By the time students reach college, 1 in 5 young menplan on majoring in engineering or computing while only 1 in 17 young women declare the same[3]. Since 1990, the percentage of female computing professionals dropped from 35% to about24% today, and if that trend continues, the share of women in the nation’s computing workforcewill decline to 22% by 2025 according to Girls Who Code [4]. These statistics provide themotivation for a program called Project-based Work Studio (PWS) developed at a mid-sizedAppalachian primarily undergraduate university supported by an NSF S-STEM grant to build amore proportionate female workforce in computer science, engineering, and

Technological and Engineering Literacy/Philosophy of Engineering

.3 Though not anexhaustive comprehension, engineering literacy develops citizens through their participation in aculture and society that depends on engineering projects. Engineering literate persons functionfully within such a society, participating in engineering projects not only insofar as engineeringtraining is required, but also in recognition of the broader social impact of those projects. In previous work in engineering literacy, we identified four major factors as significant inself-assessments of engineering literacy: Basic knowledge of engineers and engineering, Impactsof engineering on human life, Thinking and acting like an engineer, and Basic skills in the use oftechnology.4 We used these factors to develop a survey that

In the class project, students participate inneed-knower identification and recruitment processes. In this preliminary study, we ask: what canstudents learn through this process? Given only a small handful of student groups produce aphysical device that can be given to the need-knower at the end of the term for daily use, we ask:how do students portray this expectation? With the lessons provided, students expand theirunderstanding of disability and accurately

Over the last twodecades pre-college engineering programs and pathways have been developed toprepare K-12 students for engineering degree programs at the post-secondary level. Asecondary goal of these pathways was to broaden interest in engineering professionsand diversify the engineering pipeline.
