The activity introduced them to prominent women in chemical engineering, and raised their awareness of these female engineers' contributions to engineering and society. The results showed that the activity was effective in dispelling the teachers' misperceptions of engineers and engineering. Teachers and professors can use the examples of these prominent female chemical engineers as role models to inspire their female students who are aspiring to become engineers.
