AB  - Only 5% of full professors in engineering are women, despite a nearly gender equal amount of graduates from doctoral programs in STEM (Shen, 2013). Students possessing an entity mindset (e.g., intelligence based on genetics) versus incremental mindset (e.g., intelligence based on effort and hard work) are more likely to disengage when confronted with highly challenging coursework (Robins & Pals, 2002).  Gender has been shown to moderate the relation between entity orientation and attributions to class difficulty for women and not males (Robins & Pals, 2002).  Also, students who identify strongly as engineers are more likely to persist and become engineers, and women are more likely to have less confidence in their abilities than men, reducing the likelihood of women persisting in engineering.  The purpose of this study is to explore whether entity or incremental mindsets influence a student’s engineering identity over time and see if this relationship differs by gender. 

Engineering students, 266 male and 131 female, in three sections of first year engineering classes engaged in multiple activities to encourage students to embrace the need for diversity in engineering and promote inclusive behaviors within engineering. The purpose was to help all students broaden their conception of who could be an engineer and promote inclusive behaviors. We hypothesized that women with incremental mindsets would be more likely to identify as engineers over the course of the semester. Students were surveyed at 5 time points using scales to measure entity and incremental mindsets and engineering identity (Dweck & Leggett,1988; Estrada et al., 2011).  We will model the data using multilevel modeling with repeated measures (level-1) nested within persons (level-2).  At level 1, we will use entity and incremental mindset as time-varying covariates. At level 2, we will predict the level-1 intercepts and slopes from the overall means of students and gender.
