teachers are wellversed in math and science through their formal education, very few have experience and/oreducational backgrounds in engineering and technology. To promote STEM careers, a partnership among university engineering faculty,practicing engineers, and secondary schools is necessary; it is important to demonstrate to youngpotential STEM professionals the relevance of STEM activities. In addition to interacting withpracticing professionals, authentic experiential learning activities for students in secondaryeducation can promote STEM careers. Recently, the authors were awarded a National ScienceFoundation (NSF) grant as part of the Innovative Technology Experiences for Students andTeachers (ITEST) program to develop such

females in science and engineeringIntroductionThe concerns of low numbers of women in STEM have led to studies on the attrition1 and theimplementations of programs for the female students2. Studies found that students who withdrawfrom STEM majors are less involved in extra-curricular engineering activities, have lowerengineering self-efficacy and career expectations, but higher anxiety1, 3. However, the averageGPA of women who withdraw from STEM is no different than that of others1. To increase theretention of women in STEM, solutions have been proposed by many studies such as facilitatingcommunities for females4-5, involving peer mentors6-9, and mentoring by faculty and/or womenengineers10.According to the American Association of University

However,the reality today is that most engineering graduate students (GSs) go on to non-academic careers[3], [4].
