为了弥合生物科学（通常为女性主导）和工程学（通常为男性主导）之间的差距，生物医学工程活动可能被用作改变女生对工程学整体看法的工具。女性追求STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）学位通常仅限于生物科学，女性获得护理、心理学和社会科学学位的比例很高，但男性仍然存在于物理科学和工程学中。在所有学位级别，女性参与工程学的人数仍然远远低于男性。在这里，研究问题包括女高中生：1）认为工程相关？2)有兴趣和倾向于探索工程在大学和作为一个职业？3)在工程方面有焦虑感吗4)有工程师的“角色自信”吗参与者，随机选择的28名高中生（几乎完全是来自整个DC都会区学校的女性）参加了为期一周的全天研讨会，在那里他们接触到女性工程导师，同龄人以及与BME相关的活动&工程。根据标准STEM调查改编的前后调查对参与者进行了管理。观察到女高中生参加BME实践活动后，对工程的信心和兴趣增加，焦虑减少。
To bridge the gap between the biological sciences (typically female-dominated) and engineering (typically male-dominated), biomedical engineering (BME) activities could potentially be used as a vehicle to alter female students’ perception of engineering as a whole. Female’s pursuit of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) degrees is typically confined to the biological sciences and females earn a high proportion of degrees in nursing, psychology and the social sciences, yet male presence persists in physical sciences and engineering. Female’s participation in engineering remains much lower than men at all degree levels. Here, research questions included do female high school students: 1) perceive engineering as relevant? 2) have an interest & aptitude towards exploring engineering in college and as a career? 3) have anxiety in terms of engineering? 4) have engineering "role-confidence"? Participants, a randomly selected pool of 28 high school students (almost exclusively female from schools throughout the DC Metro area) took part in a week-long, all-day workshop where they were exposed to female engineering mentors, peers, and activities tied to BME & Engineering. Pre and post surveys, adapted from standard STEM surveys, were administered to the pool of participants. Increases in confidence and interest in engineering and decreased anxiety were observed following female high school students’ participation in hands-on activities in BME.
