campus, were important in the major selection process.To focus exclusively on which factors affect students’ aspirations to study chemical engineeringneglects the bulk of the process that produces chemical engineering graduates. For example, thereare many points in their academic careers that women may choose to enter or exit a chemicalengineering program. The problem of attrition in science, technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM) more broadly has been widely studied. The most famous study is theethnographic study conducted by Seymour and colleagues that investigated reasons why studentschoose to leave STEM. One of the most cited reasons for leaving STEM in the original study waspoor teaching in STEM courses; this remained true in the
