Wehave found that our first two cohorts of female engineering students, currently in their secondand third years, express significantly higher levels of career expectations, self-efficacy, feelingsof inclusion and coping towards engineering than when they first entered. !IntroductionEngineering remains an academic area where women obtain a small fraction of bachelor degrees,and this trend does not seem to be changing in the near future. A recent report by the NationalStudent Clearinghouse found that although more students are pursuing S&E degrees, women’sshare of these majors has failed to increase over the last ten years.1 Researchers’ assumptions thatas women claimed more of the

PathwaysEngineering education is typically described using a “pipeline” metaphor, wherein students are shuffledalong pre-determined pathways toward a narrow set of career outcomes. However, several decades ofresearch have shown that this pipeline model does not accurately describe engineering trajectories andmay exclude students who enter the pipeline at different times and have other career outcomes in mind.Similarly, qualitative studies have shown that normative identities in engineering feature masculinestereotypes such as “geeks” and “nerds” that reproduce technical/social dichotomies. Several studies havesuggested that broadening the expected outcomes and identities in engineering to include “alternative”pathways and identities may contribute to a shift
