Interestingly, 8% said they neverplanned to enter engineering. Since they were able to select multiple responses, we don’t know how many of the womenwho were not interested in engineering after graduating with an engineering degree never planned to enter engineering.But clearly some women lost interest in engineering after starting school but before getting their first job in engineering.This lack of interest in engineering is something I think we need to consider more often when discussing how to retainmore women engineers.Source: N.

Also, the student experience variedbased on their breakout room and their advisor’s comfort with technology.

In addition, rural teachers indicated different priorities forprofessional development. Though teachers overall saw the greatest benefit fromprofessional development on lesson plans that incorporate engineering, rural teachersindicated an even higher benefit just from having access to an expert teacher inengineering.The lower confidence that we see may be indicative of the limited support, community,and resources available to teachers in rural areas who often have a more limited budgetand fewer colleagues to collaborate with.
