The past performance of prospective faculty is less important than the futureperformance of our graduates. Our most informed guess is that the performance of alumni wouldbe expected to improve if our faculties were to become more demographically inclusive.The question is not whether men are more generally inclined towards careers in engineering thanwomen. The question is how, in accordance with Rawls’ Second Principle of Justice, we insurethat careers in engineering—including careers as engineering professors—are open to all. Wecan’t deny the fundamental human need to believe that society cares enough about us to afford areasonable basis for our

Engineering managementcould thus be the management of engineers (and other similar technical types) or what anengineer does when he/she advances in their career. Similarly, project management can beconsidered a sub-set of engineering management when engineering skills are required to managethe project (or when an engineer manages the project).

In classwe look at the strategic plans of a couple of organizations and then for a homework assignment,the students select a company of interest (for profit or non-profit, big or small, domestic orinternational, etc.) and study its strategic plan. As an extension to this exercise, students arechallenged to reflect upon how strategic planning is critical for themself personally. Thismaterial is rooted in the work of Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.3 Specifically,students are asked to develop a personal mission statement and a five-year strategic plan. Theirstrategic plan must contain not only career-based objectives and goals, but also personal-basedobjectives and goals

There is an urgentneed to study this group of youth and develop after school programs that support their needs andbuild on their interests [1]. Additionally, youth from low-income and diverse backgrounds arevastly underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) studiesand careers, and educational policy makers stress the need to develop approaches that promoteyouths’ interests and involvement in STEM [2], [3].

Explanations for women’s underrepresentation in male-dominated fields, such as engineeringand entrepreneurship, have been subject to debate for decades 16,17. However, upon closerexamination of the literature, these explanations can be divided into two major categories:characteristics of the individual and characteristics of the environment. Individual characteristicssuch as a person’s sense of self-efficacy and agency certainly contribute to one’s interest andcapability for success in a particular field. Yet, the nature of the environment in which onechooses to participate also plays a critical role in women’s academic and career decision-making.Key arguments pertaining to individuals’ characteristics
