The AWE Workshop is impactful in young girls’ exploration ofnot only engineering but also other STEM fields.1.0 Introduction1.1 Attracting Women into Engineering (AWE)Summer camps or programs strive to provide an outlet for children to interact with each other.Traditional goals include teaching participants certain skills but these camps aim to do so in fun,engaging ways [1].

The research presents a review of the literature including the (1) study context,(2) study methods, (3) study objectives, (4) microaggressions outcomes and (5) microaggressionstypes using data from 45 journal articles. Data analysis included coding of the journal articles toidentify major themes representing different forms of microaggressions. The current results showthat the research studying microaggressions using an intersectional lens is limited. This researchcontributes to improved understanding regarding microaggressions by identifying the gaps withinexisting literature on microaggressions. Practically, this research increases the visibility of subtlenegative behaviors that engineering

A critique of conversations from a participatory research approachAbstractWhilst statistics vary, putting the percentage of women engineers at between 6%[1] and 9% [2]of the UK Engineering workforce, what cannot be disputed is that there is a need to attractmore young women into the profession. Building on previous work which examined whyengineering continues to fail to attract high numbers of young women[3,4] and starting withthe research question “What do High School girls think of engineering as a future career andstudy choice?”, this paper critiques research conducted utilising a

SWE is an organization that is deeplyrooted in industry. The founding members were employed by firms that are a result of theindustrial revolution, and thus the focus of its membership is on those that work for industry,consultants, and often themselves. This focus has unintentionally left a large population of itsmembership, the

The first goal was to determine whethera partially new set of biomechanics-based activities were similarly impactful as a different set ofactivities used in a previous study. This goal would in fact test whether activity type (i.e.,biomechanical) or the actual activities themselves were impactful. The second goal was toinvestigate the impact of an intervention targeted at increasing interest in low-interest girls at acollege-wide engineering outreach event.   1  MethodsProtocolWe surveyed (Fig. 1)students attending anengineering outreach eventbefore

Reaching students in the middle school years or earlier is criticallyimportant because they are forming interests that will affect course selection in high school andin the long term may affect career choices [2-4]. To increase female enrollment in engineering,we need to promote engineering as a profession that contributes to the welfare of society [5].Others are showing that participation in robotics can be broadened through classes orcompetitions that are organized around a “Make Life Better” theme [6,7].Based on these findings, we developed an educational program at Michigan TechnologicalUniversity to promote engineering in pre-college STEM education.

They felt a personal responsibility to share theirinsights as academically and socially integrated upperclassmen. Findings suggest that mentoringprograms should leverage the skills and achievements of peer mentors while enhancing theirleadership transitions through the development of the self-determination of their mentees.IntroductionGender disparities in participation in engineering have been persistent in the U.S. for manyyears. Although the number of bachelor‘s degrees in engineering gradually increased by about30% from 2000 to 2012, the actual number of degrees awarded to women has remained nearlyconstant (Figure 1).

Although team diversity could increase creativity and innovation in teams, if notmanaged well, it could also have negative consequences for teams. Of the various forms ofdiversity, race and gender have received the most attention in the literature, likely becausethey provide visual cues to teammates.

These studies have focused on several areas including recruitment, retention andworkplace climate. Women, one of the underrepresented groups, are even less represented inEngineering and Computing fields compared to other STEM fields. Far less research hasfocused on female faculty of color in engineering and computer science. In addition to thebarriers related to gender, this

These results suggest two things: a co-ed camp model maynot be the ideal model for fostering women’s interest in engineering, and a single-sex campmodel can have positive effects on the women who attend and participate.IntroductionDuring World War II, manufacturing companies such as GE and Curtiss-Wright began to hirewomen to function as engineers when the men left to fight in the war [1], [2]. Although thewomen were not formally trained as engineers, many were hired in engineering roles to ensurethat the manufacturing companies could produce aircraft parts needed to support the war. Whenthe war ended and the men began returning to their manufacturing jobs, women’s place in theengineering workplace became obsolete. However

Hiringdiversity programs are increasing the number of female faculty in engineering departments, but adisproportionate number of female faculty fail to make tenure as compared to their malecounterparts. One potential reason for female faculty failing to make tenure is the variability inwhat tasks they are required to do in comparison with their male counterparts. Men aretraditionally asked to teach less and research more, while teaching becomes a larger requirementfor tenure-track females [1].As a whole, efforts are to increase the number of women in STEM careers, especially in
