This project provide 20-25 undergraduate women (recruited from SIUC and seven surrounding community colleges) with an intensive two-week workshop in the sciences to expose them to science career options. Sciences include mathematics, zoology, chemistry,plant ecology, geology, psychology, animal sciences, and microbiology. Activities cover such fields as molecular biology and recombinant DNA, assessing ecological integrity, gene expression after bacterial transformation, geologic hazards, and biotechnology of mammalian embryos. Two additional single day workshops and three individual mentoring sessions will follow throughout the academic year. Women scientists from industry give seminars during both the summerand academic year workshops to expand participants' perceptions of science career options. A second group of women will be recruited for the second year for a total of 40-50 participants. Measurable objectives designed to measure project effectiveness include: - The number of participants with undeclared majors who select science majors. - The number of participants who decide to become science teachers. - Of participants who do not enter a four-year college (e.g., for economic reasons), the number who enter science-oriented careers with their two-year degree. - A significantly lower drop-out rate (including change to a non-science major) than among the general population of women science majors.

该项目提供20-25名女大学生（招募 来自SIUC和周围七所社区学院）， 为期两周的科学密集讲习班， 科学职业选择科学包括数学， 动物学，化学，植物生态学，地质学，心理学，动物 科学和微生物学。活动涵盖以下领域 分子生物学和重组DNA，评估生态 完整性，细菌转化后的基因表达， 地质灾害和哺乳动物胚胎的生物技术。两 增加一天讲习班和三个人 整个学年都将举办辅导班。 来自工业界的女科学家在两次会议期间举办研讨会， 夏季和学年讲习班，以扩大参与者的 对科学职业选择的看法。第二组 第二年将征聘妇女， 40-50名参与者。 为衡量项目而设计的可衡量目标 有效性包括： - 未申报专业的参与者人数， 选择理科专业。 - 决定成为的参与者人数 科学教师 - 没有进入四年制大学的参与者 (e.g.,由于经济原因）， 以科学为导向的职业生涯与他们的两年制学位。 - 辍学率显著降低（包括 非科学专业），而不是一般的 理科女生人数。
