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. 0aDiversity in the workplace.957447 0aTechnical education.965871 0aIndustries.96749014aDiversity Management and Women in Business.97208524aEngineering and Technology Education.96587524aIndustries.9674901 aGales, John.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut9801042 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303165444208iPrinted edition:z978303165446608iPrinted edition:z9783031654473 0aDiversity and Inclusion Research,x2662-600498010540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-65445-9  aZDB-2-BUM  aZDB-2-SXBM  c61379d61379
