Negative messagescause women to depart the STEM professoriate trajectory, further reducing STEM facultydiversity, which remains primarily male. While balancing an academic career with a family hasreceived attention in the literature, little has focused

Most engineering faculty are familiar with at least one type of e-mailsoftware, so training is unnecessary.In no way should professors limit themselves to e-mail or think of e-mail as a strategy to rivalmore sophisticated technological advances. However, sometimes in the rush to try newtechnological possibilities, one may overlook a simple but effective strategy. Teaching with e-mail requires little effort but produces a big pay-off.
