engineering performance[2,3,4]. Within the workplace, if a woman of color is theonly one (which she often is), she may tire of her preoccupation with defying stereotypes andchoose a different career[21].Research suggests that women of color may encounter difficulty advancing in their careers dueto the lack of role models in engineering companies. Role models demonstrate that success ispossible for individuals who look similar to them[14,18] and many provide direct assistance toothers serving as mentors. Of the 682 highest-level executives at 5 top technology companiesthat employ thousands of engineers, only 8 are black or Hispanic women[13]. This is unsurprising,given the low numbers of minority women who pursue engineering, and perpetuates the image

Engineering Education, 2017 Implementing Design Thinking into Summer Camp Experience for High School Women in Materials EngineeringAbstractAlthough women make up a significant portion of the college educated population, there remainsa sizable gap between the number of men and women pursuing degrees and careers in science,technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. The gender gap begins at middle school andwidens considerably in later high school years. One major factor for this gap is the lack ofbelonging women can feel towards engineering. As one approach to developing and improvingthis sense of belonging, we focused on improving students’ comprehension of engineering topicsduring a weeklong materials science and
