However, when SET results were grouped by perceived instructor gender(i.e. both the female and male instructors, when the students believed each was female), studentsrated the perceived male instructor as significantly better than the perceived female instructor.These findings support the idea that there is a real bias that exists among students in evaluatinginstructors, not simply a difference in the teaching styles or teaching effectiveness betweenfemale and male instructors.Another study performed a laboratory experiment where students were shown an identicallecture delivered by a stick figure with a gender-neutral

Dr. Dresselhaus’ public advocacy for women in engineering and science began in the mid-1970s, when the number of American women seeking undergraduate degrees in engineering began to rise. Recognizing this as an issue of great importance for the profession, Dr. Dresselhaus began actively speaking out in favor of women's access to careers in technology and science. Her unquestioned accomplishments in the laboratory and classroom gave her an unparalleled credibility in this national dialogue.
