In 2014, total US logistics costs were $1.45trillion, which represents 8.3% of GDP [1]. However, there is a need for more college studentsto choose careers in this field. Traditionally fed from business and industrial engineeringprograms, logistics faces a current shortage of students entering the field. The Georgia Centerof Innovation for Logistics reports that there was a gap of more than 270,000 logistics relatedjob openings

However,in one ACT study (ACT, 2011) that is consistent with many others, only 25% of high schoolstudents met all the college readiness benchmarks set by the ACT in English, reading, science,and mathematics. While 45% met the mathematics benchmark, only 30% met the readinessbenchmark in science. Consequently, the STEM related workforce gap between the needs of employers andskills of the workforce is in turmoil.

Studies found that students who withdrawfrom STEM majors are less involved in extra-curricular engineering activities, have lowerengineering self-efficacy and career expectations, but higher anxiety1, 3. However, the averageGPA of women who withdraw from STEM is no different than that of others1. To increase theretention of women in STEM, solutions have been proposed by many studies such as facilitatingcommunities for females4-5, involving peer mentors6-9, and mentoring by faculty and/or womenengineers10.According to the American Association of University
