success for women engineering students at Santa Clara University. We examinedpsychosocial factors, such as commitment to engineering and confidence in engineering abilities,as well as the effect of a specific intervention on the retention rate of young women engineeringstudents.Studies have shown that among students with adequate aptitude for STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), girls drop out more often than boys. Severalprograms have been developed to encourage girls to persevere in their interests in STEM fields.In the summer of 1999, SCU hosted a National Science Foundation workshop[1] gatheringdirectors of such programs to share their experience and insights. Forty-four people representingover 30 STEM programs for girls

However,few studies explore faculty mentoring processes in academic settings and none describe howfaculty mentoring networks are enacted in ways that advantage and disadvantage particulargroup members such as women in engineering.44 Our research expands the current literature by studying not only women faculty members’mentoring relationships but also women engineers’ developmental mentoring networkconfigurations. Furthermore, we explore an underresearched mentoring process known asepisodic or spontaneous mentoring and mentoring moments.1 As such, we contribute to much-needed empirical research on women in STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and

Once there, the study will continue to evaluatetheir performance in the oil company’s CAMS system. Only then will we be able todetermine whether the ‘hands on’ education that they have received at the PetroleumInstitute has made any difference to their intrinsic motivation. It appears that at this stage,motivation and ability compares very favourably with the men.

and belonging in engineering culture. The inequality of women in engineering has beenattributed to persistent male-dominated cultures and women’s difficulty establishing themselvesas legitimate engineers. In 1993, McIlwee [1] found that men’s identities in engineering centeredaround “tinkering” hobbies and passion for technology. Women’s interest in engineering, incontrast, was typically more academic and less “hands on”. In her ethnographic work withengineering students, Tonso [2] argued that despite a wide range of normative engineeringidentities, none of them were associated with women. Ten years later, McLoughlin [3] arguedthat while some women were drawn to engineering through the “traditional” pathway of passionfor technology, there is
