Moreover, the college is developing aleadership module for its introductory engineering course work for all students in the college.Longitudinal studies of the attitudes of graduates who participated in these efforts will greatlyaugment our current understanding of where college efforts are bearing fruit and where futureimprovements are required.Literature Cited:[1] Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.

a student-generated strategy for combattingdeclining female student enrollment and a poor retention rate. The study relied upon a survey ofmembers of a student organization, Women in Technology, for data. Open-ended questions wereincluded. Brand and Kasarda [11] studied female students enrolled in a high school roboticsprogram and at an all-women’s college, to determine the influence of social interactions onfemale engineering students. Encouraging female students to experiment with engineering in acollaborative environment was a goal for both programs. The qualitative study was conductedwithin a socio-cultural framework, assuming that individuals learn from communicating with oneanother and that interaction results in collective
