Learn about one community college program in engineering technology in which the percentage of females retained went from zero percent in 2007 to 26% in 2012. Plus, more male students and minority students are receiving degrees and certificates as well!

In this webinar you will learn:

  • What female students need to hear from faculty to keep them on track to graduate.

  • The curriculum changes that will keep students engaged throughout the program.

  • How the layout of your lab may help or hinder the retention of female students.
