about the persistence and success of women in science, technology,engineering, and mathematic (STEM) fields is generally implicitly or explicitly framedfrom either an individual or environmental/structural perspective5,6 . An individualperspective examines the impact of individual variables, such as motivation and interestin science and engineering7, on retention and career interests. On the other hand, anenvironmental or ecological perspective shifts attention to the wider social context,including not only societal expectations and stereotyping of a field as masculine orfeminine8, but experiences in and out-of-the classroom.

Engineering (2001 - 2008)AbstractFor over two decades, the US government has supported gender equity programs in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. In 2001, the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) initiated the ADVANCE Institutional Transformation (IT) program with theprimary goal to increase the representation of women in STEM. Since 2001, 37 institutions ofhigher education have received the NSF ADVANCE IT awards, and 19 have completed theirfive-year projects. Using the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) data, weassess the changes in the representation of full-time tenure-track women faculty in engineeringcolleges.
