[?] Findings: "women had lower self-ratings than men of their overall academic ability, mathematics ability, science ability…", women studied more than men, and women "were more likely to use tutors, advisors, engineering student organizations, and faculty for support than were men… except the equal opportunity program" (p.239); limitations: single-institutional study}, interhash = {312f10514542cfe224aedb135ad514c6}, intrahash = {9b0295a22cc615336ef406cf443e9a5c}, journal = {Higher Education}, keywords = {engineering, file-import-09-02-13, gender, persistence}, number = 2, pages = {227-246+}, posted-at = {2009-02-13 21:45:25}, priority = {2}, timestamp = {2009-02-24T19:23:09.000+0100}, title = {Engineering persistence: Past, present, and future factors and gender differences}, volume = 26, year = 1993 }
