female population based on the 2019 census [1]. Engineering and technology havealways had an important role in addressing the needs of society, it is now gaining recognition foraddressing societal problems. This is recognized and enhanced by an increased representation of womenespecially women of color. This change will result in a positive outcome by bringing more diverse waysof thinking and innovation to the classroom as well as companies that employ them.Literature shows that there are many different reasons for lower recruitment and retention rates forwomen in Engineering and Technology which include preconceived notions on the nature of work andgender stereotypes in these fields. Additionally, there is a lack of access to women role models
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).A new one-semester course was offered to XX University undergraduate engineering students inthe Fall of 2020 to provide students with experience in designing a medical device, while at thesame time following FDA guidelines for medical device approval. Students first identify anunmet clinical need by interviewing members who work in health care fields or by interviewingpatients who use a variety of medical devices. Students also participate in an active-learningcurriculum based on the FDA approval process, computer-aided design, and material selectionfor medical devices. At the conclusion of the course, students are expected to develop a feasibledesign and in some cases a prototype. Furthermore, the

consecutive-days residential institutes. The main goal of all these activities is toplant the seed about technology and engineering in the minds of the young participants.Therefore, a variety of sessions take place in order to show them new technical concepts and tochallenge them to make use of those concepts. For the high-school students, the activities duringthe residential institutes are in the context of emulating a typical design process in industry, fromconcept to prototype. This product development process is valuable because it corresponds withthe type of interpersonal communication, problem-solving, and conflict resolution skills thatleading firms and industry seek from new employees. For the participants from middle schools,the several-days

groups (2-3 students per session), (2) promote interaction with the graduate studentpopulation, and (3) enthuse the students about research and engineering. Although limited paywas available, the major plus for the instructors was the opportunity to create, lead, and modify(based on experience) a small teaching module. Students rated the lab sessions and could postcomments visible both to the instructors and other students. Students used these ratings to helpdecide which labs in which to enroll.Several aspects of this program differed from standard lab courses. Through an innovativecourse management website, instructors and students both had unprecedented schedulingflexibility both in the selection and attendance of lab sessions. There was
