What satisfactions do women experience, what obstacles do they face? How can we attract women and girls to STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and integrate and retain them once they've arrived?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Realities of Women in Engineering: Joys, Challenges, and Solutions\u003c\/i\u003e answers these questions by presenting the methods and results of an in-depth research project, one step at a time. The book 1) contextualizes the issues, reviews the literature, and explains the project's research methods; 2) synthesizes the project's findings on the joys and motivations - as well as the challenges and difficulties - experienced by each group of women interviewed (women working in engineering, including female engineering professors and engineering\/STEM students); 3) reveals the findings that emerged from interviews with human resources specialists, Indigenous women, and women from immigrant backgrounds, including findings about equities and inequities experienced or perceived in the world of engineering and STEM; 4) exposes different perceptions of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI), women's perceptions of their contribution to engineering, and the perspectives of men in engineering (to nuance the results); 5) offers strategies and solutions in education, business, and society, including mentorship; and 6) distills recommendations in two competency frameworks and a practical model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe varied and complementary expertise of the project's coresearchers and their collaborators produces original and innovative reflections on the realities of women in STEM.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWith the collaboration of Jennifer Petrela, Marie Eva Andriantsara, Jessica Bélisle, Cristina Guzman, Jessie Morin and Morgane Vandel\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Gagné,Louise Lafortune\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2897997842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782897997847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amazon Digital Services LLC - Kdp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.87d","brand":"Diane Gagné","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800765804799,"sku":"9782897997847","price":32.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-are-the-realities-of-diane-gagnzs-9782897997847","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
