For example only 20% of engineering baccalaureate degreesare awarded to women (NSF, 2004).2Interest in science and engineering majors by female freshmen has not changed

To recruit freshman and transferwomen to the program, a representative spoke in each of the “Introduction to Engineering”classes for each department in the College of Engineering to inform them about the program andits benefits. An e-mail was also distributed to the women enrolled in these classes where they toowere asked to fill out a questionnaire if they were interested in the program. We are planning tooffer two more mentoring events through fall semester with more events to follow in springsemester. For next year, our goals are to recruit mentors throughout summer, contact incomingwomen in engineering students early by mail and e-mail, pair up students before the school yearstarts and have the first

of our larger study.2. Prior Literature on Choosing Engineering in the Academy vs. IndustryFor nearly 60 years, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has tracked information about USAPhD recipients, their post-graduate plans, and their employment experiences well beyondgraduation. At least in the USA, most PhDs work in academia, but this number is on the decline[10]. The tracking of this information by the NSF has led some researchers to ask what makesscientists and engineers choose the kinds of jobs they do. Yet, the research on self-selection intoan academic versus industry career in engineering is limited. To begin, almost all of it isquantitative in nature, much of it focuses on STEM PhDs in general, and almost all of it isperformed on
