did not agree with one another.ResultsFigure 1 reflects the responses regarding the YLS Inventory questions, which capturedCommunication Skills and Group Work Skills. Universally, students rated themselves positivelyon these measures, with averages ranging from 2.59–2.80. However, boys rated both theircommunication and their group work skills lower than girls. There were not significantdifferences in girls’ perceptions of their communication and group work skills between the co-edand the all-girl program participants. Comparing across the life skills, the girls and the boys allperceived their group work skills more positively than their communication skills

committees, and on the NSF ENG division’s Advisory Committee. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 CRITICAL GPA AND STANDARDIZED TEST SCORE ADMISSION THRESHOLDSAbstract: We must increasingly engage and capitalize on the contributions of people frombackgrounds underrepresented in engineering, especially women and people of color, if we are toeducate enough engineers to meet demand and propel our nation’s competitiveness through anengineering workforce reflective of our nation’s diversity. This study focuses on broadeningpathways into engineering, expanding both the diversity and size of the engineering studentpopulation. We hypothesized that engineering colleges’ over-reliance on standardized test
