Sexism and stereotyping sees female engineering students leave the field

Female engineers are leaving an already male-dominated engineering field due to a culture that does not take them seriously. Researchers have found that unchallenging projects, sexual harassment and isolation from support networks contribute to women’s exit from engineering.

Are Women Exiting Engineering Because Men Have All the Fun?

Researchers Caroll Serron at the University of California at Irvine, Susan S. Silbey at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Erin Cech (who performed the research at Rice University but is now at the University of Michigan), and Brian Rubineau at ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ University conducted the study to try to get a better idea of just why women who made it through years of STEM education start migrating out of tech. The effort, funded by the U.S.

Why do women leave engineering?

Women who go to college intending to become engineers stay in the profession less often than men. Why is this? While multiple reasons have been offered in the past, a new study co-authored by an MIT sociologist develops a novel explanation: The negative group dynamics women tend to experience during team-based work projects makes the profession less appealing.

Engineering culture and the reproduction of sex segregation

Men and women tend to work in different jobs. This tendency, called occupational sex segregation, is a primary cause of the gender pay gap. A recent McKinsey study finds that reducing occupational sex segregation could contribute $2 Trillion to the U.S. economy.

Tenure time

Tenure is granted to professors and librarians in recognition of excellent performance – and is the University’s strongest guarantee of academic freedom in research, teaching, and service. The year-long application process is a rigorous evaluation of performance.

At its May 16, 2016, meeting, ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ’s Board of Governors granted tenure to the 50 people in the 2015-2016 tenure cohort.

Brian Rubineau Awarded SSHRC Knowledge Synthesis Grant

The proposed knowledge synthesis project will describe novel and implementable evidence based opportunities (EBOs) for promoting the participation and retention of women in STEM careers over the school-to-work transition. The project will focus on integrating scholarship and evidence regarding informal social dynamics involving peers – peer influence, social capital, and social networks – to identify these novel EBOs.
