on co-ed groupprojects that showed that boys tend to take on more valued project roles and control access totools and materials, while girls end up in administrative roles [15], [16]. To evaluate the successof a single sex approach, researchers have examined single-sex after school programs and specialgirls-only programs within co-ed schools. For example, Fadigan and Hammrich [17] examined amuseum program for girls and showed that the program created a space for girls that supported apositive sense of self.On the other hand, there are practitioners and researchers that critique the idea of separating girlsby saying, for example, that girls need, eventually, to work in mixed spaces therefore it is best tofocus on their ability to navigate

This ability would enable the student tocommunicate ideas in subsequent design classes with peers on teams as well as contribute insome work settings. Learning to follow engineering graphic conventions was the base leveloutcome. Many of these conventions can be enacted algorithmically, much as a CAD systemcan automatically generate orthographic projections given

They spend a total of three weeks in each of the experiential learning facilities(laboratories and other learning environments), and working with a dedicated teaching team to get exposed tovarious project-based approaches in each field of study.Following this model, a set of one-credit courses are also designed to be offered in the second semester,focusing on each particular undergraduate program. Therefore, in their first year, students not only know aboutother programs of study in the school, but also get experience with a deep-dive, program-specific survey courseas a follow-up in their second semester of study.

The emphasis on RTP has been primarily attributed topolicymakers, who fund research and set expectations for scholars leading research projects toevaluate and specify how their projects are relevant and make an impact in practice (Daley &Shinton, 2014).
