The sections belowdescribe demographic questions that we developed and asked in the data collection process.

Women’s experiences in engineering design teams has been the subject of a number ofstudies, with several studies noting that women’s experiences in teams could potentially“recreate sexist environments already found in the university environment for undergraduatewomen if they are not properly managed” [28, pp. 82]. Negative experiences in teams (not beingaccepted, heard, or respected by her peers) could have significant long-term impacts, i.e., it couldbe the difference between staying or abandoning engineering after graduation. During teamwork activities, students negotiate their identities, status, and authenticity.[29] showed that gender is a

The structureof the system is in three tiers- the state-wide University of California (UC), the regionallyorientated California State University (CSU), and the locally focused Community Colleges (CC)[7]. Each of these systems has a different enrollment criterion: the UC system being the mostselective and the CC system open to all students who are at least 18 years old or a high schoolgraduate. As established in the Master Plan, the goal of the UC system is to award bachelor’sdegrees to the top 12.5% of high school graduates and the CSU has a target of 33.3% of thepopulation [7].As largest university

Today, only a very smallpercentage of engineers and scientists who are involved in research are exposed to technologycommercialization training or activity. At many research universities, the primary role for facultyis very oriented towards scientific production, more than either teaching or entrepreneurialengagement. Many individual and institutional factors are believed to influence academicresearchers’ decisions regarding whether to engage in academic entrepreneurship, and whether tocontinue to stay involved. Therefore, increasing participation requires a comprehensiveunderstanding of academic researcher motivations.Motivation for EntrepreneurshipMotivation is defined as “a set of

In academic settings, mentoring is a collaborativeprocess of academically challenging, encouraging, and guiding a mentee (a student or juniorfaculty member) to excel in the desired goal through a relationship with a mentor or moreexperienced colleague. The mentorship model stems from the belief that a successful mentoringpartnership is a voluntary, developmental, sharing, empowering, and encouraging relationship.Effective academic mentoring is an aspiration model that focuses on inspiring students to besuccessful in a competitive culture of high expectations, such as
