environments congruent withtheir traits and that congruency is associated with better outcomes [47], [48]. P-E fit is a multi-level construct encompassing fit between the person and organization (P-O), person and job (P-J), person and workgroup (P-G), and person and supervisor (P-S) in addition to fit betweenperson and vocation (P-V). I located two studies of women leaving the engineering professionthat utilized one P-E fit theory, Theory of Workplace Adjustment (TWA). These studies foundthat women leave the engineering profession due to a mismatch between their needs andworkplace values [1] and confirmed that gender differences exist in their reasons for leaving[19]. Findings from other studies on workplace factors suggest the exploration of fit

This isconsistent with the results from Rodriguez & Esparrago [21]’s study which used the intrinsicmotivation inventory to determine that male and female students have significant differences inhow they are motivated by choice. Their study, which used a pretest/posttest design to study theimpacts of a multinational design project on motivation, found that female students did notexperience a reduction in their choice score after the design project. It is possible that the resultsof the current study describe consistency in the female student’s motivational scores alongside adecrease in overall academic motivation for males although this cannot be determined for

Future research should incorporate other methodologies toexplore what causes such decreases in women undergraduates’ engineering identity. Aqualitative analysis could include female undergraduates to have more information and betterunderstanding of how their engineering identity is shaped in an inclusive curriculum.References[1] “The State of U.S. Science and Engineering 2020 | NSF - National Science Foundation.” https://ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsb20201/u-s-s-e-workforce (accessed Feb. 15, 2021).[2] G.

opportunities in which to remove barriers for womenwithin the engineering and computing discipline by understanding their experiences and participation in the fields.I. INTRODUCTION Recent reports from the National Science Foundation (NSF) have indicated that while the number of women in Science and Engineering (S&E) related jobs continue to grow, the group remains underrepresented in the S&E workforce relative to their overall presence in the population [1]. The lack of women in STEM transcends traditional narratives on the importance of broadening participation and increasing STEM diversity because of the nuanced issues women face in a male dominated field. Issues concerning women feeling unwelcomed in STEM begin at the academic level and

The process will include(1) a similar survey with recruitment specifically targeted at underrepresented women in STEMto identify any additional challenges they may face, and (2) further data analysis of the existingdata set to assess differences between women in academia vs. non-academic jobs. Finally, sincethis survey was completed pre-COVID future assessment will be conducted to determine thechange in women’s challenges/needs during and post-pandemic.References[1] S. Fayer, A.

[22]. During World War II (1939-45),women engaged in roles that were previously exclusive to males although women did not benefitequally [34]. The 1960’s and 1970’s led to the creation of law and programs to promote equityand challenge gender-related disparities including the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the Title IX of theEducation Amendments Act of 1972, and the Women’s Educational Equity Act of 1974 to namea few. Nonetheless, these women scientists continued to bring “modest but essential change tohigher education in the years 1972-1985” [35, p. 39].In the Nineteenth and Twentieth century, women studying or working in engineering wereperceived as outcasts. The first women pursuing engineering were labeled as “others”; a smallthreatening group of
governments and universities [1] [2]. Chile is no exception.In 2019, 28.7% of students who entered STEM disciplines were women, increasing only by 1.3% in2020 to 30%. Family, cultural, economic and social factors influence this under-representation, factorswhich tend to reduce women´s self-concept on learning and ability in this area. Women have lowerself-concept in the STEM disciplines than do men, consequently the dropout rate for women is doublethat of men [3].An intervention was designed aiming to promote and increase self-concept in learning capabilities infirst-year engineering students in Computer Engineering and Industrial Engineering. Such interventionwas based on three types of collaborative activities within the classroom, which seek to

Shementioned that her classmates weren’t as respectful as her supervisors and they didn’t value heropinion. Based on this response, Kayla was describing inauthenticity due to a confident maleculture of engineering within school which was similar to Chachra et al.’s [32] and Faulkner’s[25] findings.Engineering Identity DevelopmentA critical piece of engineering identity development is recognition as an engineer.
