Abstract
The underrepresentation of women and minorities in engineering is particularly disturbing when one considers the shifting demographics in the workforce by the year 2000. In order to maintain the necessary supply of engineers in the U.S., women must be recruited into engineering careers in greater numbers. Furthermore, to ensure that engineering problems are approached from a variety of angles, women and other `non-traditional' engineers must be sought. Research suggests that the crucial intervention point of encouraging girls to pursue math- and science-related fields such as engineering is during middle school.
