By understanding how and why elective tracks become gendered withinengineering majors, we hope to identify effective strategies for improving the preparation ofwomen to pursue technical roles and career paths in their chosen field of study, with the broadgoal of improving the workplace retention of female engineers.As this project is ongoing, we plan to present preliminary results based on wave one (1)interviews with 30 female engineering students in their sophomore year (the year when electivetrack selections are made).Project Background and Theoretical FrameworkExisting research shows that men and women in gender-typed occupations – such as engineering– often

IntroductionEmergency management of natural disasters is an essential role of government. Emergencymanagement was organized in 1979 with the creation of the Federal Emergency ManagementAgency (FEMA). Since that time, many states and local cities have changed the names of theirorganizations to include the words: emergency management. There are four phases of emergencymanagement: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Mitigation includes activities thatprevent an emergency or reduce the damaging effects of unavoidable hazards. Preparedness phaseincludes developing plans for what to do

Theengineering department has a graduate program only for the EE major, and the class of 17students was made up of three groups of similar sizes coincidently, including five EE graduates(EE-g), six EE undergraduates (EE-u), and six ME undergraduates (ME-u). Pre-requisites forthe course include Signals and Systems and Mechanics of Materials for EE-u and ME-u students,respectively.

That is, the women’s representation in electrical and computerengineering fields is only 10% compared to for example 35% in chemical engineering 4 .In order to improve the situation of women in electrical and computer engineering fields,we designed and organized a summer camp for middle school girls enrolled in grades 6-8(11-13 years of age). This is part of a three year educational and outreach plan supportedby a National Science Foundation award. The first edition of this camp was held in 2012 inthe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at North Dakota StateUniversity (NDSU).

Typical cybersecurity competitions atthe secondary school level currently focus on a very narrow set of computer-technical relatedactivities. These competitions are rewarding to students who have traditionally been attracted tocomputer-related fields.
