I conducted semi-structured interviews with fifty percent or moretenured female engineering faculty at each of the research sites, for a total of 21 women (7 atResearch University I, 9 at Research University II, and 5 at Research University III). These threeresearch sites were selected for several reasons. First, the low representation of women inacademic engineering programs is most pronounced at
