The complex identity formed as individualsprogress from infancy into adulthood is represented by individual, relational, and collectivedomains (Vignoles, Schwartz, & Luyckx, 2011). The individual domain focuses on personalcharacteristics and beliefs, the relational refers to influence from significant individuals likefamily and friends, and the collective domain reflects on the impact of social groups to which anindividual belongs (Cruess et al., 2015).Drawing from these theoretical foundations, it can be inferred that some undergraduate AECwomen may begin their nascent AEC-PID process even before

researchers.One area in which the REU needs improvement is in recruiting female faculty to work withstudents. There are not many women faculty currently collaborating on the UVa REU (see Table3). Progress in this area is mitigated by the lack of women faculty currently part of the UVaEngineering faculty. This is also reflective of the low proportion of women in Engineeringnationwide. However, female faculty serve as important role models for the participants and it ishelpful to the male as well as the female participants to see a gender balance among theirmentors. The most important aim regarding the faculty remains to have them serve as supportivementors for the participants, regardless of gender or ethnicity, since “faculty can discouragewomen with

Commitment ChartEnrollment and Retention DataOne of the byproducts of a successful SWE section is the effect it can have on femalestudent enrollment and retention. Data was collected from CSM Registrar’s Officereports and the national SWE organization to see if there was any correlation betweenthese factors. Chart 1 shows how female student undergraduate and total enrollmentshave steadily increased from 1992 to 2007. Undergraduate female students increasedfrom 445 in 1992 to 719 in 2007 and total female enrollment increased from 620 to 947 Page 13.1260.8during the same time period.Female graduate student enrollment, however, does not reflect

At the social where thesurvey was presented, a faculty member spoke to the students about developing a Girl Scoutbadge workshop. Because the Girl Scout program was discussed, a higher interest level in thisoutreach activity was indicated versus other outreach activities on the survey (tutoring and teamprojects with local schools).

Characteristics such as poorteaching or organization of material, hard or confusing material, loss of confidence inability to do science, cut-throat competition in assessment systems or “weed out”philosophies, dull subject matter, and grading systems that did not reflect what studentsfelt they had accomplished were reasons given by females for leaving SME majors. Thecompetitive atmosphere, the grading system, and the dullness of subject matter was muchless troubling for males in the same study.

Finally, questions wereadded and refined to reflect the specific climate and history at our institution.The original sample consisted of 644 full-time faculty members on and off the tenure track.Because the professional experiences of faculty off the tenure track vary considerably withcollege and workload assignment, we limited our final sample to

However, while women receive over halfof bachelor’s degrees awarded in the biological sciences, they receive far fewer in the computersciences (17.9%) and engineering (19.3%). This trend reflects upon the workplace in these fieldswith women making up only 29% of the science and engineering workforce, with relatively lowshares in engineering, around 15%. The need for more educational opportunities for femalestudents in fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is present andthere is a need for programs to help correct this trend8.There are currently some STEM outreach programs in place within the United States.

noticed a higher level of responsibility entrusted to male students thanto female students. These hostile experiences often caused female students to question if theywould ever be taken seriously in the workforce or valued as an engineer. When reflecting ontheir working experiences, these women identified moments of extreme self-doubt that stand insharp contrast to the growing confidence and career satisfaction their male peers recounted (Case& Jawitz, 2004; Seron et al., 2016).It is important to note that while some accounts of this mistreatment in the workplace occurred instudies during the early 2000s, two were published in 2016, indicating this culture is consistentthroughout time and still relevant to women in engineering today

First, as we explored various inquiry-based experiences for STEM majors, we found thatstudents who had an influential pre-college independent inquiry experience in STEM were morelikely to have an intended major in STEM (84%) than those who had a non-influentialindependent inquiry STEM experience (69%). These two findings suggest that simply havingpre-college independent inquiry experiences influence students’ choice of major

This was resolved by arranging the camp in two separate weeks to make sure that all twelve participants can take part in both weeks’ activities.(3) The length of the summer camp was an issue for some participants. Personal conversations with the participants revealed that some of them would preferred a week-long camp instead two weeks. It was also reflected in the performance of some of them as they become less attentive at the end of week two.(4) As shown in Appendix A, a session was scheduled for parents to inform them about their children’s career in engineering/technology areas.
