The data shown in this paper demonstrate that computingand engineering have made considerable progress in becoming more gender diverse, even if theprogress has not always been on a consistent trend for computing. In contrast, several importantand large disciplinary areas are on course to continue becoming less gender diverse, as theybecome increasingly tilted towards more women receiving degrees. Ready arguments to expressstrong concern for reducing male dominance of computing and engineering can be made alignedwith the high demand and projected continued high demand for STEM degrees and competitivelevels of compensation.

This role is traditionally fulfilled by the instructor, but could also be filled by otherstudents in a cooperative environment. Riofrio and Northrup [13] found that collaboration amongthe students when working on mechatronics based projects increased their comprehension andretention of the material.The contribution of this work is to extend the THK paradigm by designing a kit to be usedexplicitly with MBD.
