It concludes that informaladmission practices should be acknowledged to widen access, that institutional cultural changeregarding DEI is problematic and support resources could be improved to better serve allgraduate students, particularly women and other under-represented groups.IntroductionThe proportion of women in graduate engineering programs remains stubbornly low.

where this study was undertaken, continuing education studentscan choose any of the above modalities for industrial engineering programs, unlike regularstudents, whose only option is synchronous classes. The format of the continuing educationprogram (which is known as the Advance study program) is a shorter, continuousuniversity degree, when compared to the traditional one. Students who enroll in anAdvanced study program already have work experience, a professional degree and a priorbody of knowledge, all of which has been validated and recognized by the University. Thisallows students in this program to obtain their industrial engineering degree in 2 or 3 years,compared with the 4 or 5 years a regular program would take, plus supported by

program. It is necessary for engineers to be well versed in managementskills because they spend most of their working lives managing people more than technicalproblem solving. Most engineers work on teams and often it is necessary for them to take on theleadership role of the team, which may lead them to take up management of the team’s projects(Richardson, 1996).Thamhain (1993) indicated that the needs of the engineers should be addressed by includingmanagement skills in engineering education. He stressed the fact that most of the professionalengineers who have had several years of experience believe that management skills are requiredand are essential to success in engineering. According to Visser (2005), management skills areimportant for

In 1999, the total engineering managementMaster’s enrollment was about 1,767 students. In 2003, this number went further up to2,229 and it was up to 4,625 in 2006. This trend is also supported by the continuedincrease in the number of programs over the past 30 years. As reported in Alvear et al.
