It has been suggested that the “chilly climate” -feeling unwelcomed or discriminated- pushes women away from STEM fields. This leads tomany women leave STEM fields at multiple stages, thus creating the “leaking pipeline”phenomenon. The experiences of

Due to low representation at thesenior rungs of the academic hierarchy, women have limited access to senior-level administrativepositions (i.e. department chair, vice dean, and dean positions) and have fewer opportunities toguide policy and future planning activities (Brockopp, Isaacs, Bischoff, & Millerd, 2006).The Problem Statement and Research Questions Despite numerous barriers, some women have been successful in academic engineeringprograms, gaining tenure, and often progressing to leadership positions such as department chair,vice dean and dean positions. How did these women navigate their career amid numerouschallenges, ranging from
