For the purpose ofthis paper, women in academia and in the industry will be the focus.I. IntroductionThe statistics of education show that women outnumber men in college enrollment. Womenrepresents sixty percent of the undergraduate population and in 2001-2002, women earned moredoctorates in the United States than men. However, women are underrepresented in science andengineering (S&E) fields. Science and engineering education in the United States has a genderedhistory. In a study for the National Science Foundation, Jon Miller1found that while 9 percent ofadult men are

During the 2005 SURE programthe SURE Program Coordinator was solely responsible for the pairing of studentparticipants with graduate student mentors. However, in the 2006 SURE program,graduate student mentors were given the opportunity to select student participants tomentor. Selection was based upon evaluation of a list that included the studentparticipant’s home school, hometown, research area, and faculty advisor. A maximum oftwo and a minimum of one SURE participant(s) were given to each graduate mentor.Graduate student mentor opinions were solicited in the 2006 SURE program.

The two-year freshman retention rate increase of 46% for engineering and 38% for computerscience is evidence that the School’s retention efforts have been particularly effective.Recently, two of the authors received a 5-year NSF S-STEM grant to fund scholarships andmentoring activities for transfer students. These funds will provide scholarships for up tofourteen transfer students per year and mentoring activities to increase the probability that theywill graduate with a degree in engineering or

-oriented methodology in constructing engineering and businessapplications has grown exponentially since the early 90’s. In the object-orientedmethodology, the software design focuses on objects instead of functions and functionaldecompositions. An object is introduced as a discrete entity, containing its data andfunctions. The main aspects of the object-oriented methodology includes encapsulation,inheritance and polymorphism [3]. Encapsulation refers to wrapping object attributes andbehaviors in an enclosed entity, inheritance deals with object reuse, and polymorphismconcerns with object having access to a behavior where the knowledge to the access isknown at runtime.Objects encapsulate the related attributes (data or member data) and behaviors

In addition to the scholarships, academic workshops help thestudents with time management, academics (how to learn), resources, and other challenges;especially those faced by lower division students and transfer students. The students in each ofthese programs meet at least six times per semester. The students are encouraged, beginning intheir freshman year, to go to career fairs, to consider internships, and to consider writing aproposal for a research award. For these activities, the students need a good resume.1, 2, 3 Theresume needed for an internship or research position is more demanding than the resume used inhigh school to
