./Purdue Univ. Ft. Wayne (IPFW) over the last three years to promote a sense ofcommunity, self-confidence, and mentoring among women engineering, technology, and computerscience students. Descriptions and schedule of some activities are included.Introduction Comprising a majority of the U.S. workforce, women make up only 8.5 percent of the nation'sengineers. A number of programs have been launched over the past decade to recruit more women intothe field, and while women now represent 20 percent of all engineering students, they remain more likelythan men to switch out of the field, particularly in the first two years of college. A recent study concludedthat women engineering undergraduates with a sense of community are more likely to persist in

During the program thestudents have to develop projects of Engineering since first year. The projects must beconceived, developed and applied individually. The students can also have a Professor/advisor tohelp them. They present their works in a Congress that takes place every end of school year. Thedevelopment of projects added by lab works provide them at least five projects of experiencethat means a good skill as researchers too.

This website was chosen because it is NSF-funded, acollaborative effort from several well-respected universities, and a top hit when searching for“K-12 Engineering Activities” on Google. It is also one of the only sites that provides completeunits, as opposed to stand-alone activities, at no cost.A search was conducted within the website to limit the focus of this research, which includedlooking at complete units under “Science and Technology” that cover the Engineering DesignStandards for grades 3-5.

The equity gap in STEM education is a significant issue, and individuals from low-income communities often lack the STEM experiences that their more affluent peers receive [1].To address this gap, educators are exploring new ways to engage students in STEM experiencesthat promote positive associations.

As indicated by Wachs [48],engineers have been masters of technology driven mostly by economic motives and influencedby corporations and government. Rasquachismo, on the other hand, is a model that has beenappropriated by those who do not have resources and embrace ambiguity, ingenuity, andresourcefulness - rasquachismo is rooted in experience for survival and resistance. Nonetheless,rasquachismo also becomes a vehicle to the world of engineering. Similar to engineering,rasquachismo seeks to (1) generate potential solutions to a problem, (2) accomplish simple tasksthrough complex ingenuity, (3) generate
