This proposal is for a two day conference/workshop at the National Science Foundation, Washington,D.C. June 5-6, 1989. The twelve primary participants are women active in geotechnical engineering, and with the exception of a few women not attending, represent the total female Ph.D. population in geotechnical engineering in the U.S. The goals of this workshop are to: Examine the state of inequality in women representation in civil engineering in general and geotechnical in paticular, and its relationship with the general issue of women in science and engineering. Analyze the underlying factors responsible for the low degree of representation and high distribution of women at undergraduate and graduate levels in geotechnical engineering, respectively. Analyze what women are doing and what women can do to reverse this state of affairs. Bring out the unique perspective of professional women engineers successfully engaged in a wide variety of graduate teaching and research. Propose working models for federal agencies as well as academic institutions to solve the problem at hand. A report of the conference proceedings will be produced.

这项建议是为1989年6月5-6日在华盛顿特区的国家科学基金会举行的为期两天的会议/研讨会。12名主要参与者是活跃在岩土工程领域的女性，除了少数没有参加的女性外，她们代表了美国岩土工程领域的全部女性博士人口。本次研讨会的目标是：检查土木工程领域女性代表的不平等状况，特别是土木工程领域，以及它与科学和工程领域的女性这一普遍问题的关系。分析导致女性在岩土工程专业本科生和研究生中代表性程度低和分布高的潜在因素。分析女性正在做些什么，以及女性可以做些什么来扭转这种状况。带出了专业女性工程师的独特视角，成功地从事了各种各样的研究生教学和研究。为联邦机构和学术机构提出工作模式，以解决手头的问题。将编写一份会议记录报告。
