The authors wish to investigate whether the addition of these female faculty affected thepercentage of the department’s female students entering these sub-disciplines. The authors willuse cohorts of students who attended prior to their hiring as a baseline. Additionally, the authorswill compare the data from post-hiring cohorts based on whether they took a foundationalengineering course with a female instructor.While these correlations are of interest, the numerical information on retention and GPA only tellsa part of the story. Considering the qualitative of experiences that women have in an engineeringprogram in terms of classroom environment, interactions with peers, faculty, and
