year engineering technologydegree programs in the mid-1950’s in response to a need for more practically trained graduateswho would be able to enter the workforce without the need for specialized on the job training.ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc.), the accreditation body forboth engineering and engineering technology programs, describes engineering and engineeringtechnology as “closely related professional fields that differ in curricular focus and careerpaths”[3]. Graduates from engineering programs are called engineers, graduates of four yeartechnology programs are known as technologists, and graduates from two year technologyprograms are called technicians. In general, engineering curricula are mainly focused

boysexclusively makes no sense, and a part of the diversification of an over- all population should bedifferent populations working together. Engineering outreach programs have been around for quite some time, with a casual survey indicating that the late 1990’s saw an uptick in the number of programs, perhaps due toincreased NSF funding. In the same time period, efforts to recruit more women to engineeringwere languishing. The nationwide percentage of women has hovered in the vicinity of 18% forover 20 years [1]. Coincident with these phenomena, research emerged providing good insightinto characteristics of educational programming that appeal to girls. SciGirls published theSciGirls Seven [2] strategies for engaging girls. They advise providing

making such biases visible to all students. It also creates the conditionsto go beyond mere equal divisions of work to equitable divisions of work, such that students whohave been excluded from certain types of roles on teams (e.g. technical or leadership) are able togain experience in those roles. As such, new assets in these areas are developed, which can thenbe employed and further developed in future work. This offers the possibility of a real materialovercoming of the effects of bias and stereotyping, and can begin to challenge and short-circuittheir reproduction. 14ReferencesBaron, A.
