For high school students, many PLTW initiatives are not embedded, but offered asan elective course, outside of their normal Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)trajectories. Students in public school settings where PLTW is offered as an elective may findthat these courses conflict and compete with other courses that may hold a personal interest.Though PLTW courses are engaging and expose students to principles in engineering andtechnology, in many educational settings, it is up to the individual student to decide on PLTW asa viable and worthwhile pathway.To assess the impact of PLTW, several states have begun longitudinal tracking of studentsenrolled in

At the time, at Boise State University, femaleenrollment in engineering and computer science comprised only about 12 percent of theundergraduate population. The teacher applied for a grant from a corporate foundation and thenpartnered with the local section of the Society for Women Engineers (SWE), other high schoolstaff, the corporation, and Boise State University. In 2005, the first camp was offered to 41 girls,recruited through the deliberate deployment of marketing strategies to determine themes thatwould interest young women in the region, and to promote the
