2014 NDSU ECE-GIRLS

ECE-GIRLS (Girls Explore Electrical and Computer Engineering) was a three-day program to introduce high school female students to the attractive fields of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). The goal of this program was to instill an interest in ECE and to increase the number of high school graduates majoring in this field. It was held on December 8th, 10th, and 12th, 2014 on North Dakota State University main campus.

Seven female high school students were selected from high schools in the Fargo-Moorhead area to participate in ECE-GIRLS. During ECE-GIRLS, a variety of activities were incorporated, exposing girls to ECE hands-on experiences and role models. The three-day program activities are detailed as follows. Student surveys were conducted at the end of the program. The participants rated the ECE-GIRLS favorably. All of them agree that ECE-GIRLS helped them have an understanding of ECE topics and they would encourage other girls to participate in ECE-GIRLS in the future.
