Although there have been many efforts on the recruitment side to attract people of varying genders to study engineering and join the profession, such efforts are ineffective if this diverse population is not retained in engineering. This book identifies the factors affecting the recruitment of women into, and the retention of women in the engineering profession. The authors examine the experience of male and female students at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels to better understand women's experiences at each stage in their careers through to becoming industry members or academics. Issues such as intimidation and discouragement at the undergraduate level, disproportionate funding and support at a graduate student level, and the correlation between retention and opportunities for collaboration at an industry/academic level are discussed. The book concludes by highlighting the key findings affecting the retention of women in engineering and offers potential solutions. The findings covered in this book may be used by engineering postsecondary institutions and workplaces to create a more diverse and inclusive environment. This book is also useful to researchers, scholars, students, and academics interested in the retention of women in STEM industries.Diversity and Inclusion Research,2662-6004Diversity in the workplaceTechnical educationIndustriesDiversity Management and Women in BusinessEngineering and Technology EducationIndustriesDiversity in the workplace.Technical education.Industries.Diversity Management and Women in Business.Engineering and Technology Education.Industries.620.0082Chorlton Bronwyn1744152Gales JohnMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910872191203321Advancing Women in Engineering4230797UNINA
