NCWIT collects data on female participation in computing from several sources. Figure 1 above shows that in 2008, females who indicate an intention to major in computing increased by one percent (N>300,000 students). UC Berkeley’s female applicant pool is slightly smaller each year than the percentage of girls intending to major in CS based on SAT scores.

EECS Adv. Board Challenges
• Can EECS increase yield of admitted women from 45% to 80% (eg Cal Tech)
• Can EECS match other COE depts-
% of women enrolled?
![Page 11: Internet Outreach to Prospectives Univ of Washington Berkeley ME on YouTube Dean Dennis Lieu](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c905503460f9494a3d1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
EECS Advisory Board Recommendations
• “You will need to get out of your comfort zone to change the department; it will be
awkward and requires (faculty) leadership.”
• Community matters; leverage the low numbers through 1-1 relationships/faculty
• Climate: student to student interaction very important: “paintball vs. evening of theater”
![Page 12: Internet Outreach to Prospectives Univ of Washington Berkeley ME on YouTube Dean Dennis Lieu](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c905503460f9494a3d1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
NCWIT RecommendationsRecruitment
• Track enrollment data with faculty
• EECS is “passive” in HS recruitment
• Go after Undeclared Students
• Survey students as they enter major
• Generate hypotheses about decline
![Page 13: Internet Outreach to Prospectives Univ of Washington Berkeley ME on YouTube Dean Dennis Lieu](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c905503460f9494a3d1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
NCWIT: Lower div. Curriculum
• Top recommendation: ‘Clone Dan Garcia’
• Promote lab-centric approach of CS 61B and 61C
• Evaluate lab-centric courses: persistence in CS, gender, as well as student achievement
• Reform & market Intro CS
![Page 14: Internet Outreach to Prospectives Univ of Washington Berkeley ME on YouTube Dean Dennis Lieu](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c905503460f9494a3d1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Opportunities for EECS
• Create presence on YouTube to reach HS
• Recruit newly admitted women even more vigorously March 30-May 1
• Engage faculty (even more) in contacting them
• Leverage ugrad involvement in recruiting
• Assign Big Sisters earlier, at admission
![Page 15: Internet Outreach to Prospectives Univ of Washington Berkeley ME on YouTube Dean Dennis Lieu](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c905503460f9494a3d1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Opportunities, cont. Increase research engagement
• Gamescrafters model: lower div ok.
• Intel Ugrad Research Program very effective for grad school admission 1/06-1-09– 41 women participants out of 47- 2006-2009:
85% to graduate school
• SUPERB CS REU: 50% women but
![Page 16: Internet Outreach to Prospectives Univ of Washington Berkeley ME on YouTube Dean Dennis Lieu](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c905503460f9494a3d1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Discussion• Joe Hellerstein: We should be leading, developing strategies that
others will want to us not fixing up our own Cal Day.• Babak: We can be more active recruiting undeclared students. At
MIT, decision is deferred. If we recruit them, we need to be flexible about point of entry to CS major
• Jeff: We can recruit from among undeclared students in the College.• Dan: in early process of new CS0: “Intro to Computing”• Linking CS to other fields, as the bio + CS shown in UW video• Christos: we can link to UW web with attribution• Ruzena: We need to hire more women to be role models.• Brian: decline in our CS figures tracks national decline in interest.• Dave P.: Taking on the teaching of hs CS is too big a project: focus
on students already on our campus. There are enough to focus on.

• Recruit not just L&S but COE undeclared students
• Change the name of computing to: Engergy Health and Information Technology in the interest of Society
• Fiona: Find ways to integrate relevant research themes into how we present ourselves to young women.
• Vel: women used to be limited in professions: more math majors then, to be teachers and now….?
• Paul H: factors that lower our yield are important: size of campus, classes, safety.
• Utilize peer testimonials more in recruitment; increase student-to-student interaction
• Take a strategic rather than tactical approachCast a wide net with broader intro courses

Lessons from MIT• EECS is PROACTIVE at PreFrosh level; women are courted• • SUMMER Program: 35-40 women students for one month; half are
admitted
• “Discover EECS” Freshman Pre-orientation Program a week early: encourage women especially to attend--only 45 of whom half are women
• Introductory course very effective
• Course VI recruits students freshman year
