at DePauw University continued a project to expose fifth-graders to both programming and female role models, in order to change attitudes toward computing -- in particular, the attitudes of both boys and girls to the inclusion of girls in computing activities. The DePauw class visited the children a total of 5 times, administering an attitude scale (CATS [3]) as both a pre-test and post-test instrument. The children learned the programming language, Scratch, and developed two storytelling endings for books they had read in their current English curriculum unit. Pre- and post-test comparisons of the 10 CATS items (Likert-type attitude scale) were obtained using one-tailed t-tests for the 10 paired responses from the 20 children (10 boys and 10 girls). The t-test for item number 7 (\"Technology is as difficult for girls as it is for boys.\") yielded a p-value of 0.019, which was significant at the .05 level. Since little girls and little boys should think that computing is equally easy and equally difficult for each sex, the results provide one piece of evidence that providing a series of lessons involving Scratch by a team of students with sufficient female role models (4 female students and 4 male) can change children's attitudes toward computing.","PeriodicalId":344382,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2017 ACM SIGCSE Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116414540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some students may take a series of courses on analog and/or digital circuits, but the integration with modern devices is sorely missing from most curricula. We designed the Tufts University Comp 50: Wearable Devices course to introduce the basics of digital and analog circuits to students with software-driven backgrounds by studying the intricacies of the production of wearable electronic devices. The course focused on the skills needed to design hardware, software, and a chassis for a final wearable product that was novel and potentially marketable. The primary objective was to provide a course that serves as an introduction to digital electronics but with a tangible goal to produce a high-fidelity prototype that student teams presented at the end of the semester. Given the nature of modern wearable devices, which are small, energy efficient, and strongly favor connectivity to other devices, we developed the curriculum around designing a surface-mount Printed Circuit Board (PCB), and we outfitted the student kits with coin-cell battery powered, Bluetooth-connected, Arduino-compatible devices that they needed to learn how to program and connect. We also integrated iOS development into the course so that students' final projects could communicate with both their phones or tablets, or to the Internet via these devices. As the \"wearble devices\"' field is relatively new, this paper discusses the decisions we made for the set-up of this class, what worked and what did not, and what we would change and improve when we teach it again.","PeriodicalId":344382,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2017 ACM SIGCSE Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education","volume":"247 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115110609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They provide an ideal framework for abstracting relationships between related parameters. In image processing, tensors can be used to represent gradient information. The 2D structure tensor is one such representation, useful in corner detection and non- photorealistic rendering. This abstract summarizes my image processing filter based on the 2D structure tensor that generates artistic abstraction from photographs. With the 2D structure tensor, I explored ways to present the gradient directions of an image as artwork and investigated the relationship between the Gabor filter and the eigenvectors of the 2D structure tensor. Using this filter, I produce images that consist of a dense patchwork of lines, somewhat resembling certain artistic types of pen shading such as hatching and cross-contour shading. By applying this filter, I have found ways to categorize images that display salient groups of parallel lines. These images present a higher artistic quality and display better compositional style after being processed using the 2D structure tensor than the average photograph. Another finding is that not all resolutions of images are ideal for structure tensor processing and that an image size of 700-1000 pixels per side yields the best results from both a mathematical and artistic standpoint.","PeriodicalId":344382,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2017 ACM SIGCSE Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125379702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We began a discussion of the role of data science across disciplines, and the role of computing in data science programs, at SIGCSE 16. The session was well attended and the discussion was valuable. Since then, more work has been done and more people are engaged. This BOF will continue the discussion, including welcoming new voices. We will distribute copies of the report of the NSF sponsored workshop on Data Science education and discuss a new initiative to develop curriculum guidelines for data science programs. This initiative will be in its earliest stages by the time SIGCSE meets, so it will be an excellent opportunity to gather impressions about what are critical considerations for any such curriculum effort. We developed a mailing list from the SIGCSE 16 attendees and will use that list to promote the BOF. The BOF will engage SIGCSE participants who have views on the content and role of courses and programs in data science. In addition to the workshop report, we will describe results from an NSF IUSE grant to develop modules for use in many types of courses. These expect to make access to fundamentals elements of data science available as widely as possible. With these as a starting point, participants in the Birds of a Feather session will explore the emerging field of data science and its relationship to computer science education.

The program was designed by a team of educators with expertise in academic skill preparation, college access, career guidance, student learning, and computer science. Using IDEO's Design Thinking for Educators as a learning framework, 42 rising high school seniors engaged in a six-stage process to understand and create solutions for complex problems in cybersecurity. To understand the many real-world applications of cybersecurity, students worked in teams as consultants for Floor Plan, a fictitious non-profit organization (modeled after Housing Works) that provides housing and healthcare services to homeless LGBTQIA teenagers. They employed Design Thinking protocols to develop a cybersecurity plan for the organization, guided by the NSA's First Principles of Cybersecurity. They worked on the challenge daily in \"Lab.\" During this time, they learned technical skills, such as operating a command line and principles of networking, and they practiced other academic skills, such as writing, project planning, and public speaking -- all part of a foundational skill set for college success. They conducted interview and observation research during field trips and speaker visits and presented their final plans at a public competition judged by industry professionals during the program's last week.","PeriodicalId":344382,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2017 ACM SIGCSE Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124132371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
