This book represents pioneering work in teaching by scientists, mathematicians, and engineers to attract and retain women. Each chapter in this edited volume is written by a teacher who has transformed her or his course to appeal successfully to women students in particular, while retaining its appeal for male students. Specific disciplines are covered in five parts: Physics and Engineering • Chemistry • Mathematics • Computer Science • Environmental Science and Geosciences.
"Well-researched with an excellent bibliography and current statistics on the efficacy of . . . curriculum changes on concrete areas such as grades."
–The American Biology Teacher
