total numbers given the fact that bothwomen and members of other under-represented groups are often visible minorities in science,technology, engineering, and mathematic (STEM) fields. Social dynamics are shaped byproportional representation and when that proportion is highly skewed it can produce thephenomenon referred to as tokenism1. According to Kanter’s classic study, small relativenumbers heighten visibility and bring attention to discrepant characteristics or ways thatmembers of a population deviate from the norm. The effects of tokenism are most pronouncedwhen the proportion and number of women is so small that the opportunities to participate in acommunity of like-minded individuals are limited. Attention to secondary characteristics

By social context, wemean, for this study, the gendered and racialized contexts in environmental work. In fact, wewould expect these contexts to come into play even in the selection of their major—climateeffects, public environmental discourse, and environmental policy all have gendered and racialsocial components that frame students’ matriculation into the major as much as their journeysthrough and beyond it. Keeping in mind the gender, race, and ethnic characteristics ofenvironmental engineering degree-earners in Section 2.1.1, we will return to this

Examples are provided below. words for engineers: “Your work is more than plans and specifications. Your work is more than creating a design for a client. Your work impacts people, communities, and the landscape. You have a responsibility to be aware of the negative impacts of the work you engage in.” A reminder to keep community in mind in every step of the process…. One element from Chief Albert’s presentation that I personally found most impactful was the list of his Tribe’s values.

The program reaches on average over 100 middle-school-aged girlsannually, bringing them to Rowan’s campus to explore engineering through hands-on projectsand demonstrations. This applied approach to learning, a hallmark of Rowan Engineering,introduces AWE participants to various engineering disciplines and careers and provides anopportunity to connect with like-minded peers and current engineering undergraduates asmentors and advisors.

one-sided, old-fashioned,technology-centered way engineering is often taught. A change of curricula supporting non-technological substructures such as methods and system expertise or also social skills would notonly address the interests of modern women and men but also the demands of the economy ofthe 21st century.Generally universities have to keep in mind the requirements of companies who constantly needwell-educated employees. In order to meet these demands today, universities have to redefine themeaning of “good education”. For a modern engineer a sound technical education forms only thebasis for a career. Companies increasingly require engineers who acquired profound analyticalcompetencies and problem solving strategies, structural

After receiving tenure, I directed two different professionalmasters programs in engineering, one of which had a substantial distance-learning component.And, in my mind, I had achieved a satisfactory balance between my work life and my family life.My husband and I shared child rearing and home duties.

with a generalrelaxation in traditional gender-role attitudes as well as changes in public perceptions of whatleadership entails. Yet in contexts still defined in the public mind as requiring masculinequalities, women face tough barriers that stem from the difficulty of simultaneously transcendingand accommodating to gender stereotypes. It is critical to understand some of these barriers inorder to help women break them down and be determined enough to work their way throughthem. This paper shares some the stories of some brave young engineering women who aredoing just that.Catalyst Research1 reports that there are 51.4% of U.S. women in management, professional andrelated occupations today in Fortune 500 businesses.

issues females face is fear andlack of self-confidence in their skills to prepare teaching and research statements and negotiatesalaries and start-up packages [6].B. Females in EngineeringA question that may come to mind is: Why among all STEM fields highlight engineering? Theanswer is simple. ASEE’s report Engineering by the Numbers [24] depicts an alarming lowrepresentation of females across all levels−bachelor’s level all the way to tenure-track positionsin academia. Between 2008 and 2017, females earned 20.93%, on average, of all engineeringdegrees (BS, MS, and PhD) in the US (Puerto Rico included) [24]. In 2017 alone, femalesrepresented 26,514 out of the 124,477 (21.3%) undergraduate engineering degrees conferred.Environmental and

Such values mightbe self-realization, creativity and innovation, working with people and helping others.”14 For theengineering identity to resonate with civic-minded Millennial females, it must convey the roleengineers play in fostering a strong sense of community, both local and global.3.

As argued by Turner [28], marginalized faculty ‘socialized for success,’ may reproducepatterns of inequity.We believe that engineers are fair minded and rational and do believe that, when researchdemonstrates a clear connection between gendered teaching practices and a consequential exodusfrom the field, engineers will take heed. We therefore call upon researchers to explore morecritically learning contexts with an eye toward exposing the implicit White, male dominant normsand their effects on the discipline. As many have shown [12], [41] engineers have been ratheruncritical of their working contexts—looking for alternate explanations and anemic solutions likerecruitment to resolve inequity.

The findings from this research are consistent with thelarge body of literature on gender bias in academia.
