inengineering specifically [12-15, 28-29, 31-33, 38]. There were cross-cultural differences in the studies’ findings. In the study from UAE[26], women with higher SES were less likely to choose STEM majors and careers (Fig. 1),unlike in the US and UK where studies found higher SES to significantly impact the likelihoodof persisting in and choosing a STEM major, respectively [22, 24]. In Caspi et. al.’s study [16] inIsrael, they found no gender difference in ninth grade students’ choice of a STEM major whereasgender differences were found early on (i.e., prior to intervention) in STEM attitudes in USstudents [13].

A body of intersectional literature has been built upon this foundation [12]–[17].However, these intersectional studies struggle to gain traction, and most studies of women inengineering presume white women as the default position. In a 2011 follow-up study, Malcomand her daughter [18] emphasize the importance of recognizing the multiple pathways intoscientific professions in order to be more inclusive of minority scientists. They also call forgreater attention to Asian minorities, since these groups are currently understudied, even as theymake up a growing proportion of the scientific workforce.Accordingly, in this study, I join a

The reasons for choosing aspecific project were varied, showing every survey participant had their own reason for choosingtheir specific project. Most students choose their specific projects because they were interested inthe topic. Other responses included friends, time, complexity, the advisor(s), and potentialbenefits. Questions in this set also targeted what skills these clinics have improved. The mostpopular responses were technical competence, teamwork with 22.10% each, then communicationat 21.55%, professional skills at 18.78%, and leadership at 14.36%.

How should one entice, encourage, or even “train” a partner to become an equal partner at home? From your personal experience, can you offer any tips on starting/expanding a family in regard to the tenure clock? 5 In general, what is the climate that one may expect to experience from colleagues when in a dual-career relationship?

There are also industry advisor(s) and/or a project sponsor. Students oftenfind their projects and industry advisors while they are completing the co-op experience.Sometimes engineers within the community volunteer their time as advisors and bring their ownprojects. Other typical projects involve design of a new campus building or development of anempty property lot within the city. Similar to what is done at other institutions, students interactwith local engineers, stakeholders, and city officials during their projects [13, 16].

not easily altered without someimpetus to make the change. The introduction of individuals into the industry that are moreinclined to act collaboratively could act as a catalyst for change.Purpose of the StudyGender diversity has been connected to increased profits across multiple industries.8 Thesefindings have led to the creation of the value-in-diversity perspective, which contends that adiverse workforce has a distinct benefit to business.8 However, these benefits are not limited toincreased earnings.8 For example, there is evidence that the inclusion of women in CM maydecrease conflict and increase collaboration. Brahnam, et al.’s study suggests that women maypossess more effective conflict resolution attributes than their male
