We argue that these findings demonstrates that women still needmore support and acceptance than men to choose engineering as a career and they need this inaddition to their own intrinsic interest in the field. Implications of these findings for practice willbe discussed.IntroductionDespite the preponderance of women in bioscience, chemistry and medicine, engineering isstagnant or losing ground in the proportion of women majors.1 According to the NSF, Bachelor’sdegrees awarded by sex and field were flat at approximately 50% women for all of science &engineering from 2002-2012 but

This level of ostracism to non-prototypical members, or guest members, can severely inhibit future contributions by decreasingmember’s sense of belongingness and motivation22. If no superordinate identity can be foundbetween guest members and core members then evidence shows core members are unlikely toaccept the guest members contributions23 thus limiting successful behavioural integration.
