implementationactivities.Dialogues was grounded in an institutional strategic planning process and occurred as part of arange of gender equity activities implemented during an NSF funded ADVANCE project. TheADVANCE program provides significant funding to institutional change efforts that recruit,retain and promote women faculty in science, technology, engineering and math fields. TheDialogues process consisted of a series of sessions (ranging from three to eight) that engageddepartmental faculty in a total of eight hours of facilitated reflection activities and discussionsabout implementing the university’s strategic plan to meet the vision of the respectivedepartment. At each meeting, facilitators guided faculty through a series of activities aimed atdefining the

While some generalizations can be drawnfrom existing literature, it is important to know what, if any, gender-based differences existamong engineering faculty regarding the use of student-centered strategies and attitudesregarding those strategies.MethodologyThis study was conducted to

With the growth of the series, the number of people involved and impacted grew too. One of the unique features of this series is that it involves four of the five colleges at Louisiana Tech with at least 10 individual programs participating, creating a truly interdisciplinary seminar series. Over the last three years, faculty and students from biomedical engineering, biology, kinesiology, and chemistry have been polled for seminar speaker recommendations. In turn, those faculty members have been involved in the planning and hosting of their recommended

least not until the project was over. Instructors rarely, if ever, learned about problems earlyenough to intervene. Students repeatedly told us that it was not worth going to the instructor todiscuss team problems. Furthermore, there was a general sentiment that problem teammates areinevitable and there is little an instructor is willing, or even able, to do.This sense that slackers and other problem teammates are inevitable was also expressed by manyof the faculty Hunter (2009) interviewed. However, as we already established, many problemswith slacker teammates—and, to a lesser extent, problems with exclusion—could have beenprevented with clearer planning and communication about expectations. Such problems can beeasily resolved by teaching

Even with worst-case assumptions for our recruitment and retention results, we would nearly achieve this criticalthreshold by 2025. Again, planning for worst-case conditions, if we were to cease all of ourprogramming efforts after 5-10 years, we would still achieve at or near 30% female for a periodof time (5-10 years) before the effects of our intervention wear off. This may be enough time forthe culture of the field to shift enough, i.e., orthopaedics seen as more “female friendly” bymedical students, to have a permanent effect on gender

. Women discussedstereotypes at additional length in the open comments section of the survey.4. ConclusionsBased on the survey data we have concluded that the Industrial Distribution climate is overallpositive for both male and female participants. This is based on the fact that the majority ofrespondents reported satisfaction and did not report instances of gender stereotyping, internaldiscrimination, or internal harassment.Despite this positive climate however, the research has shown evidence that a glass ceiling ispresent for women in the industry. Additionally, men are less likely to acknowledge theexistence of this glass ceiling indicating that firms could benefit from succession planning,training, and consideration for women in the industry
