Where Have All the Women Gone?

Learn how Research has shown us that there is no cause for the lack of women in STEM but rather a leaky pipeline that begins before kindergarten. 

Look around you as you sit in your science classes!  Where are all the women?  Most classes are taught by males and most seats are filled with male students.  Except for biology, less than 30% of the faculty in the sciences are women.  In engineering the national average is less than 10%.  While women are more than 50% of the undergraduate population, most STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) classes – except biology – have less than 20% female students.
