At the foundation of thistheoretical framework is the belief that a person is both an interpreter of contextually-boundexperiences and agent in changing those experiences. As such, one’s context or environmentplays a central role in moderating one’s career choices and goals, and ultimately, worksatisfaction. Bakken, et. al;14 proposed that research career development in the medical field bestudied from a social cognitive

Students’ Perspectives on Faculty AdvisingGiven the value of graduate education to the nation’s economy and global standing, it isimperative for institutions of higher education to examine ways to improve the retention andadvancement of doctoral students and to diversify the professoriate in science and engineering.A 2010 report by the Council of Graduate Schools and Educational Testing Services called uponuniversities to improve completion rates, clarify career pathways for doctoral students, andprepare future faculty and professionals1. Presently, the ten-year completion rate for engineeringdoctoral students is only 63%, with 65% of men and 56% of women graduating2. In addition tothe gender disparity in completion probabilities, women are

Page 25.1485.4The number of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields aretraditionally at a much lower percentage than the number of men. In higher levels of STEMeducation, the percentage of women continues to decline – called the “leaky pipeline”. Thenumber of women in STEM academic careers has improved consistently, but slowly, and thereare many discrepancies in the numbers across the various disciplines. At any academic careerstage, men in the STEM fields are still more likely to hold a higher rank than women. In othercountries the problem also exists. For instance, in the United Kingdom 50% of biologygraduates have been women for the past 30 years, but women only hold 9% of ranked fullprofessors.7 In the

called “On-Ramps into Academia.”(http://www.engr.washington.edu/onramp/)The goal of On-Ramps into Academia was to increase the pool of women faculty available to alluniversities by providing professional development to PhD-level women in industry or researchlaboratories who wished to transition into faculty positions. Unlike the more traditional strategyof institutions recruiting female faculty from other universities to increase the number of femalefaculty in science and engineering departments, this strategy increases the number of femalefaculty nationally. On-Ramps is a new approach to faculty recruitment. PhDs in science andengineering can leverage their nonacademic skills and experiences into successful careers asfaculty members.Interviews
