experiences as womenfaculty were remarkably similar, we wondered about the experiences of others in the discipline.This led to an original survey that Lima and Christy developed and administered (withundergraduate researcher Cauble) to female faculty in BAE in 1998. Our objectives were (1) tosurvey this group on their motivations for choosing engineering, their personal and professionalexperiences, and their reflections on women in engineering, and (2) to make recommendations tobetter integrate women into all engineering disciplines. The work was presented at the 1999ASEE meeting (Cauble et al., 1999) and the full study was published in 2000 (Cauble et al.,2000).In 2005, we decided to re-survey the same population with a largely similar instrument

While this initial objective continuesto be important, the program has had numerous other benefits to both students and faculty. Withthis overall objective in mind, sub-objectives were developed to support the mentorshipexperience to assist and encourage the student participants to: • Form relationships with faculty and connect with upperclassmen and others within their departments and the

(2001). 1 Althoughthe ADVANCE program has contributed to the development of a more diverse science andengineering workforce, much remains to be done. Women face deep-seated challenges fromwhen they enter academia as students and these challenges continue through the faculty ranks[34, 39]. As undergraduate students, women encounter differential treatment within theclassroom, contributing to a different and inferior experience than men. Women’s contributionsto classroom discussions tend to be ignored or trivialized by men [40]. Women cope with thismarginalization by creating their own networks of support through close bonds with otherwomen and forming all female clubs [27, 34, 35]. Additionally, the inclination for males tooutnumber the females

penalty attached for taking advantage of such a policy. • Give adequate guidance as to what the criteria for promotion and tenure are at that particular institution. 2. Perform a cultural audit: • Develop an anonymous survey to see how women faculty perceive their work life balance. At least one question should ask for their suggestions about how their departments could better support them. • Create a series of focus groups of women faculty to discuss and expand upon some of the results of the survey. Action items or items requiring further follow-up as generated in these discussions should be addressed to the appropriate administrative office

The data presented in this paper underscores the importanceof women faculty and mentors for the success of female engineering students.BackgroundUnderrepresentation of women in engineering, despite performing well academically, is a well-established fact and has been the focus of many researchers and policy makers. While lack ofrole models is considered one of the important factors, the gender of mentoring faculty hasrecently received some attention [1] and [2]. Because of a lack of introductory courses at thehigh school level, engineering faculty have the added responsibility of not only teaching thesubject but also introducing the profession and mentoring students and developing a sense ofbelonging [3].

competitiveness and national security purposes.DiscussionThere is a large and growing need for the advancement of professional education for the nation’sengineers in industry. There is an especially critical need to develop engineers as ‘champions’,‘innovators’, and ‘leaders’ throughout their professional careers through professionally-orientedgraduate studies. This need is so large that it is not out of the question to consider creatingacademic departments [graduate centers] within existing colleges of engineering and technologythat cater solely to the professional graduate degrees. These “professional studies departments”[graduate centers] would have their own administrative structure, leadership, and faculty whoseprimary mission is to develop and
