AB  - Social networking allows for interactions among groups and people that have had little opportunity to do so in prior decades. There are many groups on different platforms, serving a variety of different needs for their members. One such group, established on Facebook, consists of engineering working moms, with the membership loosely defined as a mother who is an engineer and who is employed outside of the home. This group was surveyed, with the survey questions including both quantitative and qualitative items, and appropriate data analysis was carried out.

One area in which the social network had significant impacts was in the retention of engineering mothers in the workforce. Data showed that the support provided by the group contributed to the retention of the group’s members in the workforce, and assisted in their efforts to balance work and personal life. This paper will address these particular aspects of the group’s value to the members, and recommendations will be made for how to leverage the knowledge to better support this particular group in the workforce as they transition throughout their career from recent graduates to seasoned professionals while raising families.
