analysis shows the control and treatment are essentially similar,making comparisons of the two groups appropriate. However, given the small sample sizesinvolved, the author cautions against forming any definitive conclusions from the data or theattendant analysis. Small sample sizes limit the applicability of research results to a largerpopulation. Thus, the results observed in the present work suggest rather than conclude. The author notes that the treatment group students appeared to engage with learning inclass more than did the control group students.

Their results are consistent with Fouad’s National ScienceFoundation study finding that 75% of women who left engineering were on a managerial path[50]. In a follow-up study, Cardador found that increasing female engineers’ access tomanagement had unintended consequences for the women on these paths who reported feelingless like real engineers, working longer hours with less flexibility than female counterparts intechnical roles.
