developing their strongest ties, such as graduatementor, department head, or co-workers.Information on navigating reward structures in a technical field while doing education researchwas a common but integral finding that repeatedly came up. The need to understand how toproperly negotiate tenure and promotion given the interdisciplinarity of engineering education andthe culture and expectations of one’s broader institutional environment is a task that is made easierwhen connected to successes that have experience. Additionally, many researchers in the samplereported utilizing conferences as meeting grounds for ongoing projects or launchpads for newprojects.Although large conferences and workshops are an important asset of resource sharing

caring describes empathy in terms of actions carried out byindividuals or groups. Empathy as a special relationship defines it as a reciprocal relationshipdeveloped over time between two individuals when empathy is present, cultivated, and visible.Based on a thematic analysis of the results, empathy as a human trait was seen by facultymembers to be inherent in certain acts such as participating in team projects. It’s value as a stateof being was that it provided greater opportunities for academic or professional success. It wasvalued as a communication process in that it enhances the ability to communicate, which isimportant in team activities and responding to clients.

In reference to thegirls in their class, they callously used names such as “annoying girl”, “space cadet” and “coffeebitch”.

The data shown in this paper demonstrate that computingand engineering have made considerable progress in becoming more gender diverse, even if theprogress has not always been on a consistent trend for computing. In contrast, several importantand large disciplinary areas are on course to continue becoming less gender diverse, as theybecome increasingly tilted towards more women receiving degrees. Ready arguments to expressstrong concern for reducing male dominance of computing and engineering can be made alignedwith the high demand and projected continued high demand for STEM degrees and competitivelevels of compensation.
