Despite current researchthat identifies best practices for STEM interventions that support the formation of youngwomen’s STEM identity (AAUW, 2010), a persistent research gap exists on how women’sexperiences affect their decision to enter and persist in engineering. Increased knowledge aboutwomen’s K-14 experiences, including the supports that may have influenced persistence, willprovide additional insight into how to construct an environment that encourages young women toenter and persist in engineering majors.This mixed-methods sequential study utilized a survey and a focus group to provide insight intofemale students’ feelings of self-efficacy and perceptions of the academic, social, and

Several studies have revealed that disciplinary differences indata management requirements are significant (Weller and Monroe-Gulick, 2014; Akers andDoty, 2013; Kim and Stanton, 2016)). This is a major concern in designing a one-size-fits-alldata management scheme for researchers. It is also clear from the literature that faculty have notyet significantly changed their data management practices to conform to federal grant agencyand publisher mandates (Whitmire et al, 2015, Diekema et al, 2014). Overall, these observeddata management practices present many challenges for libraries when setting up datamanagement services and
