A Cross-Institutional Comparison of Elements of College Culture that Promote Women's Interest in Engineering at the Undergraduate Level

This poster, from the National Institute for Women in Trades, Technology, and Science, provides information on elements of college culture that promote women's interest in engineering. The poster displays the results of a National Science Foundation study identifying "four common factors across institutions that correlate with high retention rates of women in engineering programs." These factors include engineering student groups, female groups or activities, work experience, and enjoyment of subject matter.
