Corroborating the need forearly outreach is a recent study by Nosek et al.11 that compared math and science performance ofstudents with gendered perceptions of those fields in 34 countries. As national bias towardsconsidering science as ‘masculine’ increased, so too did the gender gap on achievement scores.They also found that a significant number of students who do enter university in a STEM fielddrop out before gaining a degree. However, research has shown that the students who leaveSTEM are just as capable as those who persist. In addition, researchers have found gendereddifferences in reasons for persisting or leaving engineering between males and females 12,13.While less research has been done regarding

This allows a comparison ofexplicit, implicit, and tacit learning and to analyze at what point the student begins to thinkbeyond the textbook with less of a process based mindset and more of an event based mindset.
