The girls emphasized their need for moreSTEAM programs, summer camps, mentors, engineering courses, internships, engineeringgames, hard work, and women engineer networks to strengthen their persistence. Due to personalreasons attributed to learning difficulties and other preferred career interests, 14% of the girlswere hesitant about engineering and technology careers.This research experience program improved the knowledge, self-efficacy and persistence ofminority middle-school girls. It can be replicated successfully at other institutions, particularly atHBCUs. In the long term, effective research experiences in alternative learning environments canincrease minority middle-school girls’ self-efficacy, persistence and improve

It is a theory of learning founded on the premise that the reflection of our experienceswill construct our own understanding of future knowledge, much like the purposeful, deliberate,and systematic nature of engineering, which requires reflection on past knowledge to constructfuture creations. There are several guiding principles of constructivism30,41,47,63,74:1. Understanding comes from interactions with the environment. A learner’s knowledge comes from his/her pre-existing knowledge and experience, and new knowledge is formed when connecting previous experience to the new content and environment.2.

They are notin a traditional academic program and they are motivated differently than traditional students.Consequently, the traditional A, B, C grading scale should not be uniformly adopted forassessment of their educational accomplishments. On the other hand, performance evaluationwithout meaningful assessment is unsatisfactory as well.

and can visualize themselves as successful engineering students and professionals, thehigher the persistence and retention rates [2], [4], [8], [11], [15], [17]. In fact, one study showedthat 90% of students who graduated from an engineering program had declared engineering astheir major prior to attending the institution, regardless of gender [12]. In other words, studentsrarely transfer into an engineering program from another major. If a student does not come to theinstitution in mind, they will rarely change to an engineering program, often due to perceptionsof engineering being too hard for most students [12]. This highlights the need for creating asense of self-efficacy in young women to pursue engineering. If they have not made that
