of the success of the program, since engineering technology education typically has a very low percentage of female and minority students. Thirty-seven freshman students entered the program this fall, and the retention of these students in the program is a prime goal. Thirty-eight percent of this class is female and/or minority. Since over one third of the high school population will eventually be involved in the tech prep program, the high school/university collective effort should see significant growth. The program has allowed the university to present modern technology and its rewards to high school students before it is too late for them to register for courses which will qualify them for

Dr. Giancola’s current work focuses on developing methodological processes to embed evaluation into human services programs, such that program development can be driven by reliable and valid information and impact findings can be properly interpreted. Much of her work employs theory-based methods, not to replace rigorous research designs, but rather to supplement, in order to better understand implementation and effectiveness. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 ADVANCE Women’s Leadership at the University of Delaware
