Earlyin my collegiate career, SWE was my main motivation for remaining in engineering. After myfirst quarter in college I questioned whether, I had made the right choice by choosing engineeringas a major. For me, SWE started out being my support group where I was able to meet otherfemale students facing the same challenges.”“As I grew, SWE's role in my career did as well. SWE encouraged me to get involved beyondmy course work, to take a leadership role in the society and to help others facing

Male faculty memberstended to attribute this to the fact that, by default, an advisor becomes a mentor due to the natureof the relationship, though the depth of this relationship is often dependent on the personality ofthe advisor. Female faculty members were more likely to point out the need for extraencouragement from advisors to consider and actually pursue faculty positions in engineering.One female faculty member recalled: I thought I was just going to get a masters degree, get a job, and be done with my graduate education…he [advisor] is the

Setting Goal Orientation: Goal orientation includes mastery goal orientation referring to concern with learning and mastering the task using self-set standards and self-improvement; extrinsic goal orientation focusing on getting good grades and pleasing others may be attained without much in-depth self-regulated learning; and relative ability orientation concern with comparing their performance with others. The instructors will instruct students to shift their focus from comparing their performance to peer to self-comparison toward mastery goal orientation. The mastery goal orientation can be reinforced by an expandable intelligence concept through linking their mastery of learning to
