BPC-DP: Broadening Female Participation in Computing: Middle School through Undergraduate Study

科罗拉多矿业学院（CSM）提出了一个示范项目，旨在吸引和留住从中学到本科学习计算机科学的女性。具体而言，该项目旨在(1)制定有效的策略，以激发女性从中学到本科学习对计算机科学的兴趣，(2)增加主修计算机科学的女性本科生的数量，(3)增加主修计算机科学的女性本科生的保留率，(4)重新设计本科计算机科学课程，以吸引男女学生。每一项干预都是根据先前研究的结果专门设计的。在初中和高中阶段，干预措施？包括一个暑期技术营和一个学术技术俱乐部？旨在激发女性对数学、科学和技术的兴趣和理解。干预措施还将在夏季教师讲习班上进行，在那里，初中和高中教师将学习关于女性流失的统计数据和基于研究的方法，以鼓励女性参与计算机科学、数学和科学。进一步加强初中、高中和本科技术领域的学业指导工作。在本科阶段，CSM的计算机科学课程将重新设计，以吸引女性参与的CSM人道主义工程课程为基础。

Colorado School of Mines (CSM) proposes a Demonstration Project designed to attract and retain females in computer science from middle school through undergraduate studies. Specifically, the project aims to (1) develop effective strategies for stimulating female interest in computer science from middle school through undergraduate studies, (2) increase the number of female undergraduate students who declare majors in computer science, (3) increase the retention of female undergraduate majors in computer science, (4) redesign the undergraduate computer science curriculum in a manner that is appealing to both male and female students. Each intervention has been specifically designed to build on results from prior research. At the middle and high school levels, interventions ? including a summer technology camp and an academic technology club ? are planned to stimulate female interests in and understanding of mathematics, science and technology. Interventions will also take place at summer workshops for teachers, where middle school and high school teachers will learn both the statistics on female attrition and research based methods to encourage female participation in computer science, mathematics and science. Efforts will further be made to improve academic advising at the middle school, high school and undergraduate levels with respect to technical fields. At the undergraduate level, the computer science curriculum at CSM will be redesigned to build on the efforts of the Humanitarian Engineering program at CSM, which is known to attract female participation.
