Our data suggest that women whoparticipated in VITDP experienced increased opportunities for participation and leadership, thushelping them to hone their engineering skills and boost their self confidence regarding theirengineering abilities. In addition, many of these young women articulated how the projecthelped them feel connected—to their own experiences, to others, and to the material —and howthey learned more as a result. We believe the increased opportunities and self-confidencewomen experienced are the result of cultural shifts in how chemical engineering education takesplace at The University of Akron, influencing not only how
