Such small programs are bound tohave greater variability since a change of enrollment of just one women student can greatly affect theresulting percentage.PRIOR STUDIES RELATED TO WOMEN IN ENGINEERING Although few studies have been published that discuss issues of recruitment and retention ofwomen specifically in the area of civil engineering, a number of studies discuss the problems of lownumbers of women in the general field of engineering and several provide suggestions for increasing the 3numbers.

There is very little literature that attempts to characterize(and compare) existing systems engineering programs.Because of that lack of data about our community, two of us at MichTech have embarked on aproject to obtain preliminary data from a large cross section of all systems engineeringundergraduate programs. Our initial goal was to help better place our program in relation toothers, and also to identify programs that are similar to ours for purpose of cross fertilization -learning from each other. A description of our preliminary data collection process follows thenext section. The next section is a first-person narrative by a recent graduate of our systemsengineering program focused

This meeting helped us gain a better understanding of the program beyond what waspublished on its website, and we were made aware of their plans. Around this time, just asDAEN enrollment was increasing, DiSC witnessed an uptick in consultations with and lab visitsfrom students. Not surprisingly, this trend was in line with DAEN enrollment growth.We observed that DAEN students often had a different approach to data needs and data questionsthan students and researchers in other areas of study.

However, the use of alumni surveys and employer surveys as means of programobjectives assessment is qualitative evidence based on opinion. These data should be used assupportive evidence, and their use as primary or only means of assessment is discouraged. Thus,additional validations (internal or external) through other means are vital to the assessment ofprogram objectives.
