American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Pilot Study: An Exploration of the Experiences that Influence Women’s Interest, Pursuit, and Continued Involvement in STEM CareersAbstractWhile longitudinal studies that examine the effects of personal and environmental factors onwomen’s career motivation have been reported in the literature [1] [2], none have provideddepth or breadth of biographical interviewing over the time span of the last two decades. Manyintersecting variables have been identified by empirical research to account for women’scontinued underrepresentation in STEM careers, yet persistence, especially in computer scienceand engineering, remains an issue.

The lifetime of student teams is short,and the team building training is only effective if the interaction between the team members canrapidly be brought to a meaningful state.The context in which we have faced this problem is in teaching a project laboratory in theDepartment of Chemical Engineering at MIT in which students work on a project in groups ofthree. Although the concept of students working in groups in this course can be traced backabout sixty years, initiation of team building training only began several years ago. Initially, wefound that
