federallyfunded research in mathematics, science, and engineering and encouraging United States citizensto work in these fields. Since we rely on public schools to provide high-school graduatesprepared to enter these careers and task our universities with preparing tomorrow’s innovativeworkforce, it is critical to examine our students’ perceptions of their own skill development,feelings of self- efficacy, and formation of STEM identities throughout the STEM pipeline.Underrepresentation of Women in EngineeringAs an underrepresented group in the STEM fields, young women’s standards for mathematicsachievement are lower than young men’s, resulting in lower self-efficacy and greater feelings ofself-doubt that negatively contribute to a woman’s decision to

of all employed college graduates, but they represent only 12% of those withcollege degrees working in engineering occupations. Minority women make up less than twopercent of engineering professionals[20].The study explores the external support systems that assist these women through the beginningstage of their careers; of particular interest is support provided by professional associations andwhether or not that support is adequate.Data is collected through one-on-one interviews of underrepresented minority femaleengineers who graduated from an ABET-accredited university with a bachelor's degree between2011 and 2015. The data collected is analyzed to identify patterns and themes aroundthe challenges that underrepresented minority female

gender balances likely cannot use the strategy of advertising their genderratios to attract more women, schools may find it progressively easier to attract women as theirfemale enrollment rises.Role Modeling: An Existence Proof for Female StudentsThe low female faculty percentage in MIT’s engineering departments means that femaleengineering students may end up graduating with few, if any, female role models. Mentorshipand role models have proven to be important in people’s career development, but gender canplay a role as well.In his interview, former department head Rohan Abeyaratne gave an anecdote relating the firsttime the importance of having female faculty as role models truly sunk in.

This package will normally state the salary and contract, but might also include,depending on the future research activity expectations of the faculty, funds to allow the facultymember to buy needed equipment, conduct travel, hire graduate students, etc. It might alsopromise support of one or more graduate

a statistically significant positive long-term effect onparticipants’ perceptions of engineering. Overall, the study showed the benefits of usingnumerous role-models in the program (such as graduate students and faculty in STEM fields, andhigh school girls with STEM interests), reinforcing what many other programs have shown.Ivey and Palazolo12 conducted a study of an engineering outreach program that began in 2004,in Memphis. This program, a one-week session with an emphasis on girls from minority groupstraditionally underrepresented in STEM, was to increase the number of girls pursuing careers inSTEM fields. While only 10% of participants responded to the survey, results showed that 73%of the respondents changed their middle/high school
