or state, and ensure the project design met allappropriate transportation requirements. The project also included possible business/residentialimpacts and relocations. This required student teams to weigh moral and ethical considerationsof impacting citizens or changing the design, which may result in higher project costs.Additionally, students developed and enhanced their engineering leadership skills by engagingtheir peers in a common vision, developing, and maintaining trust, and focusing on the use ofappropriate means to effectively provide meaningful contributions to society, through theiradopted design process that was reflective of professional engineering practice.Course Format and LogisticsStudent teams evaluated alternatives

been found that womenmake almost 50% of the workforce but hold only 28% of jobs in STEM fields [3]. Manyinstitutions and organizations have realized this challenge and provided various activities topromote female students into the STEM fields [2]. In addition, different strategies were developedto recruit and retain students in the STEM education [4-5]. Creating quality, attractive STEMprograms [6] and using peer influence to motivate high school girls to enter the STEM fields [7-8]appears to be effective ways to retain female students in STEM.Wentworth Institute of Technology has collaborated with local schools and organizations topromote STEM education. Since 2014 our university has organized a Girl Scouts STEM Dayprogram targeted to help

culminatingsenior experiences. These activities demand students’ time and effort, interactions between facultyand their peers, especially for students from different racial or ethnic backgrounds. Short-termgoals are also essential for engineering students' academic success as they influence learningstrategies for tasks related to students' courses [12]. Research has shown that self-efficacyimproves learning and understanding in introductory (“Gatekeeper”) engineering courses [5].Methods“The NSSE survey, launched in 2000 and updated in 2013, assesses the extent to which studentsengage in educational practices associated with high levels of learning and development. NSSEannually collects information at hundreds of four-year colleges and universities about
