Broadening participation is a term used todescribe increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in STEM fields. This includesproviding STEM exposure, access, and opportunities for individuals from underrepresentedgroups. According to the

In the Industrial and Engineering Technologydepartment, there are eight majors offered to students. Among these choices are MechanicalEngineering Technology, Flight Technology and Construction Management. In all of theseprograms, women are underrepresented. It became important to work towards a more diversecomposition of students. The ACE Academy evolved from this necessity.In the summer of 2004, 23 girls (age 13-16) were accepted at the workshop.
