Some may have known their dream school since theywere children, whereas others are only beginning to explore their options as they complete highschool. A plethora of factors influence prospective students’ enrollment intentions. Rising costsare a concern for many students, either limiting their options to in-state universities or makingthem feel locked out of a system they are otherwise academically prepared for [1]. The financialchallenges are further amplified by mixed

Rather than seeking to generalize from thesefindings or make definitive policy changes based on how alternate educational scales are made orlived, we wish to highlight their existence and comment on their divergence or convergence ascompared to existing educational scales whose spatial and temporal features have gone largelyunexamined in engineering education in the context of curricular reform.FindingsDrawing on the five aspects of educational scale as defined by

Though “women earn about half the doctorates in scienceand engineering in the United States [they] comprise only 21% of full science professors and 5%of full engineering professors” [14]. A comprehensive study of multiple processes playing a rolein these disparities showed that there was a cumulative effect of advantages for men anddisadvantages for women that built over time to produce highly gendered outcomes by the timethey reached the advanced stages of the education pipeline [15].Thus, the solution to the gendergap in STEM must reach deeper than retention efforts aiming at the college population.Also, a significant gap exists in pay among men and women, even when controlling
