Zustand: Very Good. : Este libro aborda la persistente baja representación de las mujeres en las carreras de STEM (ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas), identificando prácticas críticas para mejorar la contratación y retención de profesionales en estos campos. A través de diversos capítulos, se explora cómo el desarrollo de relaciones de apoyo, como la mentoría y el patrocinio, inspira a las mujeres a seguir estas trayectorias y las ayuda a alcanzar el éxito profesional.La obra analiza programas de mentoría longitudinales que abarcan desde la educación primaria hasta el profesorado universitario, incluyendo iniciativas para mujeres de color y comunidades de bajos ingresos. Al examinar la inequidad de género desde la perspectiva de los estereotipos y el sesgo, el texto ofrece enfoques de mentoría culturalmente relevantes que buscan cerrar la brecha de género y fomentar una identidad científica sólida en las nuevas generaciones de mujeres.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book offers a concise history of 25 legendary women who made significant contributions to engineering and were recognized for their work by the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) between 1952 and 1976. In addition, the book provides a backdrop of the cultural and technical advances that led up to the time they were recognized. The book includes inspiring stories of their engineering career achievements and the legacies of how these women made a difference in the world. Set against a backdrop of important cultural and technology milestones, each chapter stands on its own as a complete story of a specific legendary engineer. Viewed as a group, these 25 technological luminaries provide an important perspective about women in the engineering and computer science fields. Each section represents a five-year increment, beginning with a setting-the-stage discussion, followed by the stories of the five engineers who were recognized during those years, which can also be read independently.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - With the stagnant low percentages of women in STEM careers, identifying practices to satisfy the growing need for professionals in those fields is critical to improve recruitment and retention. Supportive relationships, like mentors and sponsors, have been shown to both inspire women to pursue those careers and to help them succeed in them. This book explores how developing supportive connections helps students, faculty, and teachers see STEM professions as being a place for women to grow and succeed. Early chapters provide essential mentor characteristics and explore engineering education gender inequity from a teacher's perspective of stereotypes, stereotype threat, and bias, offering culturally relevant teacher mentoring approaches to promote equitable pre-college engineering education. Middle chapters describe K-12 mentoring programs: mentorship initiatives empowering young South African Women and girls to advance to mathematical-related careers; programs, methods and activities to achieve the desired goal of making young students aspire to become scientists; and engagement year-round in grades 9-12 combined with 40 years of iterative evaluation created a finely-honed enrichment program for low-income Black women in urban public high schools. A longitudinal undergraduate mentoring program for mentoring early college students in Louisiana provides further insights in that section. The final four-chapter section describes mentoring programs for professors and teachers: reciprocal mentor relationships and role shifting within an informal peer mentoring group; differences between mentoring relationships and sponsoring relationships within academia; the impact of culturally responsive mentorship (CRM) on the development and expression of a pre-service teacher's woman of science identity; and a program that aims to recruit and retain STEM pre-service teachers and STEM teachers of color. With several longitudinal mentoring programs, several programs for women of color, this book fills a gap to help grow the numbers of women in STEM.…
