in theUniversity of Missouri system, close to 90 percent of the 7,000-plus students enrolled areseeking degrees in engineering or hard sciences. There are approximately 440 full- and part-timefaculty members, the majority of which are tenured or tenure-track. Eighty-three percent are inSTEM disciplines.Many of these professors were teaching several years ago when it was common for freshmen inpacked lecture halls to hear, “Look to your right; look to your left. One of you won’t be here thistime next year.” Although that is no longer the accepted slogan at Missouri S&T, and studentsgenerally hear more empathetic messages from faculty on campus dedicated to their success,teaching strategies have not evolved all that much over the years

career plan beyond obtaining my engineering degree. I knew that a career in engineering would be interesting and challenging and I could make good money. Most likely I never dreamed beyond that because I didn’t have any women role models in engineering and wasn’t aware of any women in top-level positions in engineering. I do think maybe that kept me from developing a career plan and dreaming further.Furthermore, another participant who did not have a career plan explained, When I started my career there were so many opportunities and I didn’t want to limit myself by having an end state in mind. My parents encouraged me to do whatever made me happy and that was the kind of path that I took. The job
