Many factors must beconsidered when developing an approach, such as the student population being taught. In a singleclassroom, each student is unique in how they receive and process information based on factorssuch as preferred learning style, personal experience, competence in fundamental concepts, andindividual motivation [1].

Therefore, this program of researchseeks to address the gap in the IT literature and examine the career development and successoutcomes of women in these positions. Career development for the purpose of this project willbe defined as the series of positions held over time and the factors influencing an individual’sadvancement through those positions (Peterson, Sampson, Reardon, & Lenz, 199642). Careerdevelopment focuses on individuals and how they can make better career-related decisions.Career development theory translates the different expectations of individuals into operationallyhow they manage their careers.

barriers to these goals persist.7 Thesedeterrents include differing male/female attitudes toward science and technology that begin todiverge as early as elementary and middle school, the absence of women faculty, mentors, andfellow students in college and university classrooms, all of which create a “chilly climate forwomen” in these areas.8,9As young women grow older, fewer of them express interest in studying STEM subjects. Theliterature refers to a “leaky” pipeline of women from elementary school through graduate studiesand employment, eventually leading to their under-representation in the STEM professions.10The effects can be seen in colleges and universities where there are comparatively few tenuretrack women STEM faculty, and they are

Introducing social scienceprompts into engineering surveysAbstract:What happens when researchers introduce socially theorized concepts like “culture” into engineering surveys asdata generation prompts? While it is common for us to use social science theories to frame our analyses, it is lesscommon for us to ask engineering students and practitioners to make sense of them through electronicallyadministered surveys. In this paper, we examine 1198 open-ended responses to two items on a Canadianengineering career path survey: Q65: What aspects of engineering culture make you feel like you belong? andQ66: What aspects of engineering culture cause you to question your belonging?
