for Engineering Education, 2024 Factors Impacting Retention of Mothers in Engineering Careers: Flexibility, Bias, Balance, and Benefits of Social NetworkingAbstractSocial networking allows for interactions among groups and people that have had littleopportunity to do so in prior decades. There are many groups on different platforms, serving avariety of different needs for their members. One such group, established on Facebook, consistsof engineering working moms, with the membership loosely defined as a mother who is anengineer and employed outside the home. This group was surveyed, with the survey questionsincluding both quantitative and qualitative items, and appropriate data analysis was carried out.One area in which the social

Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, MI 49008 Email: matthew.cavalli@wmich.eduIntroductionTo be successful in their chosen careers, engineers require both technical expertise andcomplementary skills like the ability to communicate effectively, to both lead and contribute toteams, and to manage interpersonal dynamics and potential conflicts. ABET, the primaryaccrediting body for engineering programs in the U.S., includes many of these skills the currentstudent outcomes for engineering programs, shown in Table 11. While the specific wording ofthe ABET outcomes changes periodically, they have included non-technical components since amajor revision in 2000. At that time, Shuman2

The program was specifically aimed at both academic and professional preparation inaddition to the general mentorship aspects. The program in [11] focused on multiple themes ofresource recognition, personal preparation, career preparation, and network building, along withmentoring. It required three deliverables from participants, with a requirement to set up aLinkedIn profile, send a resume or c.v. to the program coordinator, and conduct at least oneinformational interview. Professional development components including seminars andworkshops were also reported in [10]. The program at University of New Mexico reported in [19]included workshops and field
