Results and implications are discussed in the following manuscript.Introduction The significance of underrepresented women entering STEM (science, technology,engineering, and mathematics) fields and careers is critical for extinguishing the long-lastingnegative stereotypes around women and minorities in the field [1]. Both women and racialminorities have historically been the lowest group to be involved within the STEM fields andhave been so for several years [2].

The hands-on approach in learningusually is the method of choice for the construction students. Engineering and technology courses alwayscontained learning-by-doing components. However, to maximize the student’s natural talents manyconstruction courses are taught as “active learning in a group environment.” The classes are typicallydivided into teams of three students.
