One of the primary goals of the North Carolina State University College of Engineering (COE) is to enroll the best undergraduate students possible. One factor hampering the achievement of this goal is the lack of interest of many female high school students in the traditionally male-dominated field of engineering.

Some Dilemmas Confronting The Educational Theatre, Jared Brown

Jared Brown

"Educational theatre": the term itself implies a dichotomy, or perhaps an amalgam of two quite different phenomena.
