manufacturing being a dirty and non-technical career, allmanufacturing related education programs have experienced difficulty in recruiting students totheir programs1. Additionally, manufacturing’s increasingly technical methods, requiredinnovativeness, and the emergence of advanced manufacturing technologies have necessitatedcontinuous improvement of manufacturing engineering programs. Succumbing to thesepressures, some undergraduate manufacturing engineering programs have even begun to close,despite the high demand for the graduates of these programs. This paper will examine strategiesthat the University of Wisconsin-Stout has deployed to keep its manufacturing engineeringprogram one of the largest and most vibrant in the face of these

Many of those positions are highly technical. However, despiteabundant career opportunities, women are not preparing themselves for technology-relatedcareers that would fill these positions. In 2002, a partnership was developed between the Schoolof Technology at Purdue University and John Deere to create a retention vehicle for beginningwomen students in the School. In this paper, we
