Armed with that information, the girls were askedto create a shoe that would be comfortable, practical and fashionable. Looking down the runway,12 teams competed for the best shoe, wearing their newly-made projects while walking a 20 footdistance in front of judges, who are female engineers. The shoes were judged on a variety ofcriteria including appearance, fit, cost to build, and structural integrity. Girls were able tochoose between a flat or high-heeled shoe. Some were

Evaluation of Interactive Multidisciplinary Curricula in a Residential Summer ProgramAbstract Previous studies have indicated that women account for about 18% of the engineeringdegrees awarded in the United States. Consistently low populations of women in engineering areoften attributed to discrimination, the perception that engineering is a masculine domain, and alack of understanding about the roles and responsibilities of an engineer. In order to increaseparticipation of women in engineering, universities develop outreach programs designed to bettereducate students (and the public) about engineering.
