In many cases, they may also be advised to not become interestedin business, again the subject being too technical for girls. They are told they could have careersin sales (non-technical of course), home economics, nursing, or teaching in non-technicalsubjects, all

Therefore, it’s important to bereaching out to all STEM faculty at CCs in order to have an impact on student interest inengineering.The overall goal for UCB’s Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) program is to improve theeducation offered within the CC system of California by developing the CC facultyprofessionally in order to give them the opportunity to create and enhance course curricula.Previous research has shown that course-work at the introductory level has led to high-performing students leaving STEM fields. Evidence shows that by improving teaching methods,students will be more likely to persist and succeed in obtaining an engineering
