They focused on evaluation planning efforts during the first year of the grant; findingsfrom a survey and interviews administered to college faculty and administrators; and institutionaldata related to the goals of the Program.

If students are thinking about becoming a lawyer, we inform themthat again engineering is an excellent undergraduate degree for law school. We also point outthat an engineering degree is required for patent law, which is a very good paying career. Wealso caution the students about doing any major that has a “pre” in front of it, such as pre-law,pre-medicine, or pre-business, since if they change their mind or are unable to get into medicalschool, a “pre” degree does not have a lot of value in the marketplace and emphasizes that thestudent was not able to carry through with their intent.

And he was really nice. He gave me, like, his study plan, and tell me like you know, what class I should take and stuff like that. So that was really nice to know that they did before I did.

There are four major sources of self-efficacy [21]: (1)mastery experiences, (2) vicarious experiences, (3) social persuasions, and (4) physical andemotional states. Mastery experiences are the interpreted result of an individual’s pastperformances, such as how a woman evaluates her self-efficacy in a course based upon the gradesreceived for that class.Vicarious experiences are where individuals observe others performingtasks, such as a woman undergraduate student observing a fellow woman undergraduate

As you can see, I am very skeptical.” “I'm not one for forcing under represented groups to do things strictly for the sake of some statistics. So I don't plan on trying to get more females to be engineers and things like that. I would much rather go somewhere and talk to the kids who want to be engineers whether they be male or female, black or white, whatever.

These multiplex ties between mentor and mentee can bebeneficial as multiple relationships strengthen the mentor-mentee bond and provide differentvenues for episodic mentoring to emerge naturally. For instance, faculty may engage in multiplementoring episodes through co-teaching courses, working on departmental policies, and sharingcourse plans and grant applications. Furthermore, encouragement of multiplex ties is beneficialfor faculty whose areas of expertise are not redundant with those of their other departmentalmembers. In this regard, our women engineering faculty participants discussed how theirmentoring

For instance, a research survey of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and tenuretrack/tenured faculty found that more graduate student women than men (28.5% of women vs.7.2% of men) are concerned that a career in science will be detrimental to their plans for a family(Ecklund and Lincoln 2011: 4).xxiv For many women – and some men – these concerns persistbeyond the graduate experience. For example, a 2009 National Research Council of the NationalAcademy of Sciences report found that women who receive a doctorate in science andengineering are less likely than men to seek academic research positions, and are more likely todrop out of the academy before tenure when they do pursue a faculty position.xxv1 A November2009
