Using a Social Networks Perspective to analyze data from student and advisorinterviews, researchers observed strong homophily and transitivity effects which create aculturally and demographically homogeneous environment and are directly linked to the missedlearning opportunities. The authors present recommendations for mediating or preventing theseeffects through formalized education and mentoring.In their study on pathways to entrepreneurial education, Celis and Huang-Saad [7] explored therelationships between student characteristics and entrepreneurship education programmaticchoices in a Midwest research institution. The entrepreneurial activities included both co-curricular (start-up treks and a

The findingsreported here draw from women‟s diary submissions over the course of data collection. Wedescribe the methodology employed in this phase of data collection and analysis in greater detailin the methods section.Our close reading of women‟s diaries shows that they hold contradictory conceptions of theiridentity as engineering students, on the one hand, and as young women, on the other. In reactionto experiences in the classroom, worksites, and informal encounters with peers, these youngwomen point out the limitations of an engineer‟s mindset
