Title: Women in STEM.
Creator
Subject: Women in science.
Description: This Honors Thesis is a research project on women in STEM fields and careers. More specifically, it concerns the gender bias in STEM and how it affects women currently in or wanting to pursue careers in those areas of study. This project will be divided into three sections detailing the past, present, and future of women in STEM fields, highlighting their struggles and achievements in adversity. A short section on notable women contributors will be included in both the past and present sections of the project. By researching and analyzing past studies, surveys, and questionnaires this thesis will demonstrate a better understanding on the imbalanced ratio between women and men in STEM fields. This project will focus more in depth on American culture and research, but supplementary information concerning other cultures and research will be included when available. Statistical and empirical data as well as the aforementioned surveys and questionnaires will be included. At the end of the thesis, there will be some suggestions for encouraging women to gain an interest or staying in STEM fields. I will include my thoughts on why current methods aren’t as successful, along with some possible changes or improvements. Additionally, I will suggest a few methods of my own for encouraging young girls to pursue STEM careers., Honors Thesis Advisor : Dr. Maggie Habeeb.
