Furthermore, they foundthat these types of interactions, peer-to-peer and student-to-faculty, tends to have both ashort- and long-term impact on interest in engineering as a major and a career.While the literature on women in engineering education is rather extensive, thescholarship on the experiences of female engineering students in makerspace-basedprogramming, particularly on participation in engineering design activities, is practicallynon-existent.
