Increasing the Representation of Women in Engineering
by Margaret B. Bailey, Ph.D., P.E.
Representation of women role models within engineering colleges is important in attracting women to the field in order to establish a critical mass of practicing women engineers. While some engineering fields have seen dramatic increases in the number of women engineers, female engineers currently comprise only 14.5% of the U.S. engineering workforce, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Some may wonder why this low representation of women within engineering is an issue. This line of thought leads to an even more significant question: do we as Americans understand how the engineering profession impacts society? According to the National Academy of Engineering, "The public largely misunderstands engineering and under-appreciates its impact on our society and quality of life. Moreover, most citizens do not comprehend the complex interactions between society and technology that are fundamental to many of our nation's economic and social policy options."
Through understanding the relationship between engineering and society we can begin to recognize the need for the engineering population demographic to mirror that of the society it serves. In the past, the intellectual capital that women possess within the United States has not been effectively utilized within the engineering enterprise. But how would a demographic shift in engineering influence the engineered solutions and public policy of the future? And what amount of shift are we talking about? Answers to the first question vary but many share grounding in generalizations that I often hear as a woman engineer, most notably concerning our collaborative and reflective natures, strong teamwork abilities, multi-tasking expertise, and heightened social conscientiousness. As for how large of a demographic shift is required, women need to achieve a critical mass within engineering populations, requiring a doubling of current engineering representation to around 30%. To accomplish this goal, gender diversity efforts need to broaden and become more effective in order to increase knowledge of and enthusiasm for engineering among the target population.
For example, five years ago RIT's Kate Gleason College of Engineering created the Kate Gleason Endowed Chair position which allowed a faculty member to focus on gender diversity issues within engineering. As a result, a successful women-in-engineering organization called WE@RIT was formed which builds community among women engineering students while providing pre-engineering outreach programs to middle and high school female students. Last year the programs offered through WE@RIT reached over 1,500 K-12 students and educators while engaging 175 volunteers. The majority of the volunteers were women engineering students who are uniquely well-suited to communicate their enthusiasm regarding engineering and its strong societal relevance to a younger audience of women and girls. Pre-engineering outreach programs begin for girls as young as 4th grade with a two-week summer camp experience, and follow-on programming targets females in each year level through 12th grade. The college has subsequently experienced a steady increase in the number of first-year women engineering students over the same time interval.
Doubling the representation of women engineers within our country is a complex problem which requires a multi-faceted, long-range strategy. However, individuals can make a difference by encouraging girls and young women to learn more about how engineering impacts society. If there is an interest, encourage participation in a pre-engineering outreach program like those offered by WE@RIT (http://www.rit.edu/~women/) and many other colleges of engineering throughout the country.

Keith has been a medium ever since he can remember.
His spirit Guardian, Allura leads him in his quest to help ghosts move to the afterlife. Only that he´d prefer not to help her.
While his Reputation becomes a burden in his daily life, he tries very Little to fulfill his Job accordingly. However, being aquintainces with the head of the police, he is quite used to crime Scenes and corpses.
But what happens when a ghost appears who does not seem to have a corpse. How come, he is yet to be missed? More so, since the ghost in Question Claims to be unaware of his corpse´s whereabouts?
It should be an easy quest. However, to Keith it is not. More so, since along the way, he discovers what truly happened during the accident three years ago. And suddenly, the quirky ghost at his side becomes the Person he feels for the most.
After Shiro's disappearance, Pidge decides to take action. This begins with a questionable decision of faking Lance's death as he infiltrates the Galra military. Admittedly, Pidge slightly underestimated how his disappearance would effect already low moral. She also didn't expect Keith to not only find out, but follow Lance there leaving them with only 2 working lions. Meanwhile Lance tries his best to become James Bond but instead gets involved in a political plot that's more complicated than he and Pidge imagined.
On the bright-side, he's sending back some fantastic insider information. Pidge just needs to get it to Allura without admitting that she, you know, launched Lance into a coup de tat without any backup.
that melody that he always hummed made him feel warm but at the same time it made him feel sad, like a hole in his heart that was still healing little by little. The melody of the person he once called brother.
Lance and Allura have been dating for years now. They're the perfect couple for everyone who knows them. But when two new students, Keith and Shiro move to their university, things will change. A lot.
It's Christmas, and Lance is alone.
It's Christmas, and Lance can't go home.
It's Christmas, and Lance wants to die.


