Attracting Girls to Technology: Reach Them Before High School Frank Lanzer Anne Arundel Community CollegeAbstractToday, a technology company may “feel good” if 30% of their employees are women butmost will not be engineers. This reflects the facts provided by the National ScienceFoundation showing 35% of the undergraduates in science and math majors are women,while only 10% are in engineering. It’s no wonder that many girls and young womenperceive these fields as “for men”. Recent research shows attitudes and perceptions beingdeveloped early in the secondary education process.During this discussion, current statistics and research with

. 2019 FYEE Conference : Penn State University , Pennsylvania Jul 28 Work in Progress: The effectiveness of writing interventions on first- year engineering reports.How do engineers learn to write like engineers? The answer to this question lies, in part, in theconcept of transfer, which is the ability to apply knowledge to a new set of circumstances [1].Students at colleges and universities who pursue degrees in engineering disciplines enroll invarious course requirements, including first-year composition. The first-year compositionsequence is intended to teach all students the writing skills that are necessary for theirdisciplines. Yet, this transfer from the discipline of composition does not always
