AB  -          Engineering Faculty Members’ Discussions of the Role of Policy                      in Addressing UnderrepresentationDespite over thirty years of research and outreach to recruit and retain female engineeringstudents, women remain significantly underrepresented in engineering. One definingcharacteristic of prior research and outreach efforts aimed at addressing underrepresentation isthat they focus on students. Progress in diversity research now requires new research approachesthat focus on faculty, rather than students. Faculty pedagogy and interactions have been shown toplay a significant role in students’ decisions to leave STEM majors, and female students inparticular report experiencing negative classroom interactions. However, no research has beendone to characterize what and how a large group of engineering faculty members thinks aboutgender in engineering education. There is a critical need to identify what and how facultymembers think about gender so that effective interventions can be designed to target those waysof thinking, and, ultimately, increase gender equity in engineering education.This paper begins to addresses that gap in research by presenting findings on how a group of 45engineering faculty members from three different institutions discuss policy in interviews aimedat understanding what and how engineering faculty members think about gender and women’sunderrepresentation in engineering. The interviews were conducted in Fall 2014. The centralquestions addressed in this analysis are:    • To what extent do policies come into play when engineering professors discuss       underrepresentation?    • What roles do they see policy playing in women’s underrepresentation in engineering?Implications of the findings for engineering educators interested in policy issues are discussed.
