Competence in Engineering: A Tale of Two women. (ASEE 2009)
A lesson for engineering education practitioners, based on the findings in this paper, is that some female engineering
students, and perhaps some students in general, need on-going help to bridge the gap between their classroom learning
and their perception of the skills needed to practice engineering.

Exploring Gender and Self-confidence in Engineering Students: A Multi-method Approach.
(ASEE 2009)
Findings from this study indicate that, over the course of the four years of their engineering education, men have
higher confidence than women in their math and science abilities and in their ability to solve open-ended problems.

Engineering Students Define Diversity: An Uncommon Thread. (ASEE 2008)
Diversity is defined in many ways by a vast demographic of students. In their own words, students outlined an impending
generational paradigm shift in diversity.

Being and Becoming: Gender and Identity Formation of Engineering Students
(ASEE 2008)
As the nature of student understanding of engineering changes over time and differs between genders, a complete
picture of how students develop an engineering identity becomes complex.

Same Courses, Different Outcomes? Variations in Confidence, Experience, and Preparation
in Engineering Design. (ASEE 2008)
Gender differences in confidence and perceived academic preparation to engage in design are primarily accounted for
by the gender gap within the majority group.

Socioeconomic Status and the Undergraduate Engineering Experience: Preliminary Findings
from Four American Universities. (ASEE 2008)
Low SES students were more likely to professionally persist (i.e., intending to do engineering-related work and/or
study for three years following graduation) than their high SES counterparts.

Cultural Models of the Admissions Process in Engineering: Views on the Role of Gender.
(ASEE 2007)
The view that women get into the college easier than men was prevalent among students, despite the fact that "UWest"
has been effectively banned by State law for almost a decade from treating a student preferentially because of her
gender.
