Results show student gainsin both educational and team building outcomes.Literature ReviewComing into college, many students choose engineering because they excelled in math andscience courses in their high school, but when they begin their first semester, they may becompletely unsure of which engineering discipline they want to pursue. Ultimately, many ofthem might not even be aware of what a career in engineering entails. A study at Colorado StateUniversity shows

).Our research question is: what is the impact of adding women-associated “helping” disciplines(BME and ENV) on the percentage of women undergraduate students enrolled at an engineeringschool as a whole and within traditional disciplines at that school?BackgroundSocial psychology research distinguishes between careers perceived to meet communal goals—often defined based on their benefit to other people—and careers believed to align with moreindividualistic, agentic goals. This distinction is significant because a) there is a perceiveddisassociation between STEM fields and communal goals, and b) women are more likely thanmen to endorse communal goals3,4. The stereotypes women and girls hold about the nature ofengineering work, including the
