Several studies found women’s career interests duringthe younger years could be influenced if aspects of the curriculum appealed to women’s intrinsicmotivation to improve the lives of people in their communities4,7,9. Engineering outreach is agood avenue for tapping into this inclination; it allows for exploration of different topics in waysoften not available in traditional classrooms, granting students the opportunity to explorecomplex ideas in a group setting.

Though often focused on engineering design and digital fabrication, these spacesoften support a range of activities and technologies, from laser cutting and 3D printing, toelectronics and e-textiles, to carpentry, sewing, painting and digital media, and so have thepotential to attract students who may not have yet identified an interest in engineering.Unlike more traditional curriculum, open-ended makerspaces elicit many sticking points andmoments of uncertainty which can serve as rich contexts for conceptual development anddisciplinary practice

Assistive technologies replaced theubiquitous computer and paper visual interfaces. The course was intended to enable the studentto develop basic mental imagery capability in engineering graphics.
