Several reasonshave been given for this underrepresentation, including a pipeline issue that limits the number offemale candidates available for tenure track positions. Despite the fact that women now make upa majority of college

Engineers’ problem solving capabilities and systems thinkingremain at the core of the engineering profession2, 3, 7, 11 with emphasis moving little by little toadding skills and understanding through design thinking practices as a user centered approach,and with creative confidence3, 11, 23, 26, 34. The remaining and persisting question however, is howto make it happen. How do we coach and lead students to recognize their full potential asindividuals and as team members to not only learn new knowledge and skills but also to help
