  1. Part 4Investigation of policies and policy- related issues, and experimental intervention and implementation of relevant exploratory research

  2. Why 3R’s are important & what we should do? • Recruitment • Retention • Reentry and Career Change

  3. Recruitment in Engineering • Address the image problems • Focus on engineering • Invest time and funds in existing programs • Invest leadership, time and funds to create targeted new programs

  4. Retention in Engineering • Women have lower persistence rates - Self confidence declines even when academic performance does not • Factors: Influence of advisor and/or mentor Influence of other students Perception of academic performance Perception of career opportunities Financial difficulties

  5. Retention in Engineering • Retention : Is time-intensive Requires sustained commitment • Adopt : Student chapter Academic program Retention program Some students Faculty member

  6. Reentry and Career Change • Women more likely to have absence from work force Child care and elder care • Women in related disciplines more likely to be underemployed Mathematics, physics, chemistry

  7. 4-1 The 3Rs” Recruitment , Retention and retiring (project & report summary) • Recruitment: fewer women than men train or pursue careers in science, engineering and technology. • Retention: a significant proportion of women leave science, engineering and technology, either to pursue alternative careers or to start a family; • Returning: It is not easy to return to science, engineering and technology disciplines after a career break.

  8. 4-2Recruitment and retention of women graduate students in computer science and engineering • (Project & report summary) • Recruiting women to graduate in computer science programs • .Retaining women through graduation

  9. 4-3Women in to Engineering • (Project & report summary) • Read part 4-3 which includes material taken from the commissioned report by Etta Wharton provides a snapshot of the current state of women in engineering, particularly regarding enrolment, retention, & outreach activates that support girls and women to pursue a career in engineering.
