IEEE Suggestions
Several issues brought up in this article could be addressed by the CPT project Jessica, Kyle, and I are looking at starting.
Increase women's enrollment in CS. A greater disparity exists between male and female students enrolled in CS in the West than in the East. For example, 65 percent of the computing students at the Carnegie Mellon University campus in Qatar are female. The "Globalizing Computing Science Education" sidebar speaks to this issue.Train high school computing science teachers. This can be accomplished through summer workshops. CS departments should also help high schools redefine their computing curriculum for grades 10, 11, and 12.
Make CS courses fun. Design computer programming courses suitable for students in the arts.
