engineers in the workplaces remains relatively low. There has been a significantimprovement compared to the 1980's, during which only about 5.8% of engineers were woman,but the numbers remain relatively low with female engineers only making up about 14% of theengineering workforce within the United States. Suggested reasons for this phenomena includelack of female role models and young women having fewer technological problem solvingopportunities throughout K-12 than when compared to their male counterparts13.To attempt to combat the lack of female engineering students within an Engineering Technologydepartment at a University of Louisiana, the department developed a “Girls Who Draft”program, which is partially motivated by the Girls Who Code
science properties, including elastic modulus, strain, displacement, stress, yield, anderrors. The “Theory” section gives the students the opportunity to use the equation editor and toapply a general and consistent way to reference the equation(s) in the body of text. Similarlearning objectives are on adding a figure or drawing a new one using the drawing editor. The“Results and Discussion” section offers the students the opportunity to learn about datamanipulation and presentation, both in form of tables and graphs. Finally, the students learn howto refer and incorporate the necessary references.Two projects are usually assigned during this section. In the first one, the students receive anexample of a lab report without equations, figures

Costs for the propulsion systemwere approximately $60 for the motor, controller, transmission shaft, and propeller with anadditional $30 for the battery pack. Parts were connected through machined couplers and shafts.These were made by students in the campus machine shop to increase student exposure to theequipment and reduce costs. These are expected to provide a speed of 4 MPH (1.8 m/s) and anendurance of 30 min. Future work will determine the real-world speed and endurance of thevessel.The environmental scientists currently use a package from Vernier Software and Technologyincluding a LabQuest 2 DAQ and three Vernier probes.

Googleuses LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and Tesla uses an array of cameras for computervision. The autonomous cars can be fully autonomous without a need for a driver or can bedriver-managed autopilot-enabled. Google SDC is an example of an autonomous car without adriver and Tesla Model S is an example of the second type.The area of autonomous vehicle design has been gaining a tremendous growth in recent years. Amajor aspect of this growth has been advanced technology, a rich set of sensors and cameras,advances in computational intelligence and machine vision.

positive impact on the female participants.Future WorkThe learning materials will be revised for the following summer camps based on the feedback ofthe teachers and the assessment results. Additional data will be then collected during the upcomingsummer camp. It is expected that the larger sample size will increase the statistical power of theanalysis. The project team will be installing the software and hardware in the local middle schoolsso that the teachers can start using the learning modules in their classrooms.References1. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/02/15/u-s-students-internationally-math-science2. https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/pisa/pisa2015/pisa2015highlights_3f.asp3. https://www.nea.org/assets/docs/18021
