same color badge. Tables weredesignated for each group with a matching color sign.As previously mentioned, the event consisted of two parts. The first part was a teamrace modeled after “The Amazing Race” television show. The Coach/Mentee Teamswere handed an initial clue card which lead to various locations on campus; locationswere hidden within riddles the teams had to decipher. Sample riddles have beenprovided in Appendix B. It was essential to get the teams interacting immediately, inorder to break the ice and create immediate relationships, so the race served as an idealmeans to get the students talking and working together.Once the location was determined and the team arrived, an additional clue card wasgiven for the next stop on the race

…:” Making Meanings of Being a Woman in EngineeringAbstractEngineering is often described as one of the last bastions of a macho culture where womencontinue to experience minority status. In this article we ask, how do women make meaning ofthis status? We explore this question in the context of students‟ socialization into the professionover the course of their engineering education. Drawn from diary data, our findings show thatyoung women hold multiple and contradictory perspectives about their status as women inengineering. The strands of these perspectives are articulated around (a) a feminist critique, (b)gender essentialism, (3) meritocracy and individualism, and (d) exceptionalism. These findingssuggest that their taken-for-granted assumptions

Given thatthe National Science Foundation Regional Center for Convergence Technology grant has as itsgoal the recruitment of underserved populations into the field of convergence technology, the“Girls are IT” workshop is designed to assist in accomplishing this goal by attracting more girlsinto studying these subjects.
