This is an award under the Grants for Improving Doctoral Dissertation Research program. It is a study of educational transitions in the physical sciences and engineering among women and minorities, following a life course perspective. One dataset will be an existing longitudinal survey of young people, called High School and Beyond, which tracks the life histories of 60,000 high school students interviewed at two year intervals throughout the 1980s. Another dataset will be assembled by the present investigators from a sample of entering students in a large school of engineering, and will permit closer examination of social- psychological factors that shape careers in engineering. This study will contribute to the sociology of science, gender, minorities, and careers, and it will also provide important information for deciding public policy concerning the scientific and engineering workforce. In addition to the scientific gains to be achieved by the research, this award will materially assist a highly promising student in completing research for the Ph.D. dissertation. Thus it contributes to future scientific manpower and the thorough training of the next generation of sociologists.

这是一个奖项下的赠款，以提高博士 论文研究计划。 这是一项教育研究， 妇女在物理科学和工程学方面的转变 和少数民族，从生命历程的角度来看。 一个数据集 将是一个现有的青年人纵向调查，称为 高中及以后，它跟踪了60000人的生活史， 高中生在两年的时间里接受了采访 80年代 另一个数据集将在本 调查人员从一所大学校的新生中抽取样本， 工程，并将允许更密切地审查社会- 塑造工程职业生涯的心理因素。 这项研究将有助于科学社会学， 性别，少数民族和职业，它也将提供重要的 决定有关科学和技术的公共政策的信息 和工程技术人员。 除了科学上的收获， 通过研究实现，这个奖项将在物质上帮助一个 非常有前途的学生完成博士研究。 论文 因此，它有助于未来的科学人才 以及对下一代社会学家的全面培训。
