thegrand challenges in Table 1 suggests the complex technological nature of the individual andcombined challenges as well as the importance of considering sustainability issues. The reactionby many engineering educators to solve such problems in the classroom would be to immersestudents in traditional methods of developing new technology or application of existingtechnology to the problem. In this process students would not typically integrate issues ofsociety, economy, and environment into their solution.Table 1.

andsurveys. The authors intend to perform further investigation to verify the effect of the summercamp on recruitment and retention.IntroductionThe GIRLS SEE summer camp was conceived in response to the latent concern for the smallnumbers of female engineering students which would translate into low numbers of females inthe labor force in technology areas. A study showed that by 2007 the percentage ofundergraduate female engineering students had decreased to only 17 percent1. At Fresno Stateonly 14.2 % of the students receiving an engineering degree during the academic year 2007-2008were female2. In addition, as seen in Figure 1, retention of first year female engineering studentsat Fresno State is at its lowest level since Fall 2002

In most stories this conflict was literally a physical fight. Some ofthe antagonists used their technology to indirectly attack the protagonist as is seen in thestory in Figure 7, but all of the main characters fought one another.

FEA is considered to be an asset for technology incorporation in engineering classes.Nowadays FEA software has developed remarkably and it offers a variety of tools forvisualizing, understanding and solving problems in various areas. In civil engineering, animportant application of FEA is in the area of structural analysis design, where static anddynamic load conditions need to be taken into account to solve for forces and displacements in agiven structure. GIS software is a critical tool for civil engineers, community planners and environmentalanalysts.
