In 2001, our enrollment had decreased to 250 students. By 2004,our enrollment had increased to 307, however the next year we were able to maintain above 300.The enrollment of the Electrical Engineering program from 2001 through 2006 is shown in Table1.

The MCCS model notes the importance ofnumerous support systems within a college, including social, academic, and professionalsystems. We utilize the MCCS model to establish the support systems that need to be consideredfor undergraduate students in engineering programs. Foundational elements of supports in the MCCS include: 1- academic support, 2- peer-interaction support, 3- extracurricular support, 4- faculty-interaction support, 5- professionaldevelopment support, and 6- additional support.

A key feature of the ''Circuit Analysis Tool for Education''(CATE) system is the ability to automatically generate topologically distinct circuits with step-by-step solutions. These problems are used for examples, practice, and for out-of-classassignments. Circuit problems can be readily refreshed for each new section of a course.

Even with consistent,targeted efforts in the last ten years, the number of women receiving engineering degrees hasdecreased slightly. While the rate of completion is well examined, the underlying factors, whichhelp to explain why, have not been fully explored. To understand how women experienceundergraduate engineering, three distinct stages in the educational journey will be examined: inthe second year
