工程教育的文化分析，在一个多学科的工程机构，使用解释性的案例研究方法，暴露学科亚文化或“文化中的文化”，其中一些似乎更欢迎妇女的参与比别人。工程学科之间的文化差异，不仅在社会行为和关系的水平，但也在默认和理解的方式，重视知识，教学和学习的水平。当地女性总体参与率稳定在约20%，掩盖了女性参与各学科的持续差异，反映了国际趋势。本文认为，这些学科亚文化的研究可能会澄清这种差异参与的持久性，并导致制定新的方法来增加妇女参与工程教育。
A cultural analysis of engineering education, using an interpretive case study methodology at a multidisciplinary engineering institution, exposed disciplinary subcultures or “cultures within cultures” some of which appeared more welcoming of women’s participation than others. Cultural differences were noted between the engineering disciplines not only at the level of social behaviors and relationships, but also at the level of tacitly known and understood ways of valuing knowledge, teaching, and learning. A local plateauing of overall female participation at approximately 20% masked persistent differences in female participation by discipline, reflecting international trends. This paper suggests that a study of these disciplinary subcultures may clarify the persistence of this differential participation , and lead to the formulation of new approaches to increasing women’s participation in engineering education.
