In the​ ​Spring2017 Term at the Georgia Institute of Technology, women compose only 27.4% of the totalundergraduate mechanical engineering majors (“Enrollment by Major”), while women composed35.4% of undergraduates in the fall term of 2015 (Georgia Institute of Technology).

of belonging and engineering identity sometimes overlapsbecause they have some similarities but there are also some distinctions between the twoconstructs. Students sense of belonging relates to their reflection on current experiences andgreater affective components in their majors, like- how comfortable they feel in engineeringclassroom or college. It emerges from the self-reflection of the students’ feelings when theycompare themselves with their peers [10]. On the other hand, engineering identity is theirbroader sense of fit in the engineering discipline, like- the extent student sees themselves as aprospective engineer [14], [15].In an engineering context, learning engineering content also requires becoming a member ofthe engineering

I worked in the industry another four years prior to working as an engineer. My coworkers were willing to help me with homework. My employer was very acceptable and very supportive of me going to school, so they allowed me to work out hours to make up those hours.” – Asian American Engineer “I started off

Theworkshops are less technical than those offered at the high school level, but reflect the broadintroduction to multiple engineering disciplines and computer science. The program also advisesparticipants how to prepare for future studies in STEM. Middle school is a critical age for youngwomen where self-confidence and perceptions of others have a big impact on actions anddecisions. A well-known study has shown that young girls have gendered perceptions of STEMeven as middle school students [8]. By reaching the girls at a younger age, the program aims toincrease the STEM pipeline and encourage more young women to explore and

Such early career studies require looking at motivation,because motivation is a critical determinant of future behavior.Although all motivation theories share the common goal of connecting people’s behaviors tospecific motivations, self-determination theory (SDT) is particularly useful because it drawsimportant distinctions among the types of motivations that people experience.15,16 SDT identifiesa continuum of motivation types, ranging from controlled to autonomous. Autonomousmotivations are distinguished from more controlled motivations in that they are driven byinternal rewards rather than external and reflect that an individual is self-directing his or herbehaviors, resulting in greater

If it is not for the right reasons (such as public relations), then thoseindividuals within the institution will see through it and potentially lose confidence and morale.It cannot simply be words or data; there has to be action, and institutions cannot fake this. I alsobelieve that it is a barrier if the leaders of the institution do not speak and act consistentlybetween their public and internal personas.

The comments included further detail explaining whythe codes were used, the feelings of the coder at the time of coding, or possible links to previousliterature or concepts. This thematic analysis led to the four emergent themes based on the datafrom the six interviews. These four themes reflected trends in the experiences of these women.The codes “Confidence/Pride and Empowerment” and “Moment of Pride” were present in theoriginal codebook, but their definitions leaned toward circumstances that did not match thesenew code definitions.

autoethnography.MethodsAutoethnography is a qualitative research method that aims to improve sociological understandingthrough drawing on personal experiences with social phenomena [7, 8, 9]. It looks at whatexisting literature says about these topics and relates it to one’s personal experiences throughrigorous self-reflection [10]. The researcher becomes the research subject. The process can besubjective and, as such, can only be properly experienced and understood by the self [7].This study originated when an informal discussion between two of the co-authors occurred aboutthe struggles female faculty face when teaching a predominantly male student population. Manyof the experiences articulated were found to be similar to those of individuals facing gender bias.Published

They continue “feminist post-structuralism troubles the binarycategories male and female, making visible the constitutive force of linguistic practices, anddismantling their apparent inevitability” [34 p. 321]. Without a frame that looks to gender toinform practice and reality, there is no way to uncover the dichotomy that exists within the fieldof engineering.Dual IdentityThe subjectivity espoused by Feminist Poststructuralism is reflected in the ideas of a dualidentity. People, in particular women in STEM, are subjected to factors outside of the “norm.”The notion of double consciousness is applied to women in

faculty. In 2017, ASEE surveyed 338 universities nationwide that have four-year degreegranting engineering programs and found that of the 27,412 tenured/tenure-track engineering facultymembers, only .52% were African American women [1]. Although this number depicts a dismalrepresentation, this number actually reflects an increase in the number of African American womenfaculty members in engineering over time [1].There are a variety of reasons why diversifying the engineering ranks adds value. Diversity has the abilityto either hinder or drive innovation [5,11]. Additionally, given the importance of role models inrecruiting and retaining underrepresented minorities, the lack of diversity in the academy influences therepresentation of
