Women in Geotechnical Engineering - Issues and Prospects

该提案将在华盛顿特区的国家科学基金会举行为期两天的会议/研讨会1989年6月5日至6日。12位主要参与者是活跃在岩土工程领域的女性，除了少数未参加的女性外，她们代表了美国岩土工程领域的女性博士总数。审查妇女在土木工程、特别是岩土工程领域任职的不平等状况，及其与妇女在科学和工程领域任职的一般问题的关系。分析导致岩土工程本科和研究生阶段女性比例低和比例高的潜在因素。分析一下女性在做什么，以及女性能做些什么来扭转这种状况。带出专业女性工程师成功从事各种研究生教学和研究的独特视角。为联邦机构和学术机构提出解决手头问题的工作模式。将编写一份会议记录报告。

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.
