Attracting Girls to Technology: Reach Them Before High School Frank Lanzer Anne Arundel Community CollegeAbstractToday, a technology company may “feel good” if 30% of their employees are women butmost will not be engineers. This reflects the facts provided by the National ScienceFoundation showing 35% of the undergraduates in science and math majors are women,while only 10% are in engineering. It’s no wonder that many girls and young womenperceive these fields as “for men”. Recent research shows attitudes and perceptions beingdeveloped early in the secondary education process.During this discussion, current statistics and research with

Engineering Education” 2Farmingdale State University, along with most other universities, has embarked on a program offeedback from the very people and institutions that hire our graduates. There is nothing newabout this for it has always been the desire of universities to prepare their students for the worldin which they must eventually operate. Whether going from graduation to work or an advanceddegree program, some attributes simply must be there. Farmingdale State University has set upa program to ascertain feedback from those who see our graduates next. In the Architecture &Construction Management Department, an Industrial Advisory Committee has

forefront of the minds formany in the American Public (Bailey & Chambers, 2005).In responding to these concerns, many disciplines within public education are undergoingvarious levels of reform as educators search for ways to improve education(Strassenburg, 2004). In particular, the increased use of technology especially computertechnology, has been incorporated into educational processes as a way to improveeducational opportunities, while enhancing student performance.The 6-week experiment used in this study has shown conclusive results that the use ofdedicated technology in the classroom does improve the achievement results of HighSchool Algebra students. The academic achievement analysis yielded the followingresults: Significance level (p
