Examples of these practices includeintentionally building mixed gender small groups for project-based learning, the utilization ofhumanizing language (e.g., the use of the term women versus girls), emphasizing thecontributions of women scientists and engineers, and incorporating relevant social issues intocourse discussions and lectures. Beyond pedagogical choices, providing flexibility is a small wayto model to undergraduate women that their experiences are distinct.

, 2012). Considering the innovation-driven and knowledge-based nature of the U.S. economy,employment opportunities in STEM are projected to increase at a much faster rate than those innon-STEM occupations (CIC, 2014). Also, employees in STEM occupations have and shouldcontinue to experience higher average salaries and lower unemployment rates than theircontemporaries in non-STEM fields (CIC, 2014; Daymont & Andrisani, 1984; Wise, 1975). Inspite of the aforementioned perquisites of working in STEM fields, however, the United Statescontinues to severely lack individuals with the qualifications needed to assume these jobs (CIC,2014; U.S. CJEC, 2012). The insufficiency of the U.S. STEM workforce partially derives fromtwo major factors: 1
