Evaluation of Interactive Multidisciplinary Curricula in a Residential Summer ProgramAbstract Previous studies have indicated that women account for about 18% of the engineeringdegrees awarded in the United States. Consistently low populations of women in engineering areoften attributed to discrimination, the perception that engineering is a masculine domain, and alack of understanding about the roles and responsibilities of an engineer. In order to increaseparticipation of women in engineering, universities develop outreach programs designed to bettereducate students (and the public) about engineering. Programs in the form of informationsessions, seminars or research activities are informative but often are not
