Furthermore, the American Society of EngineeringEducation affirms that “diversity and inclusiveness is essential to enriching educationalexperiences and innovations that drive the development of creative solutions in addressing theworld's challenges” [38]. Many professional societies reiterate these sentiments in their ownstatements.

Onesuch industry facing imminent shortage of graduates in its workforce is aerospaceengineering (AE).The U.S. Department of Labor Statistics (2019) estimates the employment growth of AE at 7% for the next decade which is at par with other occupations. The growth in the sector isprimarily based on high-end technology jobs such as computational fluid dynamics testingand redesigning aircrafts for better efficiency. Predicting employment growth tends to beconservative. For example, the predicted employment numbers in AE

Recruiting young women to engineering, however, is notwithout challenges. Engineering is often perceived of as a traditionally masculine occupation thatis unwelcoming to women [6], [7]. Studies also regularly find that women in engineeringencounter discrimination, difficulties cultivating a sense of belonging and obstacles to
