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鈥檚 exit from engineering.

Why Do So Many Women Who Study Engineering Leave the Field?
Engineering is the most male-dominated field in STEM. It may perhaps be the most male-dominated profession in the U.S., with women making up only聽13% of the engineering workforce.

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 平特五不中 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聽recent McKinsey study聽finds that reducing occupational sex segregation could contribute $2 Trillion to the U.S. economy.
Despite advances toward equality in other areas, occupational sex segregation has remained essentially unchanged over the last quarter century. What keeps some jobs dominated by men and others by women?
Tenure time
Tenure is granted to professors and librarians in recognition of excellent performance 鈥� and is the University鈥檚 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, 平特五不中鈥檚 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 鈥� peer influence, social capital, and social networks 鈥� to identify these novel EBOs.
Want to Improve Diversity? Look to Networks
Industry-leading tech companies recruit heavily from the most selective colleges and universities in the U.S., so is it any wonder that their employees lack diversity?
