Abstract
One of the less explored approaches to foster equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in Computer Science (CS) is through changes to the curriculum. Despite sporadic work on the adoption of Culturally Responsive Computing (CRC) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL), the inclusion of equity-minded courses, or modifications on specific elements of the curriculum such as introductory programming courses, there has never been a wide exploration or adoption of a successful equity-minded undergraduate CS curriculum. In this work, we explore undergraduate CS curricula, with a special focus on upper division, lower division, and service courses (courses offered to non-CS students). For each group, we examine the design and adoption of successful equity-minded approaches, exploring fair access, motivation, engagement, and rigour.
