The two academies used mini-lectures and team-oriented hands-on projects to engage 43 student participants in different engineering disciplines and their designprocesses. College staff placed student participants in either the Batmen Academy or WonderWomen Academy based on their gender. Researchers gave each student participant a LikertScale survey to test their expectations and experience. The surveys provided insight intostudents’ knowledge of various engineering disciplines, their interests to pursue engineeringcareers, their interests to take more math and science high school courses post completion of theacademies, and their perception of the college environment.

AbstractThis paper explores what elements and concepts should be included in a pre-college, widelyavailable digital course designed to better guide, inform, and prepare high school studentsinterested in pursuing a career in engineering. The purpose of the course is to provide a digitaltool for exploration by high school students and their advising network as they seek to gain abetter understanding of what an engineering education and career entails. As the investigationhas progressed, the potential benefit of developing separate courses for “guide and inform” and“prepare” is appearing.

In 1997, 12% of the science andengineering doctorates were awarded to women. Blacks earned 3% and Hispanics earned almost4% of all science and engineering doctorates. Accordingly, the pool of potential female andminority engineering educators is very small.
