For our survey,the sub-constructs include racial oppression, socioeconomic background impacts, genderoppression, and intersecting challenges. For instance, racial oppression includes culturalassociation, work

up and execute STEM outreach activities to encourage young women tobecome more involved in engineering/technology fields. By setting up STEM programs offeredspecifically to young women, young minds are given an opportunity to get hands on experienceas to some of the duties of what a career in engineering could entail, helping clear awayconfusion regarding the field. Programs like these would also offer a kind of support systembetween fellow students and the teacher, helping encourage young women to stay involved in thefield. This paper describes such a program implemented in a University in Louisiana. Theprogram employs female students currently attending an engineering technology program at auniversity to teach young women from neighboring

challenges throughout the world, more research isneeded when it comes to understanding the role and presence of women in different contexts.The Middle East, in general, and the Gulf region, in particular, represent an exciting opportunityfrom this perspective. On the one hand, the scarcity of previously conducted research on thistopic has opened a niche for this type of work. On the other hand, studying the region’s rapidsocio-economic transformations may shed some light regarding the vital role of women in non-Western contexts, particularly when it comes to encouraging participation in traditionally male-dominated fields.Attracting “every young mind to engineering” is, for UNESCO, closely related to achieving theMillennium Development Goals

These recommendations share the theme that we saw throughoutour data, these former e-Girls recommend exploring “real career examples that are appealingand…are STEM related.”As we apply these recommendations to our developmental evaluation, we are mindful that theemphasis on active learning during e-Girls, following up with our alumni to encourage theirparticipation in other STEM outreach programs including a NASA sponsored program androbotics, are supportive of girls’ subsequent pursuit of an engineering or STEM pathway.Connections: “You’ve got to have people”When we thanked our focus group

Participants are asked to provide both qualitative andquantitative feedback regarding the camp experience in an exit survey on the final day of camp.All assessment is completed anonymously; however, archival data are not available for eachyear. This paper highlights qualitative and quantitative findings from the past decade.Introduction and

of our population. The stakes can be high: when engineers do notdesign with both genders in mind, preventable fatalities result. The first airbags, designed by anall-male team, killed women when the designers did not take into account women’s smaller sizesand different body structures (Massey). For decades, doctors who did not realize that women andmen exhibit different heart attack symptoms would misdiagnose women and send them home(Del Giudice).What does it take to achieve the elusive fifty-fifty gender balance in engineering? Like the set ofstudies that come before this one, this study aims to bridge the gap between women’s and men’sexperiences in engineering.
