AB  - Work in Progress: Recruiting computing students through IN-COMMAND CS-0: AnINtroduction to COMputing through Mobile ApplicatioN Development [CS-0]As part of a larger effort to recruit and retain Hispanics in computer engineering, the firstauthor created a weeklong summer course for college students to develop applications forGoogle’s Android mobile phone. Ten students, having little to no prior programmingexperience, designed and tested applications (apps) for Google’s Android platform.Students used a software development environment, complete with a software emulatorfor the phone to develop the application and a real platform running the Android OS todemonstrate the application. Students were exposed to the main aspects of Appdevelopment, such as setting up the development environment, Graphical User Interface(GUI) design through the Extensible Markup Language (XML), Multimedia and Graphicsprogramming, Java programming and OpenGL. At the end of the weeklong session, studentsinitiated the development of a Sudoku application for the Android System. Studentsinvolved in the weeklong course took a survey based on social cognitive career theory(SCCT), which posits that individuals base career decisions on their confidence, interest,and perceived sense of mastery in a field (Lent, et al 2005). Following the course, studentsreported increased interest in computing careers and in the computing major, increasedconfidence that they could succeed in the major, and perceived academic support in theirdepartment. Students commented that the structure of the course and real-world problemsolving associated with developing apps contributed to their learning. Future efforts willinvolve developing a full semester course as well as disseminating the curriculum to highschool and post-secondary populations.
