If you feel that sexual harassment is an issue of concern within an engineering environment (academic, industry, etc.), which of the following topics do you feel are important (check all that apply)? a) How to identify it? b) What to do if you encounter it? c) Which departments or persons to contact for help and/or advice? d) Sexual harassment is not an issue of concern2. Do you feel that further information on how to identify and cope with sexual harassment within engineering may be useful to you as you enter into the workforce? a) Yes b) NoGraduating seniors were contacted for participation in this on-line survey through e-mail

This taught them about turning, program modularity, errorchecking, and the importance of testing small portions of code.The second project was a video project. The campers were asked to identify a real-worldproblem and design a solution using robotics. Using the Linkbots, they then had to create a videoto explain the problem and their solution. This project was designed to show them how they canuse their skills in engineering, computing, and robotics to solve problems, something girls seemto identify with.
