Session 3592 Women Engineers: Preparing Them For The Workplace Elaine Seat University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee IntroductionThe engineering workplace is changing, and one of the changes is in the gender mix of technicalprofessionals. There are more women entering the engineering workforce, and with time, it isexpected that women will compose a greater percentage of the total of engineers. However,simply because there are more women graduate engineers doesn’t mean that they will remain inengineering for a career. A successful

Students majoring inSTEM during their undergraduate tenure can go on to pursue graduate school, medicalschool, law school or work for top engineering companies and even the government.

For women’s careeradvancement to upper leadership positions in engineering firms, they must be prepared with keyleadership competencies. In many engineering organizations, success in leadership andmanagement roles is described in masculine terms and associated with stereotypical malecharacteristics [2]. Engineering leadership and one’s engineering leadership identity are oftenportrayed as a masculine practice so that success in leadership in an engineering career oftenmeans that women should learn to lead through a socialized masculine

Building off this recognition, educators can also dynamically develop acurriculum that ensures all students understand how to apply engineering design and why it isapplicable in a range of situations, even if they don’t find much value in it or intend to pursueengineering.To begin achieving this end, the Engineering Design Value Expectancy Scale (EDVES) wascreated and resulted from the analysis of several tools already in existence: the Value-ExpectancySTEM Assessment Scale (VESAS), the Value-Expectancy Model of Motivation, Carberry’sDesign Self-Efficacy Instrument, and the STEM Career Interest Survey (STEM-CIS) [3-6].
