美国政府呼吁更多的STEM专业人士，以保持国家的竞争力。妇女和少数群体更多地参与这些领域，将体现她们丰富多样的生活经历和贡献。许多研究探讨了妇女或少数民族的这些问题，但很少考虑性别和种族的交叉问题。近年来进行了一些定量研究，试图了解女性离开工程领域的原因。但是，他们缺乏在种族和性别的交叉点上的丰富描述，这是理解离开工程行业的动力所必需的。身份理论是一个理论框架，用于理解工程行业文化如何与这些女性如何看待自己以及感觉自己属于或不属于工程行业相适应。身份认同理论可以说明黑人妇女作为工程师赋予自己的意义，以及她们如何根据对地位差异、合法性和稳定性的解释来谈判她们在工程领域的感知成员资格。本文介绍了数据收集方法、分析过程和初步研究结果。
The U.S. government has called for more STEM professionals in order to remain competitive as a nation. Increased participation of women and minorities in these fields will capture the rich diversity of their lived experiences and contributions. Many studies examine these issues for women or minorities, but less frequently consider the intersection of gender and race. There have been quantitative studies conducted in recent years that attempt to capture why women leave engineering. However, they lack the rich description at the intersection of race and gender necessary to understand the impetus to leave engineering industry. Identity theory is the theoretical framework utilized for understanding how engineering industry culture fits with how these women see themselves and feel like they belong or do not belong in engineering. Identity theory can illustrate the meanings that Black women attribute to themselves as engineers and how they negotiate their perceived membership in engineering based on interpretations of status differences, legitimacy and stability of those status differences. This paper presents insight in to methods of data collection, analysis process, and preliminary research results.
