SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Revitalizing
Computing Pathways (CPATH) in
Undergraduate Education Program
Evaluation.
OMB Number: 3145–0211.
Expiration Date of Approval: March
31, 2013.
Title of collection: Revitalizing
Computing Pathways (CPATH) in
Undergraduate Education Program
Evaluation.
Type of request: Revised Clearance.
Abstract: The CPATH program was
established by the National Science
Foundation’s Computer & Information
Science & Engineering (CISE) division
with a vision towards preparing a U.S.
workforce with the computing
competencies and skills imperative to
the Nation’s health, security, and
prosperity in the 21st century. This
workforce includes a cadre of
computing professionals prepared to
contribute to sustained U.S. leadership
in computing in a wide range of
application domains and career fields,
and a broader professional workforce
with knowledge and understanding of
critical computing concepts,
methodologies, and techniques. To
achieve this vision, CISE/CPATH is
calling for colleges and universities to
work together and with other
stakeholders (industry, professional
societies, and other types of
organizations) to formulate and
implement plans to revitalize
undergraduate computing education in
the United States. The full engagement
of faculty and other individuals in CISE
disciplines will be critical to success.
Successful CPATH projects will be
systemic in nature, address a broad
range of issues, and have significant
potential to contribute to the
transformation and revitalization of
undergraduate computing education on
a national scale. The qualitative data
collection of this program evaluation
will document CPATH program

strategies utilized in infusing
computational thinking across different
contexts and disciplines, examine the
development of communities of
practitioners and the dissemination of
best practices around computational
thinking, and analyze preliminary
evidence for how the CPATH program is
preparing students for career options in
the STEM workforce. Five overarching
evaluation questions will guide this
program evaluation: (1) How is the
CPATH program infusing computational
thinking into a wide range of disciplines
serving undergraduate education? (2)
What is the evidence that university and
community college departments and
faculty are integrating computational
thinking into their courses? (3) How are
undergraduate students benefiting from
participating in CPATH projects? (4)
What is the evidence that the CPATH
program is developing communities of
practitioners that regularly share best
practices across different contexts and
disciplinary boundaries? (5) How is the
CPATH program promoting sustainable
multi-sector partnerships that represent
a broad range of stakeholders (e.g.,
industry, higher education, K12) and
contribute to workforce development
that supports continued U.S. leadership
in innovation? Answers to these
questions are currently obtained using
mixed evaluation methods including
document analyses, site visit interviews,
and telephone interviews with selected
CPATH grant participants including
principal investigators, staff, faculty,
administrators, students, and external
partners. This revision of the existing
data collection activities will now
include new protocols for interviewing
faculty via phone, project evaluators, as
well as edits to the previous protocols.
Participation in CPATH program
evaluation activities is a mandatory
requirement for all CPATH awardees in
accordance with the America Competes
Act, H.R. 2272, and implementing
directives.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 1 hour per
response.
Respondents: Individuals.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Form: 400.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 400 hours (400
respondents at 1 hour per response)
Frequency of Response: One time.
Comments: Comments are invited on
(a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
NSF, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the
accuracy of the NSF’s estimate of the

information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.

Expiration Date of Approval: March 31, 2013.
Title of collection: Revitalizing Computing Pathways (CPATH) in

Type of request: Revised Clearance.
Abstract: The CPATH program was established by the National Science
Foundation's Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE)
division with a vision towards preparing a U.S. workforce with the
computing competencies and skills imperative to the Nation's health,
security, and prosperity in the 21st century. This workforce includes a
cadre of computing professionals prepared to contribute to sustained
U.S. leadership in computing in a wide range of application domains and

and universities to work together and with other stakeholders
(industry, professional societies, and other types of organizations) to
formulate and implement plans to revitalize undergraduate computing
education in the United States. The full engagement of faculty and
other individuals in CISE disciplines will be critical to success.
Successful CPATH projects will be systemic in nature, address a broad
range of issues, and have significant potential to contribute to the
transformation and revitalization of undergraduate computing education
on a national scale. The qualitative data collection of this program
evaluation will document CPATH program strategies utilized in infusing
computational thinking across different contexts and disciplines,
examine the development of communities of practitioners and the
dissemination of best practices around computational thinking, and
analyze preliminary evidence for how the CPATH program is preparing
students for career options in the STEM workforce. Five overarching
evaluation questions will guide this program evaluation: (1) How is the
CPATH program infusing computational thinking into a wide range of
disciplines serving undergraduate education? (2) What is the evidence
that university and community college departments and faculty are
integrating computational thinking into their courses? (3) How are
undergraduate students benefiting from participating in CPATH projects?
(4) What is the evidence that the CPATH program is developing
communities of practitioners that regularly share best practices across
different contexts and disciplinary boundaries? (5) How is the CPATH
program promoting sustainable multi-sector partnerships that represent

existing data collection activities will now include new protocols for
interviewing faculty via phone, project evaluators, as well as edits to
the previous protocols. Participation in CPATH program evaluation
activities is a mandatory requirement for all CPATH awardees in
accordance with the America Competes Act, H.R. 2272, and implementing
directives.
