factors that contribute tothis phenomenon, including societal bias and the environment of the STEM classroom. As asociety, it seems to be a natural assumption that the subjects of math, science, and engineeringare traditionally “male” subjects. Research has been done to show how “stereotypes can lowergirls’ aspirations for science and engineering careers over time.”2 In order to eliminate societalbias, the environment and manner in which STEM subjects are taught to girls must change. “Ifgirls grow up in an environment that cultivates their success in science and math with spatialskills training, they are more likely to develop their skills as well as their confidence andconsider a future in a STEM field.”2 This project was designed to target

Over the same time, the share of those attaining ahigh school diploma or less declined. Employment of college graduates is projected to growfaster than average from 2006 to 2016 [2]. Increasing demand for technological advances meansmore jobs for STEM workers. More STEM workers also will be needed to replace those who areleaving these occupations.

As J. Ben O’Neal notes, “most engineers are limited intheir career not by a lack of technical knowledge, but by an inability to reason verbally,communicate their ideas to others, and furnish leadership.” 8Perhaps the most important of communications skills for students is writing. Writing is theprocess through which students think on paper, explore ideas, raise questions, attempt solutions,uncover processes, build and defend arguments, brainstorm, introspect, and figure out what isgoing on. 9 Writing organizes
