EERI will be used as a pretest-posttest toevaluate the level of students’ ethical reasoning skill level before and after participating in the KIactivities.

This study also showed that biomechanics-basedactivities could increase interest in considering careers in engineering, regardless of initial interest.Of note, when both boys and girls had little to no interest in engineering, boys were more easilydrawn in by the outreach activities than girls. The challenge with engaging girls in engineeringmay be a reflection of intrinsic differences such as gender stereotypes (Bieg et al., 2015), andpsychological factors (Stoet et al., 2016) between boys and girls that are more pronounced at lowindividual-interest levels. Thus, it may be necessary to tailor interventions (e.g., biomechanics-based activities) that target girls with low interest in engineering

The two types of homework problems (in-house and textbook) were similar in difficultyand did not cover the same topic in every course. For example, if in one quarter, Newton’s SecondLaw is covered by in house assignment, it may not be the case for the next time around. This is toensure that the data does not reflect the difficulty of the topic. In addition, some in house problemswere assigned more than once, without given any kind of solution to the students.

Figure 3 shows the results of a log-linearplot of the temperature difference between the bratwurst and ambient air as a function of time,which is tracked very well by a linear-regression fit. The slope value equals to 0.031 min-1,corresponding to a value of k = 0.07 min-1, which is about a third of the rate in the waterexperiment, reflecting both, the smaller temperature differential as well as the differingconductivities of the water versus air pockets adjacent to the

The authors believe that female students are more likely to think that they either“have what it takes” or not and this will be reflected in their grades. The data shows that femalefirst generation students are also not joining programs like TRIO (aimed specifically to help firstgeneration students), which the authors believe is a contributing factor to these students avoidingSTEM fields. The male students were more likely to be members of STEM organizations andother support programs on campus, which may be why they feel a much lower need ofmentoring.
