The Outlook for Girls In Engineering and Mathematics

Employers of science, technology, engineering and mathematics do not receive sufficient women (Pozniak). School girls occupy only 17% of the candidates for the Computer Science Foundation (AP) (O'Shea). The most important minority behind computer science and science and mathematics degrees is women. "Historically, women's representatives in science and engineering are low, and they are said to be mainly due to lack of abilities, interests, or both" (Horning 30).

I recently worked with 2,000 high school students to pursue a career in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM). Please imagine how interesting it is to see the eyes of older girls when developing the passion of mechanical engineering and to develop many products in front of her. The annual SheTech Explorer Day is one of my favorite activities this year. SheTech, sponsored by the Utah State Women's Technical Committee, is paired with 700 instructors from 200 state state technology companies including Adobe, Ancestry, AT & T, Cox Automotive, Dell EMC, Ivanti, Vivint Smart Home etc. I will. These companies will help girls experience the STEM career opportunities through robotics, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, genetic testing, 3D printing, and diamond cutting.

The role of women in science has been intensely discussed and debated in recent decades. Policy-oriented and academic research explores the scope of topics related to this issue. Girls participate in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) and are studying how women are represented and executed in access to STEM occupations and women's technology. However, only one study investigated women's representation and participation at the National Academy of Sciences. This silence is ironic. These universities respect scientific excellence and integrate scientific discoveries to support evidence-based decision-making. This means they have the ability to contribute to strengthening their country's innovation system. They can advocate more girls and women to participate in the STEM and can make suggestions on system-wide applications in research and innovation from a gender perspective.

Frye is an Associate Professor of Engineering at the Institutional University (UIW) in San Antonio, Texas. He is also a mini GEMS (girls engineering, mathematics, science), director of the free one-sex summer course for girls in 2015. Although budget is very small - this summer, Fry served 108 girls for 4 weeks, 2 weeks summer camp. $ 100,000 or less - The size and extent of MiniGEMS has expanded since Frye began to help girls learn robots and coding. For example, this year, Frye added music components focusing on the importance of the camper.
