- Abstract
The article discusses the benefits of the Engineering-A-Future (EAF) outreach program for middle school age girls in the U.S. The program was established by the Colleges of Engineering and Education at Tennessee Tech University which aims to promote an interest in career options that are still considered nontraditional for females among elementary and middle school girls. Another objective of EAF is to provide a strong role model for young women in the field of engineering. Moreover, a program associated with EAF was conducted to parents and guardians of participants which include topics like preparing for success in college and funding a college education.
