TransitionAbstractPeer mentoring has been shown to be an effective means of improving the retention of women inengineering, but few studies have explored the impact of participation on the development of theleadership abilities of undergraduate women. Transitioning to a leadership mentality as a peermentor has the potential to foster self-efficacy in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) and socially stable academic relationships that may be replicated in post-graduate study and/or the workplace. This one-year study explored the experiences of junior andsenior female students in STEM majors (N=11) serving as mentors to first-year students in theWomen in Science and Engineering Honors Program (WISE) at Stony Brook University, a largeresearch

Through a LLC community, students are able to encourage one anotherduring difficult classes and help each other gain a deeper understanding of classroom concepts.20This type of peer-to-peer interaction provides assistance with students’ academic and socialintegration. Unfortunately, an unintended consequence can be the formation of cliques, orsmaller communities within the already small community.The environment of certain LLCs also encourages other types of non-peer interaction. Facultyand staff members can be involved in activities for a LLC, thereby increasing students’ comfortlevel interacting with them. Research has shown that interactions between students and faculty

Her dissertation investigates the self-expressive edge of inequality, analyzing how gender schemas and self-conceptions influence career decisions of college students over time. She also studies the role of professional culture in wage inequality, cross-national beliefs about work time for mothers (with Maria Charles), and, in a Social Problems article, perceptions of inequality among high-level professional women (with Mary Blair-Loy).

. “Among college experiences, three experiences are significantly related tochange in engineering identity. Students with greater concern for a career where they can workfor social change, students who receive more mentoring and support from faculty, and studentswho experience more negative cross-racial interactions also indicate developing a stronger senseof engineering identity” [19, p. 22]. The notion that a stronger identity as an engineer is formed ifa woman is singled out in class or clubs repeatedly seems counterintuitive. However the studypoints to the fact that as a woman or URM students are singled out the uniqueness of theiridentity is reaffirmed, among those students who persisted.

Engineering students at U of Amade their choice of discipline after a common first year with exposure to each of thepotential choices via first year lecturers and courses, explicit career-related seminars anddisplays. Interviewed students were questioned on their reasons for their disciplinary choicebut it would be difficult to find evidence that students had a conscious awareness at that timeof cultural differences. There was evidence to suggest that all female students who wereattracted to engineering had above average confidence and ability in mathematics andscience, but having made the decision to study engineering, their choice of disciplinesometimes appeared to have been fairly

A majority of survey participants chose engineering becausethey were interested in it or because they thought it would lead to a successful career. About halfof the students had at least one family member working as an engineer. In a study by Mativo andGeorge [47], it was found that engineering women have a great influence on the career choice oftheir daughters.

Both concepts havebeen determined to be important for persistence among engineering student populations. Ahandful of qualitative studies have indicated that both engineering self-efficacy and identity areassociated with greater engineering workforce persistence [61], [64].Interest in engineering is a personal factor that can be more complicated than it might seem. Itseems quite expected that some people’s interests change over time and this might lead, quiterightly, to a career change, whether early or later in the career pathway.
