…:” Making Meanings of Being a Woman in EngineeringAbstractEngineering is often described as one of the last bastions of a macho culture where womencontinue to experience minority status. In this article we ask, how do women make meaning ofthis status? We explore this question in the context of students‟ socialization into the professionover the course of their engineering education. Drawn from diary data, our findings show thatyoung women hold multiple and contradictory perspectives about their status as women inengineering. The strands of these perspectives are articulated around (a) a feminist critique, (b)gender essentialism, (3) meritocracy and individualism, and (d) exceptionalism. These findingssuggest that their taken-for-granted assumptions

educational intervention programs for minority studentsinclude the following components: (a) intensive monitoring of participants, (b) an articulatedprogram that reaches across grade levels, (c) consistent messages to raise aspirations, (d)building group cohesion and a sense of membership in the school and the program, and (e)access to rigorous curriculum and support to succeed in that curriculum. The UW GenomicsOutreach for Minorities (GenOM) Project is an undergraduate research program forunderrepresented ethnic minorities that focuses on not only these four components, but also ondeveloping career pathways in science and engineering. This program not only provideseducational and research opportunities for underrepresented minority students

thisword from German to English, translators must either decide to: (a) take the word directly as aloanword or (b) write its meaning periphrastically to attempt to grasp its sense structure to thebest of English’s extent. Likewise, when translating CATS to CATS-S, this also became anoticeable issue upon inspection. Consider questions one through three of CATS-S where “is tobe drawn” from CATS is phrased as “se dibujará” in Spanish, which translates to “will bedrawn” (see Figure 1). Although not dramatically, the imperative sense of “is to be drawn” islost, which could bring momentary confusion to a student undergoing the testing process.There were also inconsistencies with regards to the translation of terminology from CATS toCATS-S.

groups reported that theirinvolvement in a pre-college summer program for Black STEM students helped them achieveacademic, social, and professional expectations [17]. Specifically, entering college having anetwork of peers, faculty and administrators gave students access to resources they might nothave otherwise utilized, in addition to a sense of family. Likewise, there are numerous examplesof successful mentoring programs in higher education like the Meyerhoff Scholars Program [18],the Merit Program for Emerging Scholars at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign[19], the Adventor Program [20] and others.Generally, there are three primary components to a mentoring program: (a) program values, (b)access to faculty and peers, and (c

technique is needed. Multiway frequency analysis is designed to discover associationsamong discrete variables [7]. In multiway frequency analysis, a log-linear model is used todevelop the best model for predicting frequencies in each cell of the design. This model includesonly the associations that are needed to reproduce the observed frequencies [7]. This process issimilar to multiple regressions. The full model includes all possible effects in a multiwayfrequency analysis. An example full model of three variables (A, B, C) is shown in (1):ln Fejk=θ + λAi +λBj +λCik +λABij +λACik +λBCjk + λABCijk (1)Where Fe is the expected frequency for each cell ijk, λ is the effect parameter, and θ is aconstant.Modeling
