With the support from the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science and the Bosch Rexroth Community fund, Lehigh University’s CHOICES (Charting Horizons and Opportunities in Careers in Engineering and Science) Program, established in 1996, introduces middle school girls to engineering by building a strong foundation for women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through hands-on activities geared to allow participants to learn in creative, collaborative, and experiential ways.
The hands-on collaborative learning is what is so unique to the CHOICES experience. The CHOICES program introduces students to problems and critical thinking approaches across the various engineering disciplines.
