ITW: Departmental Factors in Gendered Attrition from Undergraduate IT Majors

机构：弗吉尼亚大学提案号：EIA 0089959PI: Joanne cohoon标题：IT本科专业性别流失的部门因素CISE信息技术劳动力（ITW）提案要求资金解决计算机科学本科专业女性不成比例的损失。其目标是概述美国顶尖的计算机科学院系，确定影响男女计算机科学专业学生平等保留的院系特征和做法，并传播这些信息，并根据研究结果提出行动建议。该项目的一个组成部分将是对227个计算机科学系的主席和教员进行调查。其中15个系将随机抽取，对系主任、教员和学生进行现场面试。这个项目有可能提供重要的见解，即什么样的教育环境可能会以与男性学生相当的速度留住计算机科学领域的女性学生。

Institution: University of VirginiaProposal Number: EIA 0089959PI: Joanne CohoonTitle: Departmental Factors in Gendered Attrition from Undergraduate IT Majors This CISE Information Technology Workforce (ITW) proposal requests funds to address the disproportionate loss of women from undergraduate programs in computer science. The objectives are to profile the top-producing U.S. computer science departments, to identify the departmental characteristics and practices that affect equal retention of male and female computer science majors, and to disseminate this information and make recommendations for action based on the study results. One component of the project will be a survey of chairpersons and faculty from 227 computer science departments. Fifteen of these departments will be randomly selected for on-site interviews of chairpersons, faculty, and students. This project has the potential to provide significant insights about what kind of educational environment is likely to retain female students in computer science at rates comparable to male students.
