, national organizations have called for broadening of graduate education beyondthe technical to include career development and professional skills training [4-6]. The impetus isthat traditional graduate degrees prepare students to become professors and researchers ateducational institutions while career outcome studies show that those with engineering graduatedegrees find employment in a wide range of industries such as healthcare, banking, aerospace,consulting and manufacturing [5, 7, 8]. In Canada only 14% of engineers with PhDs (includingarchitecture and related technologies) are employed as professors [4].There is a need to provide leadership-learning opportunities to engineering students as leadershipcompetencies can boost their success in

Also after attending the camp, the girls should also be able to counter engineeringstereotypes among their peers and should be more able to recognize the impact of engineering ona personal, social, and community level. Increasing the girl’s’ positive engineering interestthrough the Girlgeneering camp should result in increased recruitment to engineering, science,technology, and math classes and careers.The unique components of the Girlgeneering camp are described later in this paper and include atailored individual hands-on engineering project for the girls, a high
