LandscapeInstitutions across the nation seek to produce highly skilled and qualified graduates fromnationally accredited engineering education programs. As a result, engineering educationprofessionals require resources for evaluating student progress, assessing student learningoutcomes, and understanding impact of educational projects and programs. Several websites,many of which are supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), address the growingneed for easily accessible assessment and evaluation instruments. For example, the AssessingWomen and Men in Engineering Project (AWE)1 is a multi-institutional project offeringassessment instruments for K-16 engineering education outreach activities.

IntroductionCurrently there is a significant gender gap in engineering and science. A recent article in theNew York Times reported1, even as women make significant headway in fields from law,business, chemistry, and biology, the doors to technology, one of the fastest-growing sectors ofthe economy, remains virtually closed to women.

Theseinfluences may include: academic isolation, social isolation, cultural isolation, negativestereotypes associated with ethnic identity, motivational vulnerability, financial insecurity, anddiscrimination [1, 2, 3, 4]. The academic, social and cultural isolation experienced by URMstudents reflects ineffective transition. While the transition from high school to college posesrisks for all students, there is significant evidence indicating that URM students who areotherwise academically prepared are particularly at risk at this leverage point [5, 6, 7].Historically, summer bridge programs were used to boost the scholastic skills
