Academiccommunities and international conferences embraced the importance of women’s representationin engineering by adopting topics pertaining to women as main session themes [3].The gender gap in engineering, although shrinking, may extend into the professional sector withsome women globally reporting challenges related to gender disparities [13], peer pressure [6],and financial barriers [3]. Some women engineers faced social stigma in the engineering industry[14, 15, 16, 17], including access to male-dominated networks, negative attitudes from male peers[6], and some degree of

This is not to say that this does not occur in certaincases, but we do not think that it occurs as readily nor at the magnitude that we and others in thefield have believed that it does.Outreach programs for youth often attempt to position adults as role models, usually with thegoal of inspiring youth by messaging that they, too, can be like the role model or do what theydo.

Students were asked to present the topic of the researcharticle, the significance of the research and findings in the article and the background informationnecessary to clarify the significance of the research results.Student presentations were rated by other students using peer review sheets.
