During that time the percentage of womenreceiving bachelor’s degrees in science and engineering (S & E) fields increased from 24.8% to50.5%, and the number of women earning S & E degrees increased from 45,634 to 239,273 inthat time. However, the percentage of women with bachelor’s degrees in engineering was 19.5%in 2006, although that is an increase from 0.4% in 1966 and represents an increase in totalnumber of women’s degrees from 146 in 1966 to 13,300 in 2006.

In addition, to thescientific goal of understanding social reality, with the sole intent to point out that humancharacteristics considered “feminine” were acquired by women through a complex individualand social process, rather than derived “naturally” from

study taking place in 5 schools in a large urbandistrict in the Northeast. For this investigation, we limited our analytic sample to the 549 femaleparticipants from whom we collected survey data in order to examine correlates of girls’ interestin pursuing college coursework in engineering, science, and mathematics. Using a social-ecological framework, we found differing patterns of associations using engagement, capacity,and continuity variables (as suggested by Jolly et al.’s trilogy model) for the three domains.Engineering interests and aspirations were related to school characteristics, science and mathself-efficacy, and experience with extracurricular activities. Interest and aspirations for sciencewere correlated with science salience and
field, but never gave me the impression when I was younger that it was difficult or that she should have made another choice. Secondly, since I grew up in the 80's, women like Margaret Thatcher contributed to my general impression that a woman could legitimately pursue whatever sort of career she wanted. These influences, and probably a healthy dose of ignorance on my part, combined in such a way that it never occurred to me that gender might ever be an issue in my chosen profession, no matter how traditionally "male" that profession was.In terms of why respondents chose to pursue a Ph.D., 58% reported that they were interested inthe jobs one could get with a Ph.D., especially in teaching and research.

They can either get aBachelor of Arts (B.A.) through the College of Letters and Sciences (L&S), or get a Bachelor ofScience (B.Sc.) through the College of Engineering. The major difference between the two tracksis that students who get the B.A. get to take breadth requirements that gives them exposure tomore
-persisters. The gender-based analysis showed that non-persisting femalestudents have higher mathematics scores compared to persisters. Moreover, female leavers didnot have the same low grades as male leavers. These results suggest that female students havethe academic ability to complete an engineering degree, but not the interest7.Mendez et al.'s research showed that gender is not an important factor in persistence. Theiranalysis showed that rates of persistence are similar within subgroups of the data defined bycumulative GPA and number of STEM courses taken. In other words, once women decide tomajor in a STEM field, they persist at the same rate as men14.II.b. Internalization and Perceptions of Major and CareerStudents are affected in varying

Considering this to be thecase, perhaps this course and other similar freshmen-level experiences should be designed toprimarily prepare the student for the rigor of university-level work rather than be an indepthanalysis of a specific topic. For the next offering of this class, I plan on reevaluating its contentto make sure that the content appeals to more students.Bibliography1 Lau, A. S., Pangborn, R. N., Wise, J.

Gender identity is something everyone has and it is a dynamicvariable which shifts and changes depending upon the different contexts and environments.Gender is not essential or natural; it is the various acts of gender that create gender. Gender is aperformance; it is what someone does, not who s/he is.12There is a societal position that supposes several irrefutable concepts regarding gender, includingthe beliefs that there are two genders (masculine and feminine) and biological sex organsdetermine gender.13 Dividing society into the binary

Inher review of the literature, Jacobi defined mentoring as a personal, reciprocal relationshipbetween a protégé and someone of greater experience or accomplishment who helps the protégétoward some achievement(s) by providing psychological/emotional support
