Multiple organizations and governmental agencies have invested in STEM educationprograms to research the gender disparity. Possible reasons that have been raised regarding lowfemale and minority engineering rates include misconceptions of what engineers do 3, lack ofrole models in engineering 4, and a shortage of engineering experiences for girls in earlyeducation 5.
