diversity efforts because of the low numbers ofwomen in departments and a highly masculinized culture. Academia, in particular in theengineering and science disciplines, remains inhospitable to the representation, advancement,and inclusion of women.1,2 Many, if not most, diversity efforts focus on students instead offaculty. Arguments for a student centered-approach include the idea that the pipeline of possibleunderrepresented faculty members must increase in order for there to be successful recruitment.However, women tend to disproportionately drop out of the pipeline, so that fewer apply for jobsat institutions than are present in postdoctoral positions or graduate schools. Our work focuses ongendered dynamics in departments. Our goal is to

The sections that follow outline the findings of the study, including both the key factorsof support that helped women to be successful in academic engineering programs (ResearchQuestion 1) and the challenges that women frequently faced and overcame in their career(Research Question 2).  The Challenge of Balancing Work and Family Demands: Making Tradeoffs Women at all three campuses described balancing work and family as one of the mostchallenging aspects of their careers in engineering. Female faculty members explained that theyhad to make significant tradeoffs to have children

persistence of various groups ofstudents in civil engineering education and careers, this paper describes findings from a surveytaken by 223 undergraduate (165) and graduate students (58) in civil engineering. The surveyaims to address the following questions:•   What are the factors that affect why women and minorities choose to pursue education in civil engineering?•   What aspects of the civil engineering curriculum and course work do students find particularly motivating and interesting? Do students feel that they have a mentor? What kind of work experience and internships have students had? Are they members of student/professional engineering organizations? Do the answers to this question depend on the gender or ethnic/racial

One goal of thisoffering is to provide female students “with a framework to understand their experience has thecapacity to transform their individually internalized messages of personal inadequacy or notbelonging into a larger contextualized experience that they can name
