To address thisgap, pre-college engineering programs play an important role by recruiting, encouraging, andmaintaining female students' interests in STEM. Research has identified some effective practicesto recruit girls in secondary schools into STEM majors, such as summer programs with genderparity (50% girls) [6]. However, such practice may only be effective when the programs alsoraise awareness of gender stereotypes and perceived gender roles that have an impact on STEMmotivation and engagement [2

We may also notice how our students seem more motivated by PBL,demonstrating greater engagement, excitement, and effort. As instructors, we too may experiencegreater motivation, connection with our students, and fulfillment when engaged in PBL.
