Creating a pipeline of female engineering academics by increasing awareness and understanding ofthe academic career path. For example, SWE can increase understanding of what an academic career pathentails, resolve misconceptions, and/or conduct an awareness campaign. Examples include conferencesessions and/or webinars targeting a broad engineering audience.
Krause is professor in the Materials Science Program in the Fulton School of Engineering at Arizona State University.
