The program, named “Girls Who Draft”,aims to stimulate awareness regarding career options in engineering/technology, motivate moreyoung women to pursue careers in these areas, and to recruit more female students into theuniversity program to eventually graduate with a degree in these high demand fields. Theprogram is structured so that young women from nearby schools come for a 2-hour block to oneof the departments’ computer labs that have the AutoCAD software available. The engineeringtechnology faculty and students provide these young women with a hands-on introduction todrafting. Future expansions of “Girls Who Draft” plan include multi-day and multi

The lab follows each of the major steps in the design of alarge, custom-designed mechanical system. The individual assignments for the laboratory arelisted in this section. Assignment 1: Survey of the lift site and research into the state of the art in ski lifts – Students are given the location of their lifts.

While there isliterature describing which brain regions support particular cognitive functions, far less is knownabout how these are developed through learning and how they support design thinking. Bymeasuring hemodynamic responses during brainstorming tasks with freshmen (n=14) and senior(n=9) engineering students we find a significant difference (p<0.001) in the cognitive activationrequired to generate solutions. Freshmen engineering students show 5 times greater activation inthe dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (known to involve working memory, cognitive flexibility,planning, inhibition, and abstract reasoning) compared to seniors.
