Areas of interest included: the theoretical pros and cons of single-sexlearning environments, the efficacy of informal STEM outreach programs in increasing STEMinterest or STEM identity, and the importance of the development of 21st Century learning skillsin today’s educational paradigm.Single-gender education pros/consThe literature related to the effect of single-gender education is conflicting.

First, undergraduate research is an efficient approach to motivate students to applyclassroom knowledge to real world. For engineering major students, such hands-on experience iscritical and may include how in reality to design a model, fabricate a product, set up anexperiment, analyze experimental data, etc. Second, undergraduate research can help students toimprove their communication skills through discussions with advisors and colleagues, to learn
