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

Of course, pressure in a liquid or gas may be easier to measure andevaluate than the human mind when under stress.

Or they’ve had a personal experience in their life that has been puzzling and they just don’t have a solution for it and they want to be able to find it.”- GeorgeRisk taking or the willingness to risk failure is an attribute of an innovative engineer but not anattribute that is found in abundance among practicing engineers.

Although unintentional, treating white male engineering students as our “standard”students and students from underrepresented groups as our “special” students further normalizesthe white male standard in engineering education.

importance to determining where funding is needed is determining how it willget there. As mentioned before, engineering education research is a narrow issue that is not onthe mind of most legislators. Any attempt at gaining support for a single-issue bill would bemost likely be unsuccessful. Education research must be cast as part of the solution to a largerproblem, so a place can be found for it on an appropriate bill. The most typical vehicles for an engineering education funding would be as part of anNSF Authorization Act, such as the STEM Talent Expansion Program (STEP), or as anamendment to the Higher Education Act. However, success on either of these fronts is only halfthe battle; an appropriation must also be secured. It is
