How Outreach Camps that Incorporate Design Affects Female High School Students’ Interest in Engineering and Perceptions of Engineering Design (Evaluation)

Abstract

under Professor Paul Braun. Her research was split: focusing on manipulating eutectic material microstructures for optical applications and examining how engineering outreach programs influence participants' self-perceptions of engineering and self-confidence. Her interests lie in materials education and STEM outreach.
