Women in Engineering

Engineering (2001 - 2008)AbstractFor over two decades, the US government has supported gender equity programs in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. In 2001, the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) initiated the ADVANCE Institutional Transformation (IT) program with theprimary goal to increase the representation of women in STEM. Since 2001, 37 institutions ofhigher education have received the NSF ADVANCE IT awards, and 19 have completed theirfive-year projects. Using the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) data, weassess the changes in the representation of full-time tenure-track women faculty in engineeringcolleges. While earlier cross-institutional studies of the ADVANCE IT program focus only onADVANCE
