Abstract
This study proposes integrating a High-Impact Educational Practice (HIP) in an introductory technology course to improve attitudes toward and better attract students to computing majors. Faculty at the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater worked with a community partner to develop technology case studies and administer them to students in an introductory technology course. Students who participated in the case studies exhibited greater gains compared to a control group in their selfassessed familiarity with computing concepts and more positive attitudes towards technology as a viable major.
