Engineer (Barbie). 2013. RandomHouse Books for Young Readers, 2013. 11Here’s an example of why unconscious bias matters. Professors in biology,chemistry, and physics at 6 major universities were sent an application for alaboratory manager position. All professors (127) received the same one-pagesummary. Half the time the applicant’s name was John and the other half Jennifer.On a scale of 1 to 7, professors gave John an average score of 4 for competence andJennifer 3.3. They would be more likely to hire John, and they would offer him moremoney.The bias had no relation to the professors’ age, sex, teaching field or tenure status.(so simply being a women doesn’t

4- and 5- year engineering programs. Standardized test scores are used by most competitive engineering programs as a primary criterion for admission. The average ACT Math score in 2017 was 20.7 with most engineering programs having an engineering score in the mid-high 20s. In order to broaden participation for historically underrepresented minorities in engineering, we must increase early preparation in developing in math proficiency. To address this challenge, the Algebra by the 7th Grade (Ab7G) program was created as an innovative mathematics and engineering enrichment program that teaches elementary age students and their parents how to advance their mathematics skills and engineering knowledge in an out-of-school setting
