To address this inequity, change agents, such as engineering educators and industryprofessionals, must increase our understanding of women’s engineering career pathways,including their decisions to leave the profession
onmentoring. For example, Elliott et al. found that mentoring proved to be vital for women andunderrepresented minorities in STEM fields and Engineering coursework that had a focus onentrepreneurship [20] Additionally, Blaique et al. found that mentoring was a key predictor ofwomen and underrepresented groups in STEM fields going into and staying in the STEMworkforce [21]. b. financial support through scholarshipsScholarships helped retain the students by providing them with financial resources to continuetheir studies and reduce their financial burden and need to work extended hours. Scholarshipsprovided students with motivation and recognition for their achievements, which encouragedthem to stay in school and continue their studies. Additionally

New engineers are hired, but often without a project assigned and work on menial tasksas the “new kid” for a few months. Managers and coworkers are all working long hours, and areunable or unwilling to help with questions due to time constraints and competition within theorganization. Resourceful engineers make strides on the projects they get assigned, and are doinggreat work. They would like to socialize with their colleagues more, but Friday evenings arealready busy. Many realize they are getting passed over for promotions for two reasons, 1) lessexperienced engineers who
, we found that QISE knowledge is perhaps its own form of networking;students indicated that what you know was more important to them than who you know. This caninform future QISE outreach efforts to focus outreach efforts on concentrated learning programs.We hope our insights will lead to scalable programs that can bring QISE to everyone.
