both subtle and overt discrimination[6] - [10]. Several strategies have been implemented to improve this culture, for example byestablishing peer mentoring programs [11] - [15] or creating more inclusive classroomenvironments [16] - [20]. In contrast to undergraduate engineering students who predominantlytake classes, however, senior doctoral and post-doctoral engineering students spend the majorityof their time in a “lab” environment—i.e., the environment of the research group, whethercomputational or experimental. Therefore, to create a warmer climate for these students andmitigate the drastic drop-off of women from doctoral programs to faculty positions, here wefocus on promoting a more inclusive lab culture.The pervasiveness of sexual

career aspirations are great.Thus, young women – particularly non-minority women – are qualified to pursue SET studies,but are choosing not to. The reasons for this are varied and complex, and likely stem from anumber of complex issues that permeate throughout family, school, and society, including forexample the lack of exposure to technology-based toys and experiences as children, teacherexpectations and classroom climate, lack of encouragement, gender-biased literature, subtleparental and societal influences, lack of female professional role models, peer pressure to avoidacademic subjects deemed decidedly “unfeminine,” feelings of isolation, lack of confidence inmath and science, and a perception that SET subjects are the domain of “white

In total, the annual budgetis approximately $6,500, for a program that affects upward of 20 faculty and academic staff annually. 3Faculty participants see more benefits; for example, there are (independent of the NFLC) modest start-up packages that new faculty access through an internal grant process. The start-up packages are opento all new faculty, but those who attend the NFLC programming are able to share and refine their ideasin the space afforded by the community. In short, it behooves a new faculty member to attend thesemeetings so they can write a stronger proposal.Faculty are also introduced to best practices for retaining URMs and scholarship in that area throughcollaboration

Infact, she also enjoyed writing – so much so that she actually dual majored in Technical Writing.She tells me that the reason she didn’t pursue writing as a career is because she couldn’t see anyviable career options, whereas in engineering, there were plenty of job opportunities. WhereasTeresa felt the need to resolve her competing interests in the elevator pitch itself, Christine omitsthem entirely, perhaps feeling that her writing interests confuse the narrative too much or areirrelevant because they are not practical.One factor Teresa omitted was an admission later

. Additionally, there is evidence of bias in peer reviews, showing that a female postdoctoral applicant had to be significantly more productive than a male applicant, helping to explain the lower success rate of female scientists in achieving high academic rank. While biases do change, the recent research studies show that gender stereotypes are clearly still at play.  Recent research on marriage and family responsibilities, show that women are at a disadvantage if they have children17,18. In business and industry both women and men identify family responsibilities as a possible barrier to advancement, but women are affected differently than men by this “family penalty.”19,20 Among women and men with

They allow others to define who they are, including parents, teachers, socialnorms and expectations, peers, etc. The second phase is Crossroads. This is when studentsrealize that following the plans others have set before them may not necessarily match their owninterests and desires and they become discontented with allowing others to define who they are,and they begin to create their own sense of self that is preferably more authentic.

Related to the above theme is what some participantsregard as an assumption that male faculty are good enough, as juxtaposed by an absence of suchan assumption for female faculty. Rather, some female STEM faculty feel as though they need toeither prove to colleagues that they’re good enough (i.e., that they are well within the regime ofcompetence within their respective communities of practice), or demonstrate achievement wellbeyond their male peers to be considered equally competent.
