Abstract
The percentage of women in engineering programs nationally has plateaued at 20% for the past several years. In order to increase this number, many colleges have initiated women´s programs. This paper outlines the requirements for such a program, including staffing, budget, assessment, and resources for best practices. The paper also addresses differences, based on the author´s experiences, between women in engineering programs at a large, public institution and a small, private, technically-oriented institution.
