Gordon Jr., Usselman, MarionGeorgia Institute of Technology Title: APSIT: Alternate Pathways to success in Information TechnologyThis ITWF award provides support for the Alternate Pathways to Success in Information Technology (APSIT) program which seeks to explore the nature of the IT and engineering educational and career pathways used by successful female and minority Georgia Tech alumni. The objectives of the project are:1. To determine, through the use of paper and telephone surveys, face-to-face interviews, and institute records of Georgia Tech alumni, whether the educational and career strategies used by white women and by men and women from underrepresented ethnic groups differ from the strategies used by white men in their successful pursuit of IT and engineering degrees and careers. 2. To explore correlations between high school and college educational success (as measured by grade point average, and standardized test scores) with indices of later success in the IT and engineering work force, and to analyze these correlations by gender and ethnicity. 3. To explore IT and engineering field-specific differences in educational and career success for women and minorities.
