This 11-page paper by Donna Milgram was presented at the 2011 American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Conference. The paper shares the CalWomenTech Project model and strategies, many requiring minimal costs and time commitments, that resulted in increases of female students in technology programs and improved completion rates for both female and male students. The CalWomenTech Project, funded and highlighted by the National Science Foundation, assisted technology programs at eight California two-year colleges in recruiting and retaining more women during an economic recession and state budget crisis that forced the California community college system to cut hundreds of millions of dollars.
