Both academic and industry experiences help to shape students as they becomeengineers.There has been some research on how male and female engineers and engineering students differin their experiences. Since women remain a largely untapped resource in meeting the demand fora skilled scientific workforce, it is important to understand why they remain underrepresented inboth engineering programs and industry.

Tinto believes students’ success incollege is based upon their preparation for higher education, and their environment in college[14]. Tinto’s research found that LLCs tend to create their own support groups, and spend moretime outside of class together than non-participants. This type of supportive relationship provesthat LLC participants gain more than just a deeper understanding of their course material [9].Similarly, Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) from Lent, Brown, and Hackett is used toexamine how

PTG seeks to better understand thesebarriers and to tailor academic and social support initiatives so that these students may thrive incollege. This section summarizes what is known about rural, low-income STEM students, howexisting retention initiatives may be adapted to support these students, and how PTG maycontribute to this knowledge base.Rural Arkansas continues to struggle economically, which has greatly limited K-12 academicofferings for its students.

Several outreachevents and similar education programs are described in the literature, with most reportingincreased STEM knowledge and interest among participating girls. Interestingly, the majority ofresearch studies related to STEM outreach have middle school students as participants. However,the results of several studies show that girls should be exposed to STEM in the 10 to 13 years oldage range, when career goals are still undecided. It is this younger group of girls that receives theattention of GEE.STEM Role ModelsLee and Anderson [12] found that middle school students were about three times more likely toname a male mathematical role model

Third, there arepre-engineering programs developed to improve student awareness as to the types ofengineering professions available through career exploration.

Additionally, students at two-year institutionswho subsequently transferred to a four-year institution had, on average, a higher socioeconomicstatus than those who did not transfer to a four-year institution [13].
