Designed as a 60-contacthours/year program directed by the university, this effort will serve 150 girls who are high schooljuniors over two years, through high school graduation to enter college. In 2017, 75 participantswere recruited from schools. Undergraduate mentors support the program with planned activitiesto explore engineering around the types of problems engineers solve and their impact on society,experiences to confront stereotypes, facilitate access to industry mentors, and university sitevisits.3) Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) at the high school grades 9-12 andcommunity college encourages exploration of engineering as socially relevant through socialentrepreneurship efforts in a co-curricular experience

Although theinstrument is a highly studied and cited resilience measure, we found no empirical study thatdocuments the validity of its use with engineering students.The CD-RISC is a 25-item resilience instrument that measures the resilience construct and itscognates. Although the literature identifies the CD-RISC as a reliable measure, efforts to replicatethe factorial structure in different samples have not been successful [15, 16].
