Enhancing Computing Education for Underrepresented Groups
This webinar discusses strategies to increase diversity in computing education, focusing on underrepresented groups such as women, minorities, and individuals with disabilities. The program aims to re-envision teaching methods and support pathways for undergraduate students from underserved backgrounds. Proposals must address broadening participation and can target transformation, pathways, and mobilization initiatives with specific funding categories.

OVERALL GOAL OF THE CUE PROGRAM Re-envision how to teach computing effectively in a scalable manner focusing on those undergraduate students from groups underserved by traditional computing courses and careers 4
CUE Proposal Tracks Transformation Addressing key challenges in undergraduate education (CS+X, updating courses, holistic degree support, inclusive online teaching) Pathways Effective pathways involving 2-year colleges (entry points, transitions) Mobilize Developing a national vision through convening the CISE community 5
ALL CUE PROPOSALS SHOULD ADDRESS BROADENING PARTICIPATION All proposals must explicitly address broadening participation with respect to the two Additional Solicitation Specific Review Criteria: Does the proposal identify the characteristics and needs of the identified underrepresented or underserved groups to be served? Does the proposal include specific plans or strategies for addressing or accommodating the particular needs of participants of the identified underrepresented or underserved groups? 6
OVERVIEW OF FUNDING CATEGORIES Max amount Duration Transformation $2M Up to 5 years Pathways $2M Up to 5 years Mobilize $1M Up to 18 months 7
CUE Transformation Proposals address key challenges in undergrad education 1. 2. 3. Intersection of computing and other disciplines Undergraduate computing courses for 2025 Holistic support toward computing degrees and certifications Effective, inclusive, and equitable online teaching for computing 4. 9
CUE Transformation Expectations Make a substantial regional or national impact on some aspect of computing pathways Innovative ideas in computing education new approaches and action produce fundamental, structural change go outside of or beyond existing norms and principles 10
PATHWAYS 11
CUE Pathways Proposals support and explore effective pathways to computing degrees and careers involving two-year colleges 1. 2. Entry points into two-year colleges The two-year college to four-year college transition **Encourage synergistic partnerships with industry 12
Who can apply? Institutions of Higher Education, Non-profit, non-academic organizations, For-profit organizations, Transformation and Pathways proposals must be comprised of a multi-institutional partnership, with a lead IHE and at least two other IHEs or other organizations. Pathways proposals must include a two-year college as part of the partnership. 13
