networks from among those we discussed in class (e.g.Bluetooth, 802.11, Passive RFID, etc.) and some that were not discussed but the studentsdiscovered on their own (e.g. Zigbee, WISP, etc.). Figure 2(b) shows the results of theassessment of their network choice. While one of any number of protocols could satisfy thedesign requirements, in the assessment we were looking to see that students provided a clearjustification for their selection of network. For example, some students justified their networkselection by pointing to the environment in which these sensors will be installed, a hospital. Theobservation was made by many students that in a hospital there are extra limitations on the use ofthe RF spectrum so as to not cause interference with

the unique experiences that women faculty face as a gender minority in academicengineering programs. By situating this study within the context of three selective doctoral grantinginstitutions, this study was unique in that it uncovered how institutional processes and programs directlyinfluenced the success of women faculty in engineering. Although women at all three universities facedsimilar challenges including gender bias, work/family conflict, and the “two-body problem,” interviewees’perceptions of the effectiveness of the policies and programs differed significantly by site. This studyprovided insights into how women faculty perceive many of these programs as well as the factors thatinfluence the decision to utilize the policies that
