Introducing Young Girls to Engineering through Summer Enrichment Programs Linda S. Hirsch, Ed. D. Center for Pre-College Programs New Jersey Institute of Technology University Heights, Newark, NJ 07102 linda.s.hirsch@njit.eduAbstract – Women occupy nearly half the total United States workforce, but unfortunately onlyabout 25% of Science, Technology, Mathematics and Engineering (STEM) professionals arewomen, with less than 10% being women of color. Research has shown that providing girls witha positive STEM-related experience in middle school

and Mathematics (STEM)outreach is well documented. The methods by which this is accomplished vary and depend onthe specific needs of the student or STEM stakeholder being supported. Further the outreachprovider can vary in size from single high school students doing experiments with youngerstudents, to scientists and engineers (S&E’s) visiting classrooms, and to fortune 500 companiesdonating vast sums of money to build STEM infrastructure.1 Each of these has the potential toinfluence students and impact STEM careers. This paper looks to document what the authorsconsider a large STEM organization. The STEM outreach provider being described is one of theU. S.

with the 6 mm thickness was enclosedwith the 101 copper in this figure. For friction stir welding (FSW), the work pieces and thedonor were held using the workpiece fixture on the test bed of a FSW machine (see Fig. 1(b)).Before thermocouples were attached to the workpiece, the reliability of thermocouple wereevaluated. Three k-type thermocouples were attached 6 mm, 25 mm and 50 mm from theboundary as shown in Fig. 4(a). They were placed in front of the tool. For the welding, the sametype of the tool used for the insulation research. The FSW machine was programmed to have thetool plunge into the workpiece and then to travel at the 4.5 mm/s speed and the plunge force andangular velocity of the tool used were 5 KN and 1400 RPM, respectively

requirement to re-do a problem (or more) and whichconcept area was to be re-addressed. This enabled them to seek extra instruction to correct theirdeficiencies in the concept area(s) despite the shortened timeline. Second attempts (or firstre-takes) were administered in the immediate post-class window mentioned above. Frequently,students were able to leave those sessions knowing if their work that day met the standard or ifthey would need a third attempt. Between a first and second attempt, students were left to theirown devices to determine how to remediate their understanding. They were welcome to seekextra instruction, but not required to do so. Between the second and third attempt, however, theywere required to discuss their particular issues with

the graded policy. Ifthe grading has little weight on writing an explanation, the students would simply ignore theverbal thinking aspect and just apply algorithm learning to get to the numerical answers asked inphysics questions. In a typical example where a block on a ramp is connected to a verticallyhanging block via a cord, the acceleration and tension can be calculated with algorithm learning.However, in a learning assessment in terms of verbal thoughts and writing skill, most of thestudents would fail to show in their writing that the acceleration answer must be less than 9.8m/s/s; and that the tension is the force that pulls up the block on the ramp and the same tensionprevents the vertically hanging block from free falling by acting as

of affective learning is an obviousconclusion, rather than the lack of psychomotor learning. When an engineering student gave amathematical explanation on the question of “Explain the non-zero intercept of the shown labgraph” in a lecture-test, he/she was not using critical thinking. For example, in the 9.8 m/s/sverification lab using an object sliding down a tilted air-track, a graph containing acceleration onthe y-axis and sine of the titled angle on the x-axis is expected to have a zero intercept. Astatement like “The explanation of having an uneven table shows critical thinking skill when atechnician presents such data to an engineer” usually would be sufficient to re-activate theaffective learning in an engineering student, not that we

The course features manyelements including: design and software engineering, writing for broad audiences, oralpresentations, staged development of the student product, use of modern software tools, andcontact with alumni to bridge students towards their future work environments. Two types ofdata have shaped the lessons learned: formal focus groups conducted with each class of seniordesign students, and informal feedback from well-meaning alumni. The interesting conclusion isthat the very features seniors tend to complain about – design, writing and oral presentation – arethe ones alumni report as the most valuable.1.0 IntroductionCapstone courses in American higher education are thought to date back to the 1850’s, whencolleges like
