In addition to contextualizing science and engineering as real world applications, ourapproach forecasts the professional practice of various types of engineering careers. Thisapproach allows first- and second-year students to experience the work of a professionalengineer in a developmentally appropriate form as a means of learning the domain of chemistry.Special consideration has also been given to designing for populations sensitive to

(STEM) education is an effective catalyst toengage students in science & engineering careers. STEM continues to support the long-term goalof preparing students for life-long careers that promise a competitive edge in the job market.However, STEM program development is often challenging. Wu-Rorrer [1] argues that “STEMremains vaguely defined, and the strategies to successfully integrate it into the currenteducational system remain elusive”, inferring that a school’s STEM program is amorphous.Furthermore, STEM programs need more work than before with recent pressure to promoteinclusivity [2] and a solid career path [3] in a stable environment [4]. To better solve thisdilemma, there remains an aspect of STEM programs that is overlooked – the

andmentors, seeing women that look like them is a significant factor in both recruitment and retention [2, 3].Data showed that in the U.S. only 6% of 15-year old young women are interested in engineering careers[1]. Researchers believe that the low level of interest in young women is due to lack of exposure and thebelief that it is too hard and by engaging young women with university faculty and women engineers inthe industry as early as middle school could result in a higher interest to pursue engineering education inthe future [2]. A program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute showed that early intervention was associatedwith better engineering and university recruitment outcomes [4].
