track, ● support networking of these and other members, ● development of a STEM pipeline of female STEM academics.SWE, like other professional societies, recognizes the significance of mentoring, relationships,and retention of like-minded engineers. In the case of this discussion, it has been recognized fordecades that female STEM faculty benefit from mentoring due to their unique position inacademia.1 Not only are there issues based on gender, but female STEM faculty are often part ofa non-traditional group, which may include older, minority, and disabled women. Due to thenature of this paper, we will consider these topics as appropriate, but will focus on retention ofwomen in academia, support from other professional societies, networking

As with the engineering education researchers, both groups see a dearth of intentionalefforts to change dominant discourses in the rhetoric and practice of technology cultures, andwere working to establish alternative spaces, practices, and cultures to counteract the dominantframe. A lesson for engineering education researchers to take from this recurring narrative thatsurfaced in interviews, might be to celebrate collectivist instincts, the need and desire forcommunity, and to revisit the passion that brought them to the field of engineering education inthe first place. Further, as the discipline and its researchers establish their own dominantdiscourses and practices, we should be mindful not to lose the connection to doing what

allowed for themes to emerge from the data in a ‘bottom-up’ inductive approach. When approaching the interviews inductively, themes were drawn fromthe data without a theoretical reference in mind, similar to grounded theory research methods.8Therefore, we sought to find descriptions related to our participants’ perceptions of women inengineering without using existing general theories for women in engineering. Thesedescriptions were then formed into general themes that captured the essence of our participants’perceptions of being a woman in engineering. Nelson interpreted the interviews with knowledgeof the engineering culture, whereas Shapcott, who is pursuing a Ph.D. in educational psychology,framed it with a gendered motivational lens

Sense of belonging is a salient factor that enhances in-group feelingsthat confirm group membership and help develop stronger identity with the group [19]. Whileplanning and designing an intervention for empowering women in engineering classrooms, itshould be kept in mind whether the intervention is able to foster a sense of belonging in away that women feel they are a part of the engineering community. Strengthening groupdynamics can help minimize climate effects. So, interventions should be designed aroundincreasing women students’ belongingness in an

mind a potentialexplanation. If women did feel threatened by stereotypes of women being less capable, theymight also avoid confirming the stereotype by avoiding saying no to tasks. Stereotype threat as aframe for these time-management challenges is also supported by its paradoxical nature: womenface more time management challenges perhaps because they try to avoid the stereotype of beingless competent.These scenarios also bring to mind these questions: How valued is the engineering woman’stime? How hard do these women have to work to prove their value? The previous research intothe engineering workplace would suggest that women must work harder to prove the value oftheir work if engineering is seen as “gender inauthentic.” Another way to frame

Some students matriculating through the degree programs (such as transfer students orthose with Advanced Placement course credit) may experience curricular choice opportunity thatis incongruent with what is reported in the catalog.Keeping these limitations in mind and looking at the program correlations next to the medianpercentages of their bachelor’s degrees earned by women, it is interesting to cautiously note thatthe correlations were the lowest (and not significant) for chemical and civil engineering, which—of the four disciplines—were more popular with women in

toacknowledge that there are likely other factors that influence female student retention in engineering. Forexample, the unwelcoming climate that women face in the engineering through micro-aggression andimplicit bias is a factor. A more thorough investigation student perception of different majors is neededto show correlation between perceptions of majors at the current setting.Note1. It’s also important to note that the numbers listed above assume binary gender options. The numbersand results can vary slightly, keeping in mind that some of the numbers might change when gender nonbinary students are included.2. There might be some overlap with these numbers.

To work towardgender parity, Diekman et al. suggest “interventions… [to] demonstrate how STEM fieldsinvolve “helping” and collaborating with other people” as a way to increase the involvement ofwomen and communal-minded people in STEM more generally4. One potential strategy may befor engineering programs to highlight that many disciplines within engineering have the potentialto meet communal goals, moving beyond those already seen to be female-dominated. Thissignalling would be possible to implement through public-facing documents such as programpromotional materials that already tend to frame engineering in particular ways through languagechoices18.An important
