Recent data shows that, despite manyScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) initiatives over the past decade toincrease the number of those entering into the Engineering and Engineering Technology fields,the percentage of women engineers (and computer scientists) remains fairly low. Several reasonscontribute to the low number of women in these fields, such as support of supervisors/co-workers, perceptions of working environments/conditions, and lack of awareness of whatengineering/technology careers entail.It is important to set

On the other hand, Brad wished to prove himself and show his employerthat he was doing his best to perform the design tasks he was assigned because he had alegitimate interest in preserving and promoting his own career. Between these twoconflicting desires, Brad is caught.

While a traditional female career, like teaching, was the last thing on her mind, she was drawn to educational outreach because she herself had received so little career advice. She eventually ran the educational outreach program at Exxon. After 25
