We also saw a significant increase in the number of students that wantedto pursue careers in biomedical engineering. These findings demonstrate that informingstudents about engineering fields is an important first step in increasing the number ofstudents that pursue these fields.

In the Week 4reflections, these five female students used words such as “self conscious,” “disadvantage,” and“insecure” when reflecting on being a woman in engineering. One student wrote that “manypeople don’t take me seriously when I tell them I am an engineering major [b]ecause they think Ilook more like a liberal arts student.” Another student wrote that her identity as a Hispanic, low-income, and female caused “conflict in my personal life because close family and family friendsdon’t
