All responded that they were interested inpursuing a career in science. In the fall, students were encouraged to submit their researchfindings to national and regional high school science competitions.Introduction There has always been a need for people with expertise at various levels and specialtiesof science and technology [1],[2].

We published strictly in traditional journals in our area of research. We did not worry about the impact factor, just suitability. Now I tell my students to publish in open-access journals with high impact factors. Of course, they have to be suitable, and oftentimes I'm willing to swap impact factor for the cost of OA publishing.Regarding advising, faculty mentioned instructing students to look to the papers they are citingfor sources of potential publication.

WNEC faculty members highlight the creativity and problem-solving traits of engineers with examples from all disciplines of engineering. These ideas are put into action with a hands-on engineering design project, such as looping roller coasters or LegoTM vehicles, to fit the capabilities of girls in our target age group.

It has also been noted that many students made their decision to leave an engineeringmajor within the first two years, the period during which they are taking engineeringprerequisites and before taking any (or many)engineering courses5.

. Page 9.674.5• Higher confidence level of women students in science and mathematics: One of the major reasons cited for women not choosing engineering as a career in the United States is the drop in confidence of women students especially as they progress through middle and high school [15-18] . From the principle author’s personal experience, this is not very evident in Kerala. This can in turn be attributed to cultural factors, differences in primary and secondary education, and economic factors. In addition, because of the very selective nature of admission to the engineering programs, it is only students who are good in science and math that succeed. This is a difference from the situation in the US, where
