pursue careers inengineering, including an explicit emphasis to increase the number of females pursuingengineering. Tag lines developed through market research for the campaign included:“engineers make a world of difference”; “engineers are creative problem solvers”;“engineers help shape the future”; and “engineering is essential to our health, happiness,and safety”.In the decade following the campaign, the number of baccalaureate degrees awarded inengineering and computer science approximately doubled from a total of 74,387 in 2009[4] to a total of 144,818 in 2019 [5]. This increase in baccalaureate degrees suggests thatthe campaign was effective in its goal of increasing the total number of individualsgraduating in engineering and computer
