Retaining Women Engineering Faculty – What Do We Know? Linda R.

It went on to speculate that the overall number of women engineers inacademe were unlikely to change in the near future. Why is this the case? Are women engineersnot choosing to pursue academic posts? Are those that do not being retained? If so, why? A2011 study by Mason found that women who planned to have children opted out of the tenuretrack pipeline at research universities in favor of careers that they

These properties have been employed as newplatforms to control, confine, and enhance light-matter interactions in the nanostructures at thesubwavelength level. Besides their lightweights, the simplicity in designing, and well-establishedfabrication process, compared to their three-dimensional counterparts (metamaterials), metasurfaces areof great interest in serving in a variety of real-life applications, such as lenses, imaging, sensing, beamsteering, and solar energy harvesting.
