About the Authors Dr. Barbara B. Lazarus is the associate provost for academic affairs and an adjunct professor of educational anthropology at Carnegie Mellon University. Recent publications include “Journeys of Women in Science and Engineering: No Universal Constants” (Temple University Press, 1997) and “The Equity Equation: Fostering the Advancement of Women in the Sciences, Mathematics and Engineering” (Jossey-Bass, 1996). Dr. Lazarus serves as a member of the Committee on Womens Studies in Asia, on the Advisory Committee of MentorNet, and as a board member of the Women in Engineering Programs and Advocates Network.

Ambrose is associate provost for educational development, director of the Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence, and a principal lecturer in the Department of History at Carnegie Mellon University. Her research interests include applying cognitive principles to education and understanding how class origin, sex, race and ethnicity, social conceptions of women, and other variables collectively influence womens life decisions and careers in engineering and science. Recent publications include “Journeys of Women in Science and Engineering: No Universal Constants” (Temple University Press, 1997) and “The New Professors Handbook” (Anker Press, 1994). Dr. Ambrose was recently honored with an American Council on Education fellowship for the 1999-2000 academic year."
