The assessment has shown thatthe program improves participants’ understanding and appreciation of engineering problemsolving, increases the younger girls’ general understanding of engineering and the potential roleof women in engineering careers, provides leadership opportunities and opportunities forincreasing self confidence and self-efficacy, and provides positive role model and mentoringexperiences. Positive feedback from teachers and parents supports these findings. Commentsindicate that the 8th grade girls benefit from their

During the robot project Sherry received negative verbalpersuasion when her team members rejected her ideas without much discussion.“Before we started the construction of our robot, I suggested that we build a physical model.Mark (pseudonym) rejected this idea immediately saying that we had the CAD model and didnot need a second one. Ben (pseudonym) on the other hand was worried about time. Later onMark made a calculation error in his CAD design of the robot. When we put it together, it wasmuch bigger than planned. A physical model could have prevented this problem and saved ustime in the long run

One approach toaddressing these variables, and potentially closing the gender retention gap, was to create anetwork of mentors where each participant in the women’s mentorship network would receive anumber of mentors at various stages of their college experience including two structuredmentoring opportunities which occur in the freshman and sophomore years.

first-year projects courses were beneficial in helping students understand thepotential for engineering to positively impact people’s lives. Of the students who indicated thattheir primary reason for selecting an engineering major was to help people, 50% persisted in CE,AE, or EvE disciplines, 11% transferred to other engineering disciplines, and 39% transferred tonon-engineering disciplines. These students cited multiple reasons for plans to transfer out ofengineering. Most of the students motivated to a career where they could help people maintainedthis vision for non-engineering disciplines. The study results indicate that serving societythrough engineering is a significant motivation for many female students and that furtheremphasis on the

Of these 13respondents in the ATU group: five (35.7%) responded that they would seek another engineeringposition, three (21.4%) planned to leave the profession, and the remainder were undecided. Incontrast 58.2% of the CREW2 women contemplating leaving their current job planned to seekanother engineering position, 7.6% would leave the profession and 34.2% were not sure.Although this appears to indicate that more of the ATU women are planning to leave theprofession in the future than the CREW2 women, any analysis of these data

With the growth of the series, the number of people involved and impacted grew too. One of the unique features of this series is that it involves four of the five colleges at Louisiana Tech with at least 10 individual programs participating, creating a truly interdisciplinary seminar series. Over the last three years, faculty and students from biomedical engineering, biology, kinesiology, and chemistry have been polled for seminar speaker recommendations.

-traditional views about their careers vis-a-vis men. For example, women, more likely thanmen, agree that a wife should make long-range career plans just as her husband does, disagreethat a wife should leave her job to follow a husband’s career, and also disagree that men arefinancially responsible for supporting the family. At the same time, they hold traditional viewsabout their roles in family responsibility, especially child-rearing. Such a mix of traditional andnon-traditional views, may result in role-conflicts, and perhaps in the subdued career aspirations.Essentially, there is a huge difference in the way women and men think about their careers andfamily responsibilies. It seems that men are blissfully ignorant of women’s career aspirations
