Jessica A. Krogstad is an assistant professor in the Department of Material Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. She received her PhD in Materials at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2012. Between 2012 and 2014, she held a postdoctoral appointment in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. Her current research explores the interplay between phase or morphological evolution and material functionality in structural materials under extreme conditions. She is also one of the co-coordinators for Girls Learning About Materials (GLAM), a summer camp for high school women interested in engineering. c American Society for

Other projects focused on developing curricular orrecruiting materials attractive to women and men. This paper will discuss the results and lessonslearned in the various programs.IntroductionDespite some progress toward equality in engineering, women remain underrepresented [1],especially in mechanical and electrical engineering, which are two of the largest disciplines. Onereason for the lack of women in these fields is that more women than men change their major toa non-engineering field after beginning college [1], and many students hold inaccurate views ofengineers and engineering [2] that discourage them from entering the

Department at MIT has made greatstrides in increasing its representation of undergraduate women. MIT has far exceeded thenational average and even other peer schools when it comes to balancing the gender enrollmentearly and consistently, both at the school overall and within the Mechanical EngineeringDepartment. While 49.5% of MIT’s MechE department is female, nationally, only 13.2% of10 2.001 (Mechanics and Materials I) is the introductory mechanical engineering class at MIT.MechE bachelor’s degrees go to women (Yoder).

Other engineering programs, such aselectrical and mechanical engineering, had 14% and 11% female populations respectively inCanada in 2005 (CCPE11, 2005).Women also comprise a much lower proportion of the engineering faculty composition ofNorth American colleges and universities.
