AB  - Parent Daughter Engineering Night is an outreach event targeting 7th-12th grade girls hosted by Weber State University.  This event joins a parent with his or her daughter for an evening of engineering challenges designed with problem-based learning (PBL) methodology.  This paper describes the need to address some of the psychological factors of under-represented minorities (URM) within engineering.   By creating an environment where belonging is promoted and stereotyping is decreased the Parent Daughter Engineering night achieves an atmosphere that is inclusive of women and girls.  This event is designed to demonstrate the role and place of women in the engineering disciplines through guest speakers and facilitators.  This paper describes the basic structure of the event and schedule and details the engineering challenges that have been used for the past five years of hosting the event.  This paper describes key lessons learned in the organization and facilitation of the event as well as opportunities for virtual events to be held to target communities that are not located near institutions of higher learning.  Finally, this paper concludes that the Parent Daughter Engineering night event is a positive way to promote the inclusion of girls into engineering fields and connect with the K12 community.
