要約

This article discusses women's unequal access to certain types of cultural capital and the role that this plays in their participation in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) undergraduate programs. We utilize ethnographic data from our three-year study of four undergraduate engineering programs in the state of Florida to analyze women's experiences on two portions of the pathway to an undergraduate STEM degree: women's experiences prior to college, when students are developing an interest in engineering, and their experiences during their undergraduate years. Our analysis indicates that women's limited access to certain types of cultural capital negatively impacts their early interest and knowledge of STEM fields, as well as their success during the undergraduate years. The voices of students and the viewpoints of their professors and school administrators are used to support this argument. We suggest two interventions: specific programs targeted to girls and young women and high quality mentoring.
