conclusions based onthe data that emerged from the study.Rationale and Literature Review:A study conducted by three researchers with the Center for International Business Education andResearch found that almost 40% of U.S. companies surveyed missed international businessopportunities because of a lack of internationally competent personnel. Given that 95% ofconsumers live outside of the United States, it is important for students to gain internationalexperience (Daniel, Xie, & Kedia, 2014). With those numbers in mind, the National Academy ofEngineering states that a core need for engineers is to be able to work with a diverse,multinational, and multidisciplinary workforce. Therefore, engineering colleges must developstrategies that provide global

By setting up STEM programs offeredspecifically to young women, young minds are given an opportunity to get hands on experienceas to some of the duties of what a career in engineering could entail, helping clear awayconfusion regarding the field. Programs like these would also offer a kind of support systembetween fellow students and the teacher, helping encourage young women to stay involved in thefield.

Assessment of the present mentoring studyFirst, both the initial 4-year duration of the program and the fact that data is being collected atmultiple and regular intervals ensures the availability of longitudinal data that may in turn helpdetermine the amount of time it takes for mentoring effects to emerge and the length of time thatthese effects persist (Jacobi, 1991).

home.MethodsThe goal of our research is to shed some more light on the importance of some of the factorsdiscussed above for choosing engineering as a major and to examine their differential and uniqueeffects on the choice of women and men. With this in mind, we surveyed 806 freshmen andsophomore students at a public university, enrolled in biology, engineering and business classes,and asked them a series of questions about their choice of a major. Out of the 806 students whoparticipated, 752 provided complete responses to all survey questions and their demographics arereflected in Table 2.

AbstractStatistics data show that there is a huge gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM) workforces in the United States. In order to encourage more women to work in theSTEM fields, the first step is to attract women to pursue the STEM majors. Robotics provides aneasy, fun, and exciting environment for young minds, while exposing them to technologies at thesame time. This paper describes our collaboration with an all-girl high school in offering theirstudents a year-long robotics workshop. The motivation of this collaboration is two-folded. Onone side, the school administration is interested in bringing engineering and technologies to theircurriculum, which is currently missing. From our side, we would like to motivate and

Data will be analyzed for recurring themes amongthe students in their experiences both positive and negative (e.g., moments they thought theywanted to quit, experiences that caused them to feel they could or could not achieve a STEMdegree, what changed their mind about staying, or what event caused them to switch to adifferent field).

majors and careers. Based on interviews with and surveys offourth- and fifth-grade girls participating in an engineering outreach program, we questionwhether youth are looking for career role models, and we challenge the assumption that youthwill take up an adult as a role model simply because the adult is presented as such. We questionwhat role these “models” play in the minds and lives of youth and argue that it may differ fromwhat we expect. To be clear, we are not arguing that engineering role models are not importantor not influential. Rather, we think it is important to gain a better understanding of how youth,particularly girls, view these potential engineering role models, which will allow us to optimizethe significance of these adults

These links between diversity, earlysocialization, and culture provide credible avenues for exploring attitudes in workplaces that maypositively or negatively efforts to increase organizational diversity.This paper, therefore, examines engineers’ acculturation attitudes about their workplace culture.We define acculturation attitudes as individuals’ preferences for what should happen whendifferent individuals or groups within a given culture interact [29].

On the other hand, studying the region’s rapidsocio-economic transformations may shed some light regarding the vital role of women in non-Western contexts, particularly when it comes to encouraging participation in traditionally male-dominated fields.Attracting “every young mind to engineering” is, for UNESCO, closely related to achieving theMillennium Development Goals

Persons with disabilities are vastlyunderrepresented in engineering disciplines and people with ID experience unemploymentgreater than 60% [8]. With this in mind, we designed this course to both promote an interest inSTEM for all students involved, and we also introduced the idea of self-employment by way ofentrepreneurship as another avenue toward employment and self-determination.Undergraduate students in this course came from several different STEM fields includinginformation systems, business
