Several outreachevents and similar education programs are described in the literature, with most reportingincreased STEM knowledge and interest among participating girls. Interestingly, the majority ofresearch studies related to STEM outreach have middle school students as participants. However,the results of several studies show that girls should be exposed to STEM in the 10 to 13 years oldage range, when career goals are still undecided. It is this younger group of girls that receives theattention of GEE.STEM Role ModelsLee and Anderson [12] found that middle school students were about three times more likely toname a male mathematical role model

Nearly a decade ago, the document Changing the Conversation [1] synthesized the“image” problem faced by the field of engineering, and designed a series of solution “messages”that were found to be effective in piquing the interest of diverse groups of middle and highschool students. One of the calls to action in the document was for engineering outreach groupsto meet with K-12 students and to frame their visits using the Changing the Conversationmessages.

One of the guiding principles for this stage is that allresults from the outcomes measurements will be condensed into a simple three-level ratingsystem. The three levels are labeled: P defined as ready for professional practice, S, defined assatisfactory performance for that level, and U, defined as unsatisfactory or poor performance atthat level. Based on the course activities, each instructor defines three levels of performance forthat outcome at that stage in a student's academic career. The unique aspect to our approach ishow we use the measurements from each of the required courses to generate what we call anoutcomes transcript for every student in the program. Analogous to the
