In 2017, 21% of engineering bachelor degrees were awarded towomen. The percentage for women civil engineering graduates was slightly higher at 25% [1].The persistence rate for female engineering students is similar to males, at about 60% [5].This paper addresses a potential new approach to energize students about careers in engineering.The RePicture App can be used for any science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) careeror project, but is currently populated mostly with information related to civil engineering.Expectancy-Value Theory Regarding Engineering PersistenceSeveral studies [6], [7], [8] have used the

Given the centrality of technology today,engineering students will help shape our future, significantly. Yet often they lack theprofessional skillset to reach the greatest promise in their careers and as citizens. How canprofessional skills be developed through experiential practice?

. Furthermore, while writing remains an essential means ofcommunication, visual digital technologies such as video and still photography have gainedwidespread acceptance and are now ubiquitous as primary modes for communication, notablyvia web-based means. Despite recognition for the need to embrace "new media" courses thatdirectly address creativity and effective communication using such tools are not plentiful withinthe engineering curriculum. There are many competing interests that influence curriculum designthat will equip the next generation of engineers to be technically competent, competitive in theglobal economy, and effective as responsible citizens.

A complete diagram of the conceptual model can be found in Figure 1. his conceptual model will be used as the framework for the study. The conceptual model wasTdeveloped to understand the choice of engineering major at an R1 institution similar to the one in this study. Since the model was developed in a similar context, it is likely transferable for the context of this study. Although the conceptual model crosses multiple life stages, the factors identified in this study will follow the high school stage since participants extensively discussed that stage. Additionally, the model was created to

is an increasingconcern in the United States that high school students are lacking in math and science skillsleaving them ill-prepared for college programs in the sciences, technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM).1 According to a recent report form the US Department of Education, theUnited States ranks 27th in the world in mathematics problem solving,2 reiterating the point thatUS high school students are not well prepared for college after completing high school mathclasses. At one Southwest Florida university, more than 60% of the first year students were notacademically prepared for college calculus, prolonging their entry into the engineering programand increasing the time the students will spend in college. These deficiencies
in students’ innovation13 and can create amismatch between how students perceive engineering as a field and how they perceive themselvesas people who engage in engineering, often resulting in a lack of belonging and ultimately,attrition13–16. As a result, a gap of understanding how to develop students with diverse andinnovative mindsets in engineering education remains.In a 2014 visit to Purdue University, Paul Eremenko, founding CEO of Airbus Group SiliconValley technology and business innovation center and former director at Google, stated, It strikes me that there are two families or reasons why [we need diversity]…One is social justice.

’ STEM degrees.BackgroundIn 2017, researchers from the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) sought to understand thesuccess rates of students who began their postsecondary education at a community college inpersisting and completing bachelor’s degrees in engineering and technology. Their hypothesiswas that community college women were moving out of these majors at higher rates than theirmale counterparts, a phenomenon that has historically been seen in four-year STEM programs[1]. With community colleges serving as a popular pathway for underrepresented students inSTEM, efforts to increase diversity in engineering and technology professions must considerways to increase success of students who begin their studies at a two-year college.
