The traditional assumption has been that young womenavoid careers in engineering because of their lack of interest in math or of confidence intheir math skills. This assumption is clearly questionable based on the large number offemale psychologists (63%) and biologists (43%) compared to female engineers (10%).3That study3 also indicates that women who are strong in math, and hence candidates forengineering careers, tend to seek careers in the biological sciences instead because “theyvalue working with people…and don’t

I will return to the idea of creating an SELaware classroom in part 5 of the framework.Part 1: Intentional Grouping Almost every career-oriented role requires collaboration skills; setting studentsup for success using intentionally created student-selected groups is an essential startto any culturally aware STEM classroom. Intentional grouping involves several differenttools that help teachers ensure student success. Brown, et al, write: “When teachers aremindful of the important aspects of group dynamics, such as size, ability, gender, andrace, and plan teams accordingly, every student—particularly those from marginalizedbackgrounds—is set up for success [5].” Teachers need to consider the

Given thatengineering is perceived as a career for people who are good at math and science (e.g., [28]) and thedocumented drop in math and science interest, middle school girls are at a critical tipping point wherefuture outreach may be ineffectual.

It is also important for teams to work on a topic of interest relevant to their researchand career goals, but it was challenging aligning team research topics with all students’ academicbackgrounds.

shows that decisions to pursue STEM in later careers are influenced by early exposureduring K-12 education [1]. This early exposure is also useful in understanding connectionsbetween coursework related to mathematics, science, and liberal arts. For example, a pilot studyfound that students who were introduced to neuroscience in the context of health sciencespossessed an increased knowledge and awareness of the growing concerns related to mentalhealth issues [2]. Another study found that students who pursued higher education in STEMreported having an early personal connection to their field through a family member or friendwith a career in STEM [3].

The open-ended nature of the experience allows numerous learningopportunities for practicing both technical and non-technical skills. While the primary emphasisof capstone design experience is justifiably technical competency, the non-technical aspects areequally important within engineering careers [2]. A structured training within the broad area ofprofessionalism is required to leverage the capstone design experience and better align with thecareer needs.Besides the application of technical knowledge, every capstone project relies on multipleprofessional skills to be successful.
