Subseries documents "Critical Turning Points: Women Engineers Within and Outside the Profession," a study funded by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) strategic grant. The study was broken up into four projects: "Women in Engineering: A Historical Overview," a project based on analyzing statistical and demographic data to establish a statistical profile of women in engineering; "The Explorers: Early Women Engineers," a project based on conducting oral histories and examining archival material to establish the reasons for early engineers choosing their careers; "Women's Exit from Engineering Studies, a project based on using semi-structured interviews to analyze reasons for women departing from their degree programs; and "Women's Exit from the Engineering Profession," a project based on open-ended unstructured interviews of former male and female engineers to analyze their reasons for leaving the profession. Ainley was a co-investigator on the study, along with the principal investigator, Peta Tancred, and co-investigators Susan Whitesides and Gillian Rejskind, and was involved in all the projects, except, "Women's Exit from Engineering Studies." Subseries consists of audio tapes and transcripts from interviews with female engineers, questionnaires from a project on Queen's University female engineering graduates by Alison Bowe, research notes, articles, conference proceedings, brochures and correspondence.
File consists of academic and non-academic articles by Peta Tancred and others; a draft manuscript by Ainley, entitled, "Feminist Perspectives on Women, Science and Engineering in Canada"; correspondence; a description of the context of the interviews and research project conducted at Queen's University by Alison Bowe on female graduates of engineering; and a report from Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) about the task force on women in the sciences and engineering.
File consists of a report by the Canadian Committee on Women in Engineering, entitled, "More Than Just Numbers" with correspondence, notes and other material inserted; a report, entitled, "Alberta Women in science and Technology"; proceedings from the Committee on Institutional Cooperation's 1992 conference on women in science and engineering, entitled, "Advancing Women in Science, Engineering, and Mathematics" with articles and other material inserted; a booklet by the Commission on Women from the University of Minnesota, entitled, "Mentoring for the 1990s and Beyond...: new perspectives on an old way to move ahead"; and an information pamphlet on women in the sciences from the University of Minnesota.
File consists of correspondence relating to questions to be asked to interview participants; requests for information about women engineers; and other material providing background information on the demographics of engineering from professional and university alumni associations.
File consists of reports and articles with demographic information about women in engineering and recommendations for increasing the amount of women in engineering.
