This book depicts the many issues women faculty in science and engineering face, and gives solutions that can be widely accepted at academic institutions around the U.S. Drawing on the expertise of scientists and engineers, social scientists and specialists in organizational behavior, and university administrators, this is the first collection to describe the variety of innovative efforts academic institutions around the country have undertaken. From focusing on how to foster women's academic success in small teaching institutions, to how to use interactive theater to promote faculty reflection about departmental culture, to how a particular department created and maintained a healthy climate for women's scientific success, the essays in ""Transforming Science and Engineering"" illustrate that creating work environments that sustain and advance women scientists and engineers benefit women, men, and underrepresented minorities.
