students as they try out computing courses in theirhigh school pathways. Our aim is to increase the interest and career awareness of CS for highschool girls so they may have an equitable footing to choose CS as a potential major or career.IntroductionAfter previously piloting three innovative computer science modules developed specifically forhigh school audiences, we drew from our prior findings to develop and implement the fourthmodule, Software Engineering (SE) [1] [2]. For our module design framework, we usedproject-based learning and expansive framing in order to situate software engineering in ameaningful context for the desired audience [3] [4] [5] .Module DescriptionThe SE module challenges students to address a local or community problem

I learned a lot about the design process, which I feel will help me a lot in my career. 4. This is a class that really helped me connect the elements of design we learned last year with concepts of circuits and systems. 5. I feel like I have a good understanding of the FDA design controls process and can apply it to real world situations. 6. I think it was nice that this class matched up with what we were learning in Circuits, Signals and Measurements. 7. A strength of this course was being able to apply the design process to the PCB Project

The types of writing include proposals, inspection reports,design documentation, progress reports, specifications, instruction manuals, online help files,emails, blogs, and more. A recent study [4] showed that students’ abilities in technical writingwere perceived to be below the standards by industry professionals, and engineering educators arerequested to address this major competency gap urgently. However, teaching technical writing faces several unique challenges in engineeringeducation. Many

Resilience also assists would-be engineers to realize successfulacademic rigor and retention in tertiary institutions. The skill of resilience is not solely innate to aparticular individual but can be both developed and inculcated.

case studies,especially when combined with other often quantitative data, can uncover patterns that thequantitative data alone do not reveal (Achinstein et al., 2004). Case studies can also helpinterpret longitudinal data, making it a valuable method for studying educational trajectoriesof students (Lucas & Roth, 1996) or career trajectories of teachers (Johnson & Birkeland,2003). Case studies also allow researchers to make causal or explanatory inferences within aparticular case study or draw more generalized conclusions or comparisons between cases.This can be especially useful in educational contexts for evaluating programs or educationalreforms (Martin & Hand, 2009).
