To enhance diversity and interest in electrical engineering (EE), various initiativeshave focused on hands-on workshops, integrating creativity into STEM education, andaltruistic projects, such as designing solar-rechargeable reading lights, which have beenparticularly effective in engaging girls [4, 5]. Other efforts include organizing tours,funding science fairs and camps, and supporting robotics teams [6]. Despite theseinitiatives, gender disparities persist, with boys often receiving greater encouragement topursue EE careers through support from home, school, and technology-related hobbies[7]. To overcome these challenges and create more equitable

engineering; that is,answering questions about models’ accuracy in replicating phenomena, and the usefulness ofsimulations in making public policy decisions. A mismatch between technology that is far advanced in brand new cars that are beingproduced today with older testing programs makes answers to these questions even morepressing. Although standardized for consistency, the interpretation of such testing programs maynot convey the safety results they claim with the certainty provided. From a marketingstandpoint, communicating that certainty with a level of affirmation is questionable. Consider,for example, the following statement describing the Hybrid III 5th Female dummy model.
