I also started my faculty career before the implementation of aformal faculty mentoring system, and did not have the friendly advice of a trusted colleague toguide me, nor did I actively seek out such advice.I was in a quandary: according to the plan—never articulated in the academy, but generallyunderstood by all—everything was fine.

The intention was only to capture a snapshot of faculty perceptions. We further exploredunderlying factors affecting these perceptions in smaller Focus Groups, which were administeredby our research associate (RA) in order to assure confidentiality (the possible sample size is verysmall).The survey was intended to only identify large-scale climate issues within CST. Because of thelength of the survey, we decided that it would be best to capture the big picture of climate issuesin the survey and then have discussions/presentations and focus groups later. Thus, we couldpresent our

“Changing the Conversation,” 2008, National Academy Press, Committee on Public Understanding of EngineeringMessages, http://books.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12187Create a culture in engineering colleges that welcomes women. Successful female engineeringmajors have typically “fit in with the guys”. Until faculty and student peers welcome womenalong with their femininity, symbolized by the sorority girl wearing pink, capable young womenwill continue to reject engineering rather than redefine or reject their sense of self.Integrate successful retention models.
