her theory of in/authenticity through a study of gender roles withinengineering workplaces [2], [3]. Faulkner [2], [3] first used the term “gender inauthenticity” todescribe the engineering dualities. Her theory examined the division of engineering into“technical” and “social” realms, where the technical was seen as “real” engineering.Stereotypically men were expected to engage in the technical realm, while women were expectedto engage more with the social realm. Faulkner continued this research and expanded on genderin/authenticity in later work [2], [3], [25], [26]. Within many engineering firms she discoveredthat certain engineering roles were stereotypically gendered (e.g. technical work for men;personal interactions for women). Thus

Students came from the following College ofEngineering departments: Aeronautical and Astronautical (3), Agricultural and Biological (4),Biomedical (2), Chemical (2), Civil (2), Electrical and Computer (4), Engineering Education (3),Environmental and Ecological (2), First-Year (2), Industrial (3), Mechanical (7), and MaterialScience (4). The self-reported ethnicity of the participants was 27% International, 59% White, 9%Asian, and 5% Underrepresented minorities. This division is similar to the self-reported ethnicity ofthe institution’s pool of eligible

Hypotheses 3a and 3b follow the same logicas hypotheses 1a through 2c that asserts that measures of confidence related to skills acquired ina post-secondary education positively predict Intentional Persistence. Studies of women in therelated fields of computer science have found that men report higher levels of confidence intechnical skills than women [33, 34].

constellation ofmentors as elements that support the success of our Scholars.3.1 MentoringMentoring is traditionally a relationship in which an experienced person provides technical,career, and psychosocial support to a less experienced person [1]–[3]. Technical insights mightinclude problem-solving, approaching internships/jobs, interacting with faculty members, orlearning the unwritten rules of an organization. Career-related functions could includesponsorship, supporting visibility, providing ideas, feedback and suggestions, and protectionagainst risks [4]. Additionally, psychosocial issues might include work-life balance, respondingto discrimination, being confident, coping with disappointment, or growing as a person.Regarding engineering, a number

the past ten years, it is virtually unchanged at 21.3%, as can be seen inFigure 1 [1]. This same conclusion is supported by other sources, including Lichtenstein et alusing National Science Foundation data [2]. Compared to the overall US population of 50.8%women [3], there is significant room for improvement, with improvement defined as an increasein this percentage. Those in the engineering professions know, and have known for decades, thatthis percentage needs to increase, yet society struggles to make any noticeable improvement.While “engineering” as a discipline is commonly discussed in literature, almost no researchspecific to industrial engineering retention and graduate school was identified. The only researchfound addressing

Retaining students in engineeringprograms remains a challenge to all engineering educators. Many institutions are increasinglyfocused on improving retention rates through various programs and services. In 2012 ASEE [3]reported strategies implemented to improve student retention rates in some engineering schools:focus on student learning through tutoring/mentoring, student programs and financial aid, studentacademic enrichment programs, student research/work experience, curriculum and classenhancements, institutional/educational research, and changes to institutional

This institute represents an integratedcommunity of students and alumnae who provide each other with encouragement and support.Along with role models, social-psychological interventions and self-affirmation have beenidentified as strategies to increase female participation in STEM fields (Nnachi & Okpube,2015).Other recommendations include encouraging positive peer connections (Robnett, 2015),internships, career services, and alumni relations (Fawwaz, 2014

in-depth longitudinal case study data, we find that reform involves anongoing process of wrestling with strategic ambiguity. More specifically, we identify three inter-related micro-processes that inform efforts at reform: 1) negotiations over the what of promotioncriteria and systems; 2) struggles over who controls the formulation of promotion policy andinterpretation of criteria; and 3) decisions over how the change process itself should unfold(externally or internally aligned). This paper makes several new contributions to the field: 1) weintroduce the idea of strategic ambiguity as something that is negotiated and navigated ratherthan something to be eliminated; 2) we provide a more nuanced understanding of the micro-processes that
