They did not find any differences inmen and women engineering students’ scores in quadrants A, B, and D; but found womenscoring significantly higher in quadrant C. The quadrant C thinking preference (teamwork skills)of women students creates uncomfortable classroom climates for them. Further, women studentswere found more adept at the professional skills such as communication and team skills34,harboring positive attitudes toward roles and responsibilities, and having better

These scales are given in Appendices A and B, respectively.6. Iterative (Weekly) Evaluation and Analyses of the Program Performance and Improvement through DBRWe conducted the surveys at the end of each week (iteration), determined the computed
solutions based on four temporal phases: K12, admission to college,transition to college, and during college (Figure 3). We have further divided the ‘during college’phase in three areas; academic, social, and professional integration based on prior work by Leeand Matusovich16, who undertook a multi-case study of six programs for under-representedstudents to develop a model for co-curricular support based on Tinto’s institutional departuremodel. The model included integration at academic, social, professional, and university levels.We excluded university integration as we did not find any solution in our review in that category. We summarise the solutions in Appendix b and describe them in the forthcoming sectionsbased on the four phases. We
