skills, this intervention also includes a classroomcomponent involving an innovative video game programming curriculum developed by the investigators. Theimpact of this intervention will be assessed at a critical developmental period: the entry into high school (9th grade).Over the three-year period of the project, the groups of participants have been assessed on a number of differentvariables to develop a model of how these variables impact the cognitive interventions. These variables have allbeen implicated in lowered academic performance, and the information provided by the model will allow thedevelopment of future non-academic interventions associated with these variables to enhance the impact ofcognitive training.IntroductionAn Information

© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 AN OVERNIGHT VISITATION PROGRAM FOR INCOMING FEMALE ENGINEERING STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLEAbstractThe United States continues to lag far behind other developed nations in producingprofessional engineers, including starkly low numbers of female engineers. Thisemployment shortage is a national problem that must be addressed in a more strategicallyfocused manner (Chubin, May, & Babco, 2005). Exposing more young women toeducational opportunities and assisting their integration into the college environment is avital step to recruiting more females into this field. This paper presents a program thatinvites incoming female engineering students to campus for an
