development and accomplishments, and this affects theirdecision-making and impedes their motivation and academic achievement [13]. STEMinferiority has a negative impact on the self-efficacy, persistence, and progression of girls intoSTEM careers. Girls have reached parity with boys in STEM performance, and so, it is importantthat stereotypes about female inferiority held by teachers, parents, and girls themselves, arecounteracted [10]. Research shows that middle school is a critical time in human development,and the STEM self-efficacy of girls begins to decline at this educational stage [14][15]. As such,middle school is a crucial intervention point to encourage girls to pursue STEM. Middle-schoolgirls who have STEM interests should have access to

Students that prefer the morepractical careers may not relate well with the more theoretical professor, but instead, mayprefer someone with more practical type experience that can relate the in class theory toindustrial examples.Unfortunately, many professors who excel at research and theoretical engineering havenot had the experience of working in the types of jobs many of their students aspire toobtain, and may not be able to relate their knowledge in a manner that appeals to amajority of their students because of this lack of experience. One mechanism forobtaining this practical type experience is educators and municipalities working togetherfor mutual benefit
