remains low (only up 5%since 1993). In engineering specifically, women only make up 13% of the workforce (up from9% in 1990). Gender stereotypes persist today, even after decades of campaigns to change that.It is critical that girls are shown at an early age that women can be engineers and scientists. Thiswill help them combat false stereotypes and remove obstacles between them and a career in thesefields. To this end, we have developed a highly successful outreach program that focuses onshowing elementary and middle school-aged girls how fun and exciting a career in STEM canbe. Hands-on activities emphasize creativity and allow girls to explore STEM without beingjudged, worrying about what grade they might receive, or dealing with the

Understanding andaddressing the relationship between impostor syndrome and self-efficacy is crucial forsupporting the success and well-being of students in STEM disciplines.Project SummaryFor this project, we look into EE students' perceived notions of self-efficacy and impostorsyndrome while undergoing the RED programmatic activities. Specifically, the project looks atthese constructs as they relate to industry, seeing how the PFE courses and the TRUE-Capstoneproject shape EE student's perceptions of confidence in school and the workplace.

The significance of our findings is thatthey present a broad overview of what a variety of relevant parties consider to be the mostimportant CS content for high school students; this information is important for educators,administrators, and those who develop curriculum, standards, and/or teaching tools.1 Introduction and BackgroundThe field of computer science (CS

As thesestudents navigate their academic journey, mentorship is key to providing them with guidance,support, and a sense of belonging to overcome such hurdles. Faculty are often a source ofmentorship for setting academic and career goals, serving as a role model for attaining a career inSTEM, and finding research opportunities.
