. Yet this population continues to be understudied. Thispaper examines the paths that women take toward employment in STEM at communitycolleges as well as factors that facilitate and hinder the advancement of women in STEMat community colleges. Data were collected by face-to-face interviews with 29 womenfaculty at nine community colleges in Ohio. Preliminarily results indicate considerablecareer satisfaction among many female faculty members, but contradict a popularstereotype that “community colleges make life easier for women with families.”.1. IntroductionCommunity colleges are key to the future of the United States, as they help fill the demand for askilled domestic workforce in science- and technology-related fields. To succeed, workers

The community college system feeds two largepublic university systems, the 23-campus comprehensive California State University (CSU)system, and the 10-campus research-oriented University of California (UC) system, as well asnumerous private and out-of-state universities. Ideally, students should be able to complete all oftheir lower-division coursework at a community college and then transfer to a four-yearinstitution to complete the last two years, thus earning a bachelor’s degree in approximately fouryears.In the 2006-2007 academic year, for instance, 55% of California State University (CSU)graduates and 28% of University of California (UC) graduates began

Martorana and Williams at theState College of Washington found that the transfers had a problem of adjustment which affectedtheir academics effectiveness during their first semester of transfer, which became “negligible”as the transfer students adjusted.3The term “transfer shock” was coined by John R. Hills of the University System of Georgia in1965.2 The term grew out of the discussions on whether a community college transfer studentdoes as

participation of diversepopulations in engineering and other technical careers.1, 4, 5, 6, 9 The attention that has beendirected toward community college pathways is motivated by several attractive qualities thatthese campuses offer. First, community college faculty are experienced in remediation, anincreasingly important issue for all engineering schools in the U.S. They are well positioned inthis regard to participate in workforce transitions, (e.g., second careers), or returning to schoolafter extended periods of time. Second, community college tuition is more affordable than tuitionfees at four-year campuses; hence, community colleges offer a practical alternative forfinancially sensitive students and their families. Third, community colleges

andgoverning groups across the nation are beginning to scrutinize time to graduation rates ofbaccalaureate degrees.1 The US Department of Education recently increased the reporting ofuniversity graduation rates from six to eight years, due to the increasing length of time studentsare taking to complete a baccalaureate degree. The increase in time to complete a degree isattributed to factors, such as increased cost of attendance and student employment to help pay forcollege, which may cause part-time enrollment. 2, 3 A study by an NSF funded engineeringeducation center, indicates that the pool of engineering students remains those entering as firsttime students, since very few students migrate into engineering from other degree paths.4 Thereare many

engineering bachelor’s degrees increased from lessthan 1% to 13% over that time frame, with women earning 41 bachelor’s degrees in those twodisciplines combined in 1966 and obtaining 2,571 electrical and 2,107 mechanical degrees in2006. Because those two disciplines have historically made up over half of the engineeringdegrees and in 2006 comprised 36,026 (53%) of the total engineering bachelor’s degrees1, thisindicates a serious problem in recruiting, retaining, and advancing girls and women in thesefields. See Figure 1 for number of bachelor’s degrees earned by women and men in engineering,electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering for the years 1966 to 2006 (Note that no datawas available for 1999).Although women’s underrepresentation in

Despite nearly 20 years of recruitment and retention efforts focused on female students,women constituted only 19% of engineering students in 2007. A cross-case analysis of sixengineering schools based on rich qualitative data from faculty, student, and administratorinterviews, as well as observations and documents, provides a unique opportunity to identifytrends and unique practices used to address the recruitment and retention of women engineeringstudents. This paper focuses specifically on how these institutions implement K-12 outreach,admissions, summer/bridge, and first and second-year support programs. We find three themesthat support recruitment of female students: 1) historical commitment, institutional type, andgeographical location; 2
