Session 2548Development of a K-12 Summer Program to Promote Women in Engineering and Technology Jamie K Workman Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Abstract As recruitment and retention of women in engineering and technology programs at the university level is a concern, K-12 programs are being developed to address this issue. Although many reasons exist for the low enrollment numbers of females in engineering and technology (ET) programs, several are related to the limited pre-college exposure levels in math, science, and applied technology areas and guidance of these students
