This same conclusion is supported by other sources, including Lichtenstein et alusing National Science Foundation data [2]. Compared to the overall US population of 50.8%women [3], there is significant room for improvement, with improvement defined as an increasein this percentage. Those in the engineering professions know, and have known for decades, thatthis percentage needs to increase, yet society struggles to make any noticeable improvement.While “engineering” as a discipline is commonly discussed in literature, almost no researchspecific to industrial engineering retention and graduate school was identified.

stubborn trend is not changing much [1, 2]. Theoutcome is worse for black and Hispanic students, who usually comprise less than 10% ofengineering graduates [3, 4]. The lack of enrollment and graduation of female and minoritystudents in STEM programs has traditionally led to a STEM workforce that lacks diversity [5–9].To address this lack of diversity, the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) has instituted the Girls’Engineering Exploration (GEE) day. GEE is an annual STEM outreach event for elementaryschool girls, especially minority students. The objective of GEE is to increase interest in STEMfields among the girls who participate in the event, along with increasing their self-confidence insuccessfully performing STEM activities.

The study sought to find how women in the engineering profession perceived theirinfluence at the workplace, home, and community. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, femalescomprise of 50.8% of the total population [4].

Given the nature of senior designcourses, they offer an opportunity for engineering programs to integrate the outcomes of ABETcriteria [1]. In contrast to much of the undergraduate curriculum, the problems that students workon in senior design tend to be more ambiguous, require the consideration of multiple tradeoffs,and have no ‘right’ answer. As such, engineering design problems require individuals to makedecisions about what counts as knowledge by assessing various sources of information,balancing constraints, and evaluating alternative solutions. These acts can be grouped together asepistemic cognitive processes and require individuals to reason “about specific
