, there is a growing body of research on undergraduate mentoring. However,few studies explore faculty mentoring processes in academic settings and none describe howfaculty mentoring networks are enacted in ways that advantage and disadvantage particulargroup members such as women in engineering.44 Our research expands the current literature by studying not only women faculty members’mentoring relationships but also women engineers’ developmental mentoring networkconfigurations. Furthermore, we explore an underresearched mentoring process known asepisodic or spontaneous mentoring and mentoring moments.1 As such, we contribute to much-needed empirical research on women in STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and

The culture of technological work and its environment areassociated with masculinity and power, both on a personal and societal level,1 leaving femalesout of the equation and without influence, control or authority. Schooling, includingundergraduate engineering education, also reproduces gender divisions within educationalinstitutions, thereby reproducing these imbalances within the professional workforce.2By asking distinctive questions regarding how female undergraduate engineering studentsperceive and negotiate their gender identities in the male gendered environment of

significant gender differences in how mentors rated their male and female interns’abilities in these workforce skills, but there were four key areas where female interns rated theirown abilities lower than did their male peers: analytical thinking, computational skills, computerskills and technical skills. Implications of these findings are discussed.Introduction Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, especiallyengineering, experience difficulty not only recruiting but retaining talented students. Roughlyhalf of the students entering college in a STEM major will persist to obtain a degree in thatarea.1,2 To further complicate this matter, there has been only limited success in attracting andretaining women and

23.633.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Gender Differences in Motivation to Perform K12 OutreachAbstract To continue our leadership role in technological innovation, the United States is callingfor 10,000 more engineering students to graduate each year. While producing more engineers is acomplex systemic challenge, one of the major hurdles is the lack of students entering the pipelineto higher education in STEM fields. Outreach programs are one way to interest young people inengineering, but more engineers need to be motivated to perform outreach. Using the VIE(Valence, Instrumentality, Expectancy) motivation framework, we determine similarities anddifferences between women and men

are susceptible to stereotype threat that woulddiscourage them from participating in STEM or choosing STEM careers[5]. Girls are attentive tothe behaviors that women in their culture engage in and thus feel efficacious in and model thosebehaviors[6]. Girls’ attitudes regarding scientists and engineers have been influenced by the lackof female representation in the media, and with this absence of role models, many girls tend toview science and technology an unsuitable career choice and personally irrelevant to their lives.One way to alleviate these concerns is to expose students to role models, specifically females todispel stereotype threat for young women, in math and science [6-10], or in general – STEMProfessionals.
