The studyrevealed that the “Scully Effect” did indeed have a very real impact on women’s participation inthe STEM fields.The power and importance of STEM media representations were even taken up by the Office ofScience and Technology Policy from the Obama Administration White House (The Office ofScience and Technology, 2016).

In too many texts, concepts are given abstractdefinitions, which appear seemingly out of nowhere, that are designed to be the foundation of theproofs that the mathematicians admire and some students may need later. But when theintroductory story is needed, it is missing. It is possible to make ‘true’ statements about a newconcept which do not disclose meaningful information to the student. The student, confrontedwith too many ‘true’ statements which do not make sense, will walk away and select a non-technical career where the courses may be found to be

These are the issues that studentswant to discuss, since the answers they uncover play a significant role in shaping andmotivating their future careers and lives. The fields of science and engineering have ahuge role to play in this discussion, but they need other disciplines to join them at thetable. Engineering students in particular are well equipped to address such big questions,but they benefit greatly from dialogue with students and faculty in other areas. If the goalof higher education is to produce well-rounded and responsible professionals, theninstitutions should seriously consider addressing the issue

Concerned by this troubling observation, coupled with my belief thatengineers should be able to both understand and apply mathematical concepts in theircoursework and careers, I determined to investigate the cause of the problem and, if possible,evidence a potential solution to help students transfer mathematical knowledge into an applied(engineering) context.
