Attracting Girls to Technology: Reach Them Before High School Frank Lanzer Anne Arundel Community CollegeAbstractToday, a technology company may “feel good” if 30% of their employees are women butmost will not be engineers. This reflects the facts provided by the National ScienceFoundation showing 35% of the undergraduates in science and math majors are women,while only 10% are in engineering. It’s no wonder that many girls and young womenperceive these fields as “for men”. Recent research shows attitudes and perceptions beingdeveloped early in the secondary education process.During this discussion, current statistics and research with

.ABSTRACTThe transportation engineering is taught in the junior year as a required course for all civilengineering (CE) students. The course provides an introduction to various aspects oftransportation engineering. The course, which is traditionally a lecture course, was redesigned toensure that every student actively participates and understands the physical elements oftransportation design. Throughout the course, the faculty conducted a simulating and engagingexercise of requiring students to solve practical problems during class in teams of twoimmediately after covering the relevant theory. The practical problems were assigned before anyexample problems were solved in the class. During the class, the faculty was available to answerany questions