After all the rain we have had, the flowers are so pretty in our yard. I felt compelled to wander through the yard and take pictures of all the beautiful flowers.
My pretty red geraniums, always so pretty and bright !!!
Tha potted pansies are still looking good, despite some mid 80 days !!
This next rose is just so beautiful and the pictures do not do justice to the color. it is a dusty pink , but a unusual dusty pink. After almost dying a few years ago when we had an extreme winter and summer, the roses came back very tiny. This year they are bigger, but I am not sure if they will ever be the big roses they once were !! The color did not change , however. They are my favorite rose of all time.
I love the vibrant colors of the dianthus , never hard to see from across the yard !!
My husband loves these single roses, tea roses I think they are called. I really do not care for them, as to me they look like half is missing. I still think the color is good and could not resist this picture with the small bug on the rose !!
Our Iris did not bloom as much as usual, this is the last one, but most of our iris plants did not bloom at all. Very odd for our plants. Usually we get a ton of iris blooms !!
I am a huge fan of snapdragons and love the pinks the most. Such pretty little things and the grand kids love making them talk !!!
We have more rain coming through later this week, I am thrilled as they plants are all loving it !! I collected some rain water for my few house plants and I am sure they appreciated it !!!
Not much is going on regarding the house, kitchen is still on hold for now. We hope to finish it up in the next couple of months, and that will be a huge relief !!We are all very tired of the half done kitchen !!!

I love spring time. I love all the pretty flowers, the trees coming back to life and the promise of a lovely new season.
I took a lot of pictures this past couple of weeks and thought I would share them with you today !!!
the top one is our stunning whisteria. It grows more each year and we love it !!! It is an out growth of a now gone really old whisteria bush/ tree that was here when we moved here, but eventually died off over the last few years. No idea how old it is, but we are lucky to have this big off shoot in the place the old was was located, a baby one started, several in fact. My husband braided them together and they are growing into a lovely small tree/ bush like the parent was. I will show it later in the post.
This rose was a huge rose, but over the heat of a bad summer the bush almost died , this is when we rented out the house to our kids. I was not there to baby it and it did come back, but as a much smaller bush. By that I mean, smaller leaves and smaller flowers. Still the same stunning color I fell in love with, but so small now !!
this iris bed was planted well before we bought the house in 2002 . We decided it is time, after they bloom, so break it up and plant a few more things, as it got a bit overgrown and we noticed a section in the center never came back.
the mocking birds have been extremely active this year and I have captured some amazing pictures of them this week !!
our Oklahoma red bud in full bloom a couple of weeks ago.
shots of the yard from the top of our new 17 foot ladder. I had my hubby take them as you will get me up on that tall ladder !!!
I love how he got the roof and the front yard and our picket. You can see I still have a couple of repaired panels to paint on the inside !!
My husbands old truck, Mater, the kids named it that as it used to be rusty, sits in what we call the back lot until he can get the time to do the repair he needs. The kids swing set is next to him but needs some major shoring up. The back lot is very overgrown and needs a mow badly !!
the side of the yard, between the picket and six foot, is stuff we need to get rid of, and some stuff we are going to do something with, branches, old wood, and some neat old chain link gates and a metal bench there are plans to use. We have a lot to do in t his yard. Note the three spindles as you walk into the back lot. Got them free, not sure what we are going to do with them at his point !!
a shot of the iris bed we are goign to thin out. There are more iris under the big wisteria vine on the fence, they are yellow and do not bloom much so we want to move them to a better location as well. This shot was taken before they started to bloom a few weeks ago !!
some of our potted plants. Many are gifts that I have had a few years, some are new plants we just potted !!
I took this Easter weekend. Two of our grandaughters were checking out the whisteria and I got some cute shots of them before they caught me and started posing !!
our flowerbed in front of the back lot !!This was taken when we planted it a couple of weeks ago. I will take an update this week, they have all grown already !!
Well, time to get moving !!
I just wanted to s hare some of my spring pictures here !!

