Faculty in EngineeringAbstractISU is in the 4th year of a 5-year NSF funded ADVANCE grant. In accordance with the intent ofNSF’s “Institutional Transformation” grants, the focus of this work is not on the individualprofessional development of women, but instead, on changing the academic environment inwhich they work. The goal of the ISU ADVANCE research program is to investigate theeffectiveness of a multilevel collaborative effort to effect institutional transformation that resultsin the full participation of women faculty in STEM fields in the university. Our approachfocuses on transforming departmental cultures (views, attitudes, norms and shared beliefs),practices (what people say and do), and structures (physical and social arrangements), as

Preliminary Results.AbstractThe under-representation of women in engineering is of particular concern nationally, bothbecause there is a national need for more engineers, and because women’s access to a lucrativeand growing occupation is desirable. In research on recruitment into engineering, one of theexplanations of women’s under-representation in the undergraduate major is their preference fora profession that contributes to the social or societal good more clearly than engineering istraditionally perceived to do. Not only are they less likely to enroll in
