Those manuscripts not rejectedenter the review process, and are distributed to an associate editor (AE) on the basis of thetechnical area of the manuscript. Each manuscript is assigned at least three (3) reviewers. Aminimum of two (2) reviews must be performed before a decision can be taken. Once thesereviews are in hand, the AE prepares a preliminary decision, if necessary giving requirementsand recommendations to be met by the author(s). The EIC reviews the preliminary decision, editsit as necessary, and communicates the decision to the author(s). This process continues withrevisions that are submitted until a satisfactory manuscript

Alumni whoidentify as women were recruited as volunteers to form and direct the advisory committee.Members include representation from each decade including alumnae from the 1970’s to the2010’s.This paper begins by explaining the origins of the committee and the evolution of thecommittee’s mission. Next the efforts to develop a strategic plan are discussed. Included is adiscussion of the methodology used to create the strategic plan, along with details regarding howthe process evolved as it included committee members from across the United States.

future studies can explorehow a more complex learning environment will lead to a less gendered environment thatempowers underrepresented minorities to pursue degrees in engineering.Theoretical BackgroundThe environment’s influence on a person’s behavior has been recognized since the 1930’s whenLewin developed field theory (see Table 1).12 Field theory postulates that behavior is not only afunction of the individual person, but is also a function of their environment. Years later,Murray developed the needs-press theory, which extended field theory by discussing theindividual’s needs and the environment’s press.13 The environment’s press is the pressure thatthe environment exerts on the individual. These theories provide a useful framework to

There isalso an expectation that it encourages more female students to enroll in graduate school. Theauthors’ specific findings indicate a positive impact of research experiences on graduateenrollment. Given these findings, the following research questions were formed with respect tothe industrial engineering major: 1. Does having a CURE experience inspire more female industrial engineering students to stay in the major? 2. Does having a CURE experience inspire more female industrial engineer

mentoring is becoming more widely known throughout business and academic fields,women still feel at a disadvantage in terms of finding a mentor or a group of mentors to assistthem during their careers. Because STEM fields, such as engineering, are traditionally maledominated fields, women may find it difficult to find a proper mentor(s) to suit their needs. Fewwomen occupy high organizational ranks, which in turn may create difficulty when femaleprotégés are trying to initiate a mentoring relationship with potential female mentors20. Studies have also shown that the gender of the mentor and protégé may affect the overallmentoring experience20,21. Mentoring relationships that contain participants with the same genderare often more successful and

We are thrilled to have been one ofthe catalysts of this effort.” It is the hope that the events that have been created will serve asa model for students, new faculty, and other universities to pursue their passion, collaboratewith colleagues across departments, and engage with the community to create a rich,dynamic, and energizing academic culture.References:1.