I will be posting a lot more as we work on our house this summer. But spring is here and I wanted to share some pretty pictures from our yards. Front and back !!
I do not know what kind of iris this top one is, but after thirteen years they have really spread out and are so pretty !! We have a lot of purple as well, but this dusty pink is just so pretty !!
we purchased some new rose bushes to plant and this is one of them , a pretty yellow rose !!
the iris bed , very wild, and a lot of baby trees. After they are done blooming and the flowers die down, we will pull them and everything else out of this flower bed and move the iris around the yard. We have some yellow in different parts of the yard and we will plant them around some of the trees in the front yard and our light in the front yard, just leaving a few in this flower bed so they have room to spread out, they are very crowded now !! We plan to make the flower bed smaller as well.
Our wisteria were stunning this year. They are almost bloomed out now, but were just stunning a few weeks ago. Of course I took a million pictures , so I will share a few below this picture !!
We had to tame it a bit and my husband wired it to the fence to keep it off our neighbors roof and from going under the eves of her garage !!
this is our wisteria from thirteen years ago. It was very old and finally we lost it a few years ago. The new one on the fence is a baby from a runner off this orginal, but even better is the new one that just started a year ago in almost the same place as the old one. So, David put a decorative ring around it and we are hoping one day it will be as big as the original. We are thrilled it lives on in the new vines. Our house was pink, the fence was six foot, and there was no fence around the outside of the property, and the car port was open. Now it has a gate, and lattice, the inside fence is a picket and there is a six foot on the outside edge of the property !! Things have changed a lot in thirteen years !!
there is another baby next to it, so we are letting them both grow. The bigger one is actually three vines that David wove together and tied with plant tape. We are going to take very good care of it and one day we hope to have another beautiful big wisteria tree / bush like we used to !!
I love our rose bush in the front yard. We let it go wild until it finishes blooming and then David cuts it way back for the year, shaping it and keeping it trimmed. It only blooms the one time, but the scent of the pretty and dainty roses is worth waiting for , they are just stunning !!
this is my favorite stage, in between bud and fully bloomed.
this is how small they are. My hands are not that big, and average womans hand, so they are pretty tiny.
I do not care as much for the fully bloomed flowers, but they are still pretty. A wonderful display over our front gate every spring !!! It will bloom for couple weeks.
So, spring is sprung here and I am enjoying every minute of it. We will be doing a lot of projects this spring and summer I will share. Repairing our picket fence, repairing our front porch, almost rebuilding it, putting in a shower in the front bath, new carpet and paint in parts of the house. We have a very long list as well as a lot of stuff in the yards. Plants to put in, and plants to come out. I am really looking forward to the changes to come and look forward to sharing them with you !!

I thought it would be fun to show how the house looked when we first bought it , these were taken two years after, and show how different it was, pink no detail painted, the front trim was all pink, except for the squares. YOu can see in the currrent pictures how we painted the big white board and molding accross the front and under the eaves, bright white, which really made the house prettier !!
The back porch taken a year earlier and again, that large board on the back is painted the same color as the house !! We also still had a really ugly storm door and one of those really old doors with the diamond shaped window in it, not like the pretty door we have now in back !! The new door, well, over five years ago new, was a result of getting locked out of the house by a tricky door lock and having to kick the door in, which I have never regreted as we would probably still have that ugly door, lol !!! And yes, I kicked the door in, which is not as impressive as it sounds as we found only two large nails held the entire door frame in, so we were fairly horrified !
look how small the crepe myrtles were eleven years ago and how much nicer the picket was although it was already showing signs of decay even then . We took off the metal awnings to let light into the house, which helped a lot.
this was earlier this year, they are even bigger and prettier now !! they go above the wires now, which means we will have to trim them this winter so the city does not next spring !! The second picture was taken yesterday !
We hated that door and love the one we have now with the windows on top !! Brown carpet and brown paint, with the celing painted the same color, makes a cave, will never do that again !!
this is the back family room, we have a full formal living room up front, that is the big window in the front of the house, next to the porch !!
the room is a lot different but still has some of the same items, the hat rack is down but will re hung next to the tv behind the door, the new tv is much taller and it was hidden behind it, so that is going to be back up and I have a picture to hang above the tv with all the colors of the room, purple, sage green and nuetrals and we will be painting it purple soon , a pretty rich color. For those observant people, it is a huge bottle of bubbles for the grandkids, that somehow just got left there !! The room is much brighter with the brown paint off the walls and ceilings, and we will paint a pretty shade of purple mauve and repaint the ceiling a bright white, it is a tan now, which was just a top coat to cover the cave like brown.
Well, that is all for now, kind of a rambling before and after post. I hope to share many more projects for this ninety year old house !! We have a lot to do on it !!

Our back porch was a mess, so bad I forgot to even take pictures, but this was from a few weeks ago and you can see the mess we had going on !!
We had a big table on the porch that had four old blue folding chairs around it, we put them away and made two small seating areas instead !! IT was nice to get it all cleaned up and pretty again !!
table spool from work , benches from a yard sale cheap !!
cute wire teapot and cups all around the porch !
a coffee pot too !!
it is a pleasure to spend time on our back porch now, we still want to get some nicer furniture for it, but for now, it is nice and neat and clean !!
