Interventions Defined, Implemented, and Evaluated -- A 1978 study concluded that high school mathematics became a "critical filter" affecting women and minorities who considered majoring in science and engineering. The result was a series of new intervention programs in mathematics and engineering targeted at women. These programs focused on improving and increasing women's interest and participation in the fields of mathematics and science. Design and evaluation of the programs stemmed from then-current developments and research.
