Description
What Companies and Educators Can Do Workplace climate is a strong factor in why women leave engineering, according to a new National Science Foundation-funded report, "Stemming the Tide: Why Women Leave Engineering." Conventional wisdom holds that many women engineers leave their careers to devote time to their families. But the study says this is not the case--that engineering culture is often more to blame.
Stemming the Tide: Why Women Leave Engineering was published in March 2011 by the university's Center for the Study of the Workplace.
