This program specifically encourages girls to pursue careers in scientific and technological fields where women are traditionally underrepresented, offering a sense of unity among young girls in STEM.
The NJIT ECPP Aeronautical Engineering (FEMME5) program is designed for girls completing 5th grade to explore the exciting field of aeronautical engineering. Participants engage in hands-on activities such as building and launching model airplanes, drones, and rockets. The curriculum introduces foundational aeronautical engineering topics like aerodynamics, design, and manufacturing. The program aims to motivate learning, raise students' expectations of success, and nurture a long-term interest in STEM fields. It also fosters critical thinking, encouraging students to envision themselves as competent decision-makers in scientific and technological careers.
A typical day includes classroom discussions, laboratory experiments, projects, recreation periods, and lunch, along with field trips throughout the program.
This program is best for girls completing 5th grade who are interested in exploring scientific and technological fields, particularly aeronautical engineering, through hands-on activities.
