It was not only that the male students were curious about the visitors and the project; it was like they were trying to protect their female peers. In addition, male students showed their pride in their female classmates, they told us that female students were better than them, ‘they [female students] are the best students [academically] [ellas son las más aplicadas].Literature on women’s learning33 suggests that women’s preferences are for learning that iscooperative, and studies on women in engineering22,23 indicate that a competitive climate hascontributed

For example, in the long term, we expect tosee significant increases in the representation, retention, and advancement of women faculty,especially women STEM faculty and women faculty of color. We also expect to observeimproved departmental climates and work environments for all faculty. However, neither theNSF nor the UD ADVANCE project leadership expects that the long-term outcomes will beachieved during the lifetime of the grant. In this context, long-term outcomes are those that cantake up to 10 years to achieve and the grant funding is only for 5 years (six, if one adds a oneyear no cost

Nevertheless, literaturenot only shows that Saudi women are interested in engineering, but the fact that segregation isenforced in schools can be a reason why women may succeed more in engineering than in theUS or the UK [4], [36]. Some women who have recently earned engineering degrees fromoutside the country via the “Program of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques” for foreignscholarships represent the first generation of women engineers to get hired in different privatesector engineering jobs and projects.

A brief presentation about what to include in a research statementinformed the audience and sparked questions for the open discussion that followed. The facultymembers also discussed the challenges of writing research statements and proposals. A seminar on grant proposals provided basic information on how to develop a grantproposal. This topic was selected because successful grants are often needed to support aresearch group and secure funding for research.

With a 19% projected job growth in computing between 2016 and2026, employment prospects and compensation levels in computing are both excellent; the paygap between men and women is also low compared to other engineering disciplines.2 Yet overthe past decade, women have held only 25% of computer and mathematical (C&M) jobs whilecomprising 56%-58% of the total workforce [11]; in 2016, Blacks made up only 7.9% percent ofC&M workers while comprising 11.9% of all workers
