Women earn more overall undergraduate degrees than men, yet remainunderrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) undergraduatedegrees and workforce (NSF, NCSES, 2015).

For the 800 million people who go hungry each day and the one billion who lack access to clean water, poverty is an absence of opportunity. Engineers Without Borders is responding to this urgent need, helping people in developing communities gain access to technologies that will improve their lives. We believe that technology, when appropriately incorporated into each community's social, cultural, economic and political context, can drive extraordinary change.The focus of EWB is on developing the technical capacity at the local level in developingcountries to ensure that innovative

evaluated after three years.IntroductionCentral Washington University (CWU) is a state-supported university that serves approximately8,000 students, including graduate students. 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.
