Panelists provide insights in the paper and during the panelinto a) choosing not to move on and remain at an institution, and b) choosing and explaining whythey moved on. Panelists explore what benefits and costs arose from each decision. Whilediverse panelists were selected, the organizers realize that the panelists offer only their ownexperiences, and so there will be focused time for questions and input from the participants. Abroad range of experiences and wisdoms regarding this challenging decision are shared in thismanuscript as well as during the interactive panel discussion on career self-authorship.IntroductionThis paper presents perspectives from four women in engineering who

This study proposes to answer thefollowing research question and sub-questions: (1) How do women who have persisted in undergraduate engineering programs, at an urban university, build engineering identity through their educational experiences? a. How do women describe secondary educational experiences that contributed to their decision to major in engineering? b. How do women describe post-secondary educational experiences that contributed to their persistence in an engineering major?Subjectivity Statement For qualitative studies, it is necessary to describe how the position of the researcher couldinfluence the data analysis and

).Our research question is: what is the impact of adding women-associated “helping” disciplines(BME and ENV) on the percentage of women undergraduate students enrolled at an engineeringschool as a whole and within traditional disciplines at that school?BackgroundSocial psychology research distinguishes between careers perceived to meet communal goals—often defined based on their benefit to other people—and careers believed to align with moreindividualistic, agentic goals. This distinction is significant because a) there is a perceiveddisassociation between STEM fields and communal goals, and b) women are more likely thanmen to endorse communal goals3,4.

With the answers to the survey, somegraphs were made and wil be shown next.The first question was “When you decided to study Engineering, your family a) agreed with thedecision, b) disagreed with the decision”.

In the first weekof May 2019, the survey was sent out to the graduating seniors and students of senior status toget some of their feedback for phase one. About 60 students took the survey. The responses werelower than expected, as the target group was preparing to graduate and it was a little late in thesemester too.In fall 2019 semester, the survey was sent out once again. About 260 participants took the surveythis time. Once the results were collected, data analysis on the survey responses was carried out.The interviews were the next step. An email of interest

Female students may, in general, havenegative feelings about their engineering courses compared to male students, but when theyexperience meaningful interactions with TAs and faculty, these feelings may lessen. To explorethis possibility, instructor contact was organized into two (binary) categories: (a) high instructorcontact indicated by average Likert scale scores greater than 2.5; and (b) low instructor contactindicated by scores lower than 2.5.

They are: a. Utilize an ecosystem approach to address issues of recruitment, retention, and advancement of African American women in engineering; b. Decouple the intersections of race and gender to address issues specific to African American women; c. Address microaggressions derived from biased-based perceptions and expectations of abilities; and d. Engage courageous and committed leadership within the academy to address challenges faced by African American women in engineering.When asked to share what they believed was
