BPC-AE: AccessComputing Extension

华盛顿大学(UW)寻求延长访问计算职业联盟(AccessComputing)的期限。AccessComputing的目标是增加成功完成计算机专业大专学位并进入计算机工作队伍的残疾学生数量。它是由计算机科学和工程系与华盛顿大学的DO-IT(残疾、机会、网络和技术)中心合作领导的，合作伙伴包括加拉德特大学、罗切斯特理工学院/国家聋人技术研究所和地标学院。访问计算联盟吸引了残疾人以及那些支持、服务、指导、教育和雇用他们的人。具体地说，这一扩展将(1)增加高等教育机构、大学前教育工作者、退伍军人协会、其他扩大计算参与的项目和行业的能力，以充分纳入计算领域的残疾人士；(2)在利益相关者之间创建协同和持久的关系，以促进计算机教育和职业生涯中的包容性的系统性变化；(3)实施循证实践(例如，指导、实习)，以增加通过关键时刻进入计算职业生涯的残疾个人的数量；以及(4)扩大一个在线资源中心，以便在全球范围内分享研究和有前途的实践。应用以多学科知识管理、协作和社会网络理论和实践为基础的方法，访问计算扩展将把早期的和新的关系正式化为由合作伙伴、协作者和附属公司组成的多层组织结构。残疾个人的结果将通过跟踪学生参与者的进展以及机构入学和毕业数据来记录；结果将与地方、地区和国家关于残疾人学术和职业成功的数据进行比较。

The University of Washington (UW) seeks an extension for the Alliance for Access to Computing Careers (AccessComputing). AccessComputing aims to increase the number of students with disabilities who successfully complete post secondary degrees in computing and enter the computing workforce. It is lead by a collaboration between the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology) Center at UW and it includes Gallaudet University, the Rochester Institute of Technology/National Technical Institute for the Deaf, and Landmark College as partners. The AccessComputing alliance engages individuals with disabilities as well as those who support, serve, guide, educate, and employ them. Specifically, this extension will (1) increase the capacity of postsecondary institutions, precollege educators, veterans associations, other projects that broaden participation in computing, and industry to fully include individuals with disabilities in computing fields; (2) create synergistic and lasting relationships among stakeholders to foster systemic changes toward inclusiveness in computing education and careers; (3) implement evidence-based practices (e.g., mentoring, internships) to increase the number of individuals with disabilities moving through critical junctures to computing careers; and (4) expand an online resource center to share research and promising practices worldwide. Applying methods grounded in multidisciplinary knowledge management, collaboration, and social network theory and practice, the AccessComputing Extension will formalize earlier and new relationships into a multi-tier organizational structure of partners, collaborators, and affiliates. Outcomes for individuals with disabilities will be documented by tracking the progress of student participants as well as institutional enrollment and graduation data; results will be compared to local, regional, and national data with respect to the academic and career success of people with disabilities.
