about their major and minor at university, and ifrespondents worked at a computer or IT-related job. We coded the responses to major/minor andjob as “persisting” or “not persisting,” using two different dependent variables in our analysis.One was Tech-persister (coded persister/non-persister) using the criteria: 1) majoring orminoring in computer science, information science, or any engineering field (or completing thesemajors) and/or 2) as working in a technical position in the workforce (based upon job title andcompany). We created this broad category because the program and its funders care about femalepersistence in a wide variety of computing-related fields; however, we know many stakeholdersin our research are exclusively interested in

comfortable reporting gender-related harassment and discrimination. 5. ConclusionsNationally, female enrollment in undergraduate engineering degree programs is increasin but isstill trailing behind many other disciplines that were formerly male dominated. A similar trend isobserved at Fresno State, but female engineering enrollment and female representation intenured/tenure track engineering faculty remain below the national averages. The authors have setforth a methodology by which they propose to assess the quantitative effect of female faculty onfemale engineering student enrollment, retention, and graduation, which is informed byobservations from gender-balanced and female-dominated departments at Fresno State.Furthermore, plans for a
