There is very little systemic empiricalresearch that focuses on students’ who are about to graduate from an engineering department. Itis important to study the experiences of students who have completed or are about to obtain anengineering degree because, since they have recently gone through situations that femalestudents experience by being a minority in engineering, they can

The confidentiality agreement was an integral aspect of the courseas it allowed for thorough discussion on a variety of sensitive subjects. The agreement allowedstudents to feel confident that as long as what they said was respectful, there would be norepercussions for voicing their opinions.Student’s Perspective: In addition to the class agreement regarding respectfulness, theconfidentiality agreement ensured open and honest conversation for the duration of the course.This agreement was easily the most crucial aspect of the course as it made open discussion workso well. Without this agreement, a large portion of the course conversations would

Since the dimension of organizational context can be integral to the learning, recruitment,and retention of female and underrepresented students and to the recruitment and retention offemale and underrepresented faculty members in engineering, it is the main focus of this researchpaper.

The focus grouppresents a more natural environment than that of an individual interview because participants areinfluencing and influenced by others, just as they are in real life (Krueger, 1994). Focus groupsenable the researchers to increase the sample size without dramatic increases in the time requiredof the interviewer. In addition, focus group techniques are both useful and valid for assessingstudent problems within an undergraduate curriculum (Diamond & Gagnon, 1985).

Forfaculty designing these programs it is important to understand how effective the programcomponents are in accomplishing these objectives and in particular how these barriers maymanifest differently for different students. To this end, we are studying solutions that canproactively engage and empower students in identifying and removing those roadblocks in theirdegree pathway. The integration of bi-weekly focus groups (FGs) for participatory actionresearch (PAR) in RAMP has been found effective in connecting and assessing multiple programelements from the students’ perspective. This has led to an improvement in program design overthe last four years and been successful in bringing together
