Women in Engineering:Bibliography
There is now an extensive literature in gender/diversity in the sciences and engineering. There is also some literature that addresses the intersection of engineering and the sciences with psychology/socialization. There is, however, little literature that brings these two broad focus areas together. And there is virtually no research that inquires into the ways in which group dynamics influence resistance to diversity in engineering and science disciplines
