resonated well with my personal experience in the past withfemale mentorship. Reflecting on how I got to where I am today, I owe much of my success tothe female mentors that have influenced me so positively throughout my high school and collegeyears.Recommendations for Future Camps:For many of the activities there was a scripted part and an additional challenge planned, but timeprohibited most of the girls from thoroughly exploring the additional challenges. In the futuremore time will be allocated to each activity. According to these results, 75-90 minutes peractivity would be sufficient. This will of course limit the number of activities, but the additionaltime spent to master the nuances of each activity is worth the limited exposure.Extending

In addition,we had greater flexibility to create objects for which we did not have a scale physicalrepresentation (e.g., a house or a bicycle). Finally, we had the ability to create interactions thatwould be harder to create with physical objects, like having students identify a sequence ofmoves that would not begin until after locking in those steps, thus requiring a plan for mentalrotations prior to beginning the moves.

Students often feel they are swimming in a sea of equations,and that every problem is unique with little or no relationship to others they have solved. Toaddress this challenge, we created a circuit analysis toolbox, shown in Figure 2. Each section ofthe toolbox shows the input and output variables for each method. The sections can be cut intocards (many students glue these to 3x5 cards). Then, the cards can be arranged to plan out themethod to solve a particular problem, matching up the input and output variables for eachmethod, somewhat like dominos.Figure 2 Circuit analysis toolbox.

Ohland and associatessuggest “identify programming that retains the students who come to college committed to an engineeringmajor”7. The current study is focused on understanding the affective choices that first-year engineeringstudents make with regards to their major. The exploration and selection of an engineering major is oftena focal point of first-year engineering programs, and this experience has been found to be “polarizing,”either affirming a student’s plans to study engineering (or a specific discipline) or dissuading them alltogether8. Orr and associates conducted a large scale quantitative
