Study of Experiences of Women Engineering Students and the Role of Campus LibrariesAbstract Despite decades-long efforts to increase intersectional diversity in STEM fields,engineering lags behind other STEM disciplines in representation of women. In the UnitedStates, women comprise 27.5% of the undergraduate engineering enrollment and 29.1% ofgraduate engineering enrollment. Increasing recruitment, retention, and improving post-graduateoutcomes is an area of deep interest to universities. University libraries are essential for studentsuccess, contributing to both academic achievement and feelings of belonging on campus – keyfactors in retention and post-graduate outcomes.

In 2018, researchers at MIT published a studyaddressing the racial bias seen in a commercially available facial recognition software. Theyfound that the software had a 34.7% error rate when analyzing “darker-skinned females” butonly had an error rate of only 0.8% for “lighter-skinned males” [18]. This example is one ofmany that highlight how lacking diversity when considering a problem leads to poor design.Dewsbury et al. suggests educators adopt inclusivity into their classroom, which he defines as“an intentional practice of recognizing and working to mitigate biases that

Another aspect of outcomes-based education is that the unit of analysisis the program or sub-elements of it. This focus on the program can emphasize the intendedcurriculum rather than the received curriculum. The intended curriculum is what programsbelieve that students learn rather than what is actually experienced (received) by students.Continual quality management (and outcomes-based education) has an implicit assumption thatquality can be defined sufficiently well to make some sort of
