Inhalt: Nach einem Überblick über den einschlägigen Forschungsstand legen die Verfasserinnen Ergebnisse einer empirischen Untersuchung vor, für die 266 Studentinnen der Wirtschaftswissenschaften, der Ingenieurwissenschaften und der Informatik zum Thema "bewusste Karriereplanung" befragt wurden. Eine entsprechende Frage bejahten 43,8 % der Befragten. Eine bewusste Karriereplanung findet sich am häufigsten bei Befragten, die eine Berufstätigkeit im mittleren und oberen Managementbereich anstreben. Die meisten Frauen, die ins Top-Management streben, finden sich unter den Studentinnen im Frauen-Studiengang WirtschaftsNetze. Am niedrigsten war der Anteil in den konventionellen ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Fächern. (ICE2)

Inhalt: "Der Beitrag baut auf dem Europäischen Projekt WomEng 'Creating Cultures of Success for Women Engineers' auf, das von Universitäten und Berufsorganisationen für Ingenieurinnen aus sieben Ländern (Deutschland, Finnland, Frankreich, Griechenland, Großbritannien, Osterreich, Slowakei) durchgeführt wird. 'Organisationskultur und Geschlecht in den Ingenieurwissenschaften Europas' bezieht sich auf die Situation von Ingenieurinnen im Beruf, wobei der Schwerpunkt der Analyse auf institutionellen Strukturen und Kulturen in ausgewählten Industrieunternehmen liegt. Zum methodischen Ansatz gehören Homepageanalysen, Fokusgruppendiskussionen mit Ingenieurinnen und Expertinneninterviews mit Managerinnen. Forschungsergebnisse zu Technik und Männlichkeit und ihre Widerspiegelung in der industriellen Organisationskultur sowie Chancen und Barrieren für die Karriere von Ingenieurinnen bieten die Grundlage für die Hypothesen und die Ergebnisdarstellung zu folgenden Aspekten: Homepages der Unternehmen, Männlichkeitskultur und Minderheitensituation der Ingenieurinnen, Copingstrategien in einer Männerdomäne, männliche Überstundenkultur, Frauenkultur von Teilzeitarbeit, work-life-balance, Karriere von Ingenieurinnen, Bedeutung von Männer- und Frauennetzwerken für die Karriere. Gendertheorien dienen als Folie der theoretischen Reflexion." (Autorenreferat)

The benefits of mentoring for engineering students

Wallace, Jean E.; Haines, Valerie A.

Details
Inhalt: "The authors examined the benefits of mentoring for female and male engineering students and whether the benefits of mentoring differ depending on the sex of the mentor. Kram's framework of career development, psychosocial, and role-modeling functions was used to examine the benefits of mentoring for 1,069 engineering students. It was found that students with mentors were more socially integrated into their academic programs than students without mentors and that male mentors were more effective in this function than female mentors. Few students reported psychosocial benefits from being mentored, although female proteges reported more if they had female mentors. An unexpected finding for the role-modeling benefits was that mentored students reported less commitment to engineering careers than students without mentors. The authors close with a discussion of the implications of these findings and suggestions for future research in this area." (author's abstract)

Gender and achievement-related beliefs among engineering students

Heyman, Gail D.; Martyna, Bryn; Bhatia, Sangeeta

Details
Inhalt: "Achievement-related beliefs were examined among a group of 238 college students in engineering (38 female, 104 male) and nonengineering majors (57 female, 39 male) to understand why women enter engineering majors at a low rate and are more likely than men to leave such majors. The results indicated that (a) among the engineering majors, women were more likely than men to identify engineering aptitude as a fixed ability, a belief that was associated with a tendency to drop classes when faced with difficulty; (b) female engineering majors were more likely to perceive male and female engineering students as receiving different treatment than their male counterparts; and (c) female engineering majors tended to place more emphasis on extrinsic factors and less emphasis on intrinsic factors than female nonengineering majors, a pattern not seen among men. Implications for intervention programs are discussed." (author's abstract)

Who gets promoted? : gender differences in science and engineering academia
Autor/in:
Olson, Kristen
Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 8 (2002) No. 3-4, S. 347-362
Details
Inhalt: "Using a nationally representative sample of doctoral academic scientists and engineers, this study examines gender differences in the likelihood of having tenure and senior faculty ranks after controlling for academic age, field, doctoral origins, employing educational institution, productivity, postdoctoral positions, work activities, and family characteristics. Logistic regressions show that many of these controls are significant; that biology and employment at comprehensive universities have a gender-specific advantage for women; and that postdoctoral positions, teaching instead of doing administrative work, and having children have a gender-specific disadvantage. Although the statistical methods employed here do not reveal the exact nature of how gender inequities in science and engineering careers arise, the author suggests that they exist."

Hispanic students majoring in science or engineering : what happened in their educational journeys?
Autor/in:
Wightman Brown, Susan
Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 8 (2002) No. 2, S. 123-148
Details
Inhalt: "National statistics clearly demonstrate an under representation of minorities and women in the fields of science and engineering. Using Seidman's in-depth interviewing method, 22 Hispanic students, 12 female and 10 male, who were majoring in science or engineering were interviewed. These students were observed in their college science or engineering classes, their high school and college transcripts were analyzed, and they participated in a focus group. What made a difference in the educational journeys of these 22 students so that they could succeed - majors that have historically discouraged female and minority students? Seven themes emerged: family support, an honors program, a challenging and interactive curriculum, college preparation in high school courses, caring and kind teachers, small class sizes, and small communities. Educators must take note of these themes, which made a lasting difference in the students' futures, enabling them to choose science or engineering as their fields of study." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: "A residential summer program, the New Experiences far Women in Science and Technology (Newton) Academy, was developed to encourage high school girls' interest in the physical sciences and engineering. The goal of the Newton Academy was to increase and/or maintain interest and participation in the physical sciences among high schoolgirls. This study, part of a larger evaluation of the academy, reports the results of a follow-up of the 1998 Newton Academy participants 1 year after participation. It focuses on the participants' interests in the physical sciences and related careers as measured by the Strong Interest Inventory before and 1 year after participation. The results a/participant interviews conducted to further illuminate the findings from the quantitative data are also presented." (author's abstract)
