The Journal of Engineering Education is the premiere journal that publishes engineering education research in the US, and some argue globally.\u00a0 Yet the research it publishes on gender in engineering seems to be theoretically impoverished.\u00a0 This study explores characterizing the gender-related research published in\u00a0the\u00a0Journal of Engineering Education\u00a0selected from 1998-2012 to explore how researchers publishing in\u00a0JEE\u00a0study and publish on the topic of gender.<\/p>\n

Goals: <\/strong>The goal is to explore the differences in how engineers write about\u00a0gender in comparison with sociologists and other social theorists who use gender theory in order to better understand men\u2019s overrepresentation in engineering (and other gendered disciplines).<\/p>\n

Research Questions:<\/strong> How do authors write about gender in JEE?\u00a0 How does this compare to existing gender theory prevalent in the social sciences? How can gender theory from sociology and women\u2019s studies be used to understand\u00a0gendered disciplines like engineering and men\u2019s overrepresentation?<\/p>\n

Methods: <\/strong>This project used papers drawn from the 1998-2012 issues of the\u00a0Journal of Engineering Education, (the premiere engineering education research journal) as qualitative data.\u00a0 These data are analyzed at different levels of analysis (sentence, paragraph, paper, title) through qualitative emergent coding.<\/p>\n
