As such, in order to find out how to attract more female students to this maledominated field, it is important to further investigate and understand the barriers and factors thatinfluence female students’ educational pursuits and career choices along the key transition pointsmiddle school, high school and entire college. In this study we focused on female students’occupational aspirations and paths from middle school, beginning of high school, and beginningof college

The details of this program are covered in another publication [4].This collaboration functions across the entirety of North Dakota, which means distancebetween collaborators can be in excess of 300 miles. And for nearly half of theacademic year this distance is made more tortuous by some of the most challengingweather in the lower 48 states.

Education in the U.S. does not emphasizethe clean energy or environmentally friendly behavior, so many students do not see these jobs asa potential career path or even know they exist.Education plays a critical role in helping the United Nations reach its Sustainable DevelopmentGoals (SDGs) [2].
