Research on Gender in Science and Engineering (GSE)
Overview
The generally low participation of women in certain fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics is a national concern, because it limits our economic growth, competitiveness, and quality of life. The program Research on Gender in Science and Engineering (GSE) seeks to broaden participation of girls and women by supporting research, dissemination of research, and integration of proven good practices in education that will lead to a larger and more diverse domestic science and engineering workforce. Typical projects will contribute to the knowledge base addressing gender-related differences; and how pedagogical approaches and teaching styles, curriculum, student services, and institutional culture contribute to causing or closing gender gaps that persist in certain fields. Ultimately, research informing educational practice will increase the interest, knowledge, and professional involvement of girls and women in science and engineering.
