As we only interviewed women who hadchosen to study engineering, these female student participants provided valuable insight on themajor choices of their high school classmates. They shared stories of friends who were the topmathematics student in the school or had received fives on AP Physics and Chemistry exams.Their friends were strong students who clearly had the aptitude for engineering, but had chosendifferent fields. We asked each of the female focus groups why their highly qualified friends hadnot chosen to study engineering. Most of the women explained it was because their friendsbelieved engineering careers were anti-social and not about working with, or helping people.Sophie: I know a lot of

This could be easilychanged for next year’s conference by adding full sessions that are more interactive and focusedon connecting students in a professional conference, thus allowing students who wanted moretime to add that to their schedules. Students clearly highly value and want to engage with thecommunity. This indicated that students might want more networking not only out of a desire toadvance their own careers, but also to help each other. By adding more time for it, it would alsohopefully help students feel like others rely on them, which on a higher level ties them morestrongly to community. Also, we note that although the main portion of the conference washighly structured and there were several evening

However, when switching the fluid to water, the property values are emphasizedover the relationships due to the complex relationships hidden behind the steam tables. Therelationships between the various properties is not obvious with the presence of phase change(e.g. boiling) occurring within typical engineering conditions. As a result, students often fail todevelop an intuitive understanding of water property relations. Later in engineering careers,the intuitive deficiency can manifest itself through an over reliance on the computer generatedmodels. Therefore, there is a need to emphasize property relations
