non-technicalcompetencies engineers need to master [3], [4]. Lifelong learning is the continuous building ofskills and knowledge throughout the life of an individual [5] and is particularly important inprofessions such as engineering that experience continual change in response to rapiddevelopments in technology and regulations. Lifelong learning involves individualstranscending narrow domains of expertise by talking to others and sharing insights [6]. Forstudents to develop these skills, they must be able to realize when a problem or task falls outsideof their current expertise, actively seek knowledge from others, and understand how to obtaininformation from knowledgeable peers and mentors.Organizations benefit when employees feel

degrees to remain inengineering careers for as long as possible. Furthermore, the fact that women drop out ofengineering careers in much larger numbers than men contributes to limited diversity in thesefields and can impede creativity, innovation, and global competitiveness.6Unfortunately, the existing body of research does not yet provide sufficient explanationregarding the departure of both men and women from engineering careers to supportinterventions in the workplace to retain these individuals. We do know that women and menreport leaving engineering for similar reasons as well as for different ones;4 thus, effectiveinterventions can serve both men and women, or can specifically target women.

terms of theundergraduate and graduate degrees they earn at colleges and universities. Yet, in spite ofsuch advances, most science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields stillremain sharply gender segregated, with men making up the majority.1 This is nowheremore evident than in engineering. According to statistics, women earn 57% ofundergraduate degrees, but only 18% of baccalaureates in engineering.2-3 These trendsare a cause for concern because occupational gender segregation fuels the wage gapbetween men and women, which perpetuates gender inequalities.4 Additionally, a dearthof women in engineering represents the potential loss of human capital that could help toadvance scientific and technological discovery.5In response to this

It is important to take asubject that may not have been previously accessible to all of the students, due to the precedingcurriculum they may have been exposed to, and use the application of e-textiles to appeal tothem. Using this approach, the goal of this laboratory activity was to engage the female studentsand increase their confidence in their abilities.BackgroundThe focus of e-textile research is to investigate technology that can be inserted into textiles.These new electronic and computational technologic applications explore the future oftransportable and wearable computing devices.
