math activities in high school; AP courses taken in math and science; (b) Role Models: having a sister or brother in engineering, math or science; having a female math or science teacher (role model for women); (c) Support of significant others for the student’s choice of engineering as a major and/or career. Hypothesis 1: Women who enter fields that have lower proportions of women will have stronger academic backgrounds, greater exposure to more role models, and stronger support from significant others for their choice of such a non-traditional major or career. (2) Self-confidence: (a) General academic skills; (b) Math-science academic skills; and (c) Engineering-related skills and subjects

Approaches frequently used to diversify faculty demographicsStarting in 2001, the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded a program, called ADVANCE,designed to “increase the representation and advancement of women in academic science andengineering careers” in a systemic way [9, para. 1]. Under the auspices of the ADVANCEprogram, more than one hundred institutions of higher education

The survey center at the home institution administered the on-linedistribution of a faculty and student questionnaire and oversaw the follow-ups. The Centerremoved personal identifiers before sharing the data set of questionnaire responses for eachinstitution.The Engineering Faculty Survey was designed by the research team and contains 134 questions,organized in five sections: (a) Involvement with Recruiting Activities, (b) Departmental andUniversity Environment, (c) Professional Development, (d) Involvement with Undergraduates,and (e) Personal Information.

an outreach activity, follow up with a discussion delving into the history of Ada Lovelace by using the following questions to scaffold responses. When necessary if discussion lags, ask students to either think-pair-share by sharing their ideas with a partner near them for 2-5 minutes before sharing with the larger class/group or ask students to write their thoughts freely for a 2-5 minutes and then share in conversation with the larger class/group. a. How was Ada Lovelace able to contribute to what would become computer science in 1843? What challenges did she encounter? How did she deal with these challenges? b. Does knowing about Ada Lovelace change
the unique experiences that women faculty face as a gender minority in academicengineering programs. By situating this study within the context of three selective doctoral grantinginstitutions, this study was unique in that it uncovered how institutional processes and programs directlyinfluenced the success of women faculty in engineering. Although women at all three universities facedsimilar challenges including gender bias, work/family conflict, and the “two-body problem,” interviewees’perceptions of the effectiveness of the policies and programs differed significantly by site. This studyprovided insights into how women faculty perceive many of these programs as well as the factors thatinfluence the decision to utilize the policies that

For the full details of the steps taken to design and validate the survey, thereader is referred to our previous paper [18]. A brief overview is provided here for readerconvenience. The survey tool was used to evaluate our hypothesis that there are three broaddecision factors used by secondary students when considering whether to study engineering.These decision factors are: Perceptions – of the profession and the undergraduate programs,Achievement – to meet programs’ entrance requirements, and Confidence – self-perception ofqualifications and traits (See Table 1).

Previous researchers [4]–[7] have identified four predominant factors, (a) awareness, (b)emotions, (c) self-efficacy, and (d) self- advocacy, for how individuals recognize, react to, andrespond to situational HC. However, there is limited previous research about what strategieswomen use to cope with situational HC, principally in engineering environments.

significant amounts of published research have focusedon the design and impact of blended “liberal studies in engineering” programs22, 23, 24, 25, 26(sometimes described as B.A. programs in Engineering Studies) similar to the program wedescribe at CPSU, surprisingly little of this research has attended to gender or the computingdisciplines. We believe that it is time to integrate the diverse research focused a) the relationshipsbetween liberal education and B.S. programs in engineering and computer science, b) theintegration of problem- and context-based education in B.S. programs in engineering andcomputer science, c) B.S. programs in engineering and computer science at liberal arts colleges,and d) the recruitment, retention, and success of women
