has shown there is overwhelming evidence that women are underrepresented inengineering and technology [1]. Ample research has been done over the past several decades tounderstand this reality as well as the progress that has been made. In 1954, women made up lessthan 1% of the engineering B.S. degrees compared to 23% in 2020 [2]. This data is encouragingand matches research for degree intentions of freshman students. 2.6% of freshmen women hadintentions to major in Engineering compared to 13.7% for men in 2007 and by 2014, thepercentage of freshmen women intentions increased to 5.8% and freshmen men intentionsincreased to 19.1% [3 -6].

observationsand conclusions about light can be summarized in one central statement: light will travel instraight lines unless interrupted by an outside object. In the 3rd century BCE, the Greekmathematician Euclid developed the law of reflection, which stated that light travels in straightlines, and will reflect off a surface at the same angle the light hits the surface with. Later in the17th century, it was discovered that light could also refract, meaning it bent when entering anew medium [1]. Studying such tendencies of light can help us better understand the world aroundus and how we perceive our environment. For example, the law of reflection served as the basisof many concepts in physics, such as shadows, mirrors and pinhole cameras. This paper

For example, Hutchison-Green [1] foundthat first year engineering students’ perception of their course success depended on their speed ofsolving problems and the amount of time taken to learn new material in comparison to theirpeers.

This can be exacerbated by the challenge ofinsufficient resources to engage students in more experiential approaches. The dominance ofstudents being directed to read and memorize for tests and examinations has been documentedas a common practice in contexts like South Africa [1], but it extends broadly across thecontinent. The authors see this as potentially leading to negatively affected self-perceptionsabout students’ ability to execute as innovators.

Students then analyze a sample resume to determine what makes a strong resume,which leads into an analysis of how to tailor the next several years toward building a strongresume.
