We also createda diversity page on the department website with an inclusive statement and a series of videosfeaturing women graduates of our undergraduate programs. As an affiliate of BRAID in 2020,we are also learning best practices from peer institutions with a historical record of improvingthe representation of women within their programs.Results from Culture ChangeOur department is seeing a sustained growth from our efforts in both the number and percentageof undergraduate degrees awarded to women. The percentage of all undergraduate degreesawarded has grown from 9.8% in academic year 2012-13 to 16.1% in academic year 2019-20,increasing monotonically except for 2016 (Figure 1). This translates

It is also consistent with the broader context of literature and best practices forsupporting women in STEM and specifically for supporting community college women inSTEM.Effects of Community on Community College Women in STEMPVWIS events and activities instill a sense of belonging for community college women andserve as positive first encounters with a professional peer community. Such connections are rareon the community college campus, unlike at elite baccalaureate institutions or researchuniversities with strong ties to alumni/ae and industry and research agendas that cultivate strongexternal partnerships with professional communities. While community

This association of gender and career field also impacts young people before theycommit to a career path: middle schoolers have parroted the assumption that engineering is acareer for men [8].The Media and Women in STEMThese disciplinary norms and perceptions are reflected in the ways in which, and if, women inSTEM are portrayed in art, media, and popular culture around the world [3, 7, 9, 10, 11]. Themedia reflects the truth of underrepresentation in STEM [7, 10]. Of the 391 most popular STEM-themed YouTube channels, only 32 hosts presented themselves as female [9].

Emergent researchhas documented immediate impacts of the pandemic across all elements of faculty work,including research (e.g. loss of access to labs and field sites), teaching (e.g. shifts to remote orhybrid instruction), and service (e.g. increased student mentoring).

Such work environments can have lastingrepercussions for women personally and professionally and negatively impact their experienceswith the promotion and tenure process. Recommendations for institutions, EE departments,department chairs, faculty members and future research are offered to help promote a supportiveculture for women EE faculty members applicable to other STEM environments.IntroductionWomen faculty members have an important place in universities in the United States as an elitegroup of highly educated professionals. However, women faculty members are underrepresentedin all professorial ranks of the Science, Technology
male graduates majored in science fields, with only 20% of males graduating from STEMcolleges [2]. To the best of our knowledge, no previous research has investigated factors thatcontribute to reversed gender stereotyping in Kuwait. Therefore, the primary goal of this studywas to identify factors that influence male and female performances and preferences in STEMeducation. This study employed sequential exploratory methodology to identify contributingelements. Interview results of a small sample of participants were used to build measurementtools for a broader population. This paper is in the QUAL stage, the first step of the sequentialexploratory methodology. A STEM model framework was created to detect the connectionbetween STEM model

Methodology and Instrument A sequential explanatory mixed methods design was used for this study [30]. This two-phase methodology was best suited to this research because synthesis of the quantitative surveywith the themes discovered from the qualitative data analysis lead to answers to the researchquestions.
