Engineering Gender Equity Through Policies & Practices
Compiled by Joseph Roy
In 2021, with funding from the National Science Foundation, ASEE incorporated a first-ever policy survey into the annual Profiles of Engineering & Engineering Technology data collection. The questions focused on two factors that could affect gender equity in engineering and engineering technology education: institutional support and climate. Of the 280 institutions that participated, 203 answered at least one of our survey questions in these sections. The results for two aspects—policies and practices on dual-career hires* and childcare—appear above. ASEE will release a longer report by early 2023.
* Dual-career hires refers to institutional policies on hiring two partnered individuals, such as a married couple. Some colleges and universities facilitate placement for the spouse of a recruited faculty member.
