Programs, which is stillcalled FEMME for the original name, “Females in Engineering: Methods, Motivation andExperiences”, was designed specifically for young girls in an effort to increase the number ofwomen interested in engineering and other technological careers. Although research on thebenefits and relative effectiveness of single-gender education remains inconclusive, considerableresearch does describe many benefits of single-gender education for girls in addition to improvedacademic performance, including increased confidence and self-efficacy, being more likely toask questions, and maintaining behaviors that tend to disappear due to male dominance in theclassroom [90].

The importance of engagementhas been identified as key to retention, learning, and the development of self-regulated learners[3] – [9]. Interest as an affective state representing students’ experience of learning has beenproposed to be the result of integration of the three dimensions of engagement which arebehavioral, cognitive and affective engagement [10], [11].The effect of engagement in meaningful academic activities on retention of first year students [5]showed statistically significant impacts on GPA and persistence. It was also noted aproportionally higher positive impact of educationally engaging activities on
above letter, the US Department of Commerce conducted a series ofinterviews with institutions across the nation in an effort to understand howuniversities are nurturing and promoting innovation/entrepreneurship and publishedthe “The Innovative and Entrepreneurial University; Higher Education, Innovation &Entrepreneurship in Focus” (2). While there is significant research on innovation andentrepreneurship within the formal curriculum (3, 4) there is less focus on extra-curricular programs. Authors believe informal programs offer a great opportunity toengage engineering students in activities promoting innovation and entrepreneurshipas it has been shown by the impact of Innovation Challenges on the development ofinnovative skills (5).

the “nature of recursive social practices that help usconceive both stability and change” [p. 302]. Lastly, student agency has been defined as “the waysstudents develop personally through engagement with knowledge” [24]. This characterization ofstudent agency is similar to Svihla et al. [21]. Both studies focused on students developing agencyas an integral piece for navigating pathways into their career as an engineer.Along with varying theoretical underpinnings of agential frameworks, multiple approaches wereused to investigate student learning, such as a multiple case study, narrative analysis, andphenomenography. The narrative analysis conducted by Case [23] highlighted how the studentsfelt constrained by the curriculum, which in turn

And the Design Justice principles can be a concrete set of guidelines that canhelp teach engineering students how to integrate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practicesin their profession.Research shows [3], while typical engineering programs have plenty of design content, theconcepts of design justice are rarely taught. This paper talks about the experiences of introducingsome of the concepts of design justice into several undergraduate courses. It was done through acase study of a section of an interstate that was built in the 1950s cutting across a thrivingneighborhood that was eventually decimated.
