, 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

These advancements have affected not only themanner in which problems are solved but also what problems cannow be solved. These changes, however, have not affected allengineering disciplines to the same degree or in the same way.Of all the engineering fields, Civil Engineering has perhapsbeen the least affected. There have, nevertheless, beensignificant developments in the use of computers

c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Complexity of Engineering Disciplines as an Engineering Gate Keeper? Exploring Literature Related to Students’ Selection of and Admittance into Engineering MajorsAbstractEngineering disciplines have evolved over the last two centuries as technology has advanced,creating additional opportunities for engineers to solve new problems. These disciplines attractdifferent numbers of students, adapting to solve new problems with new technology. While thedefinition of an engineering discipline is not explicit, engineering programs must decide whatmajors to offer their students to prepare them for modern and future engineering problems.Additionally, students must navigate the

Recruiting young women to engineering, however, is notwithout challenges. Engineering is often perceived of as a traditionally masculine occupation thatis unwelcoming to women [6], [7]. Studies also regularly find that women in engineeringencounter discrimination, difficulties cultivating a sense of belonging and obstacles to

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
