This paper concludes that secondary school participation and achievement in physics courses is a critical differential factor as one explanatory element of female engineering enrollment levels and provides specific recommendations as to how to increase interest, enrollment, and achievement in physics, including the segregation of entry-level engineering courses based on previous experience.</style></abstract><doi><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10.1061/(asce)1052-3928(2009)135:3(95)</style></doi><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">41573773</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Laefer, Debra F. 1; Email Address: debra.laefer@ucd.ie; Affiliation: 1: Tenured Lecturer, Head of Urban Modelling Group, School of Architecture, Landscape and Civil Engineering, Univ.
