9353774 Fentiman The proposed project is a one-week workshop for incoming freshman women who expect to study engineering, and are qualified to enroll in Engineering Graphics 166, the first engineering course at The Ohio state University. The goal of the workshop is to improve retention of women in the engineering program by offering them some skills needed to succeed in their first engineering course. The workshop is to be be conducted in the summer of 1994. Approximately 30 women are expected to participate. Experiences planned for the workshop will help students to develop visualization skills, become familiar with engineering terminology, and exercise problem solving skills. Meetings will women engineers and more senior engineering students will help participants prepare for success in engineering. Materials and lesson plans for the workshop will be developed during the 1993-94 academic year by members of the Ohio State University Engineering Graphics faculty with the support of the women in Engineering Program and the College of Engineering. Success of the workshop will be assessed by measuring the student's performance in their first engineering graphics course and calculating the retention rate for participants. ***

9353774 Fentiman提议的项目是一个为期一周的研讨会，面向那些希望学习工程学并有资格报名参加俄亥俄州立大学第一门工程课程--工程制图166的新生女性。该讲习班的目标是通过向女性提供在第一门工程课程中取得成功所需的一些技能，提高她们在工程课程中的留存率。讲习班将于1994年夏天举行。预计将有大约30名妇女参加。为研讨会计划的经验将帮助学生发展可视化技能，熟悉工程术语，并练习解决问题的技能。会议将帮助女性工程师和更多的高级工程专业学生为工程专业的成功做好准备。该研讨会的材料和教案将在1993-94学年由俄亥俄州立大学工程制图学院的成员在工程妇女方案和工程学院的支持下制定。工作坊的成功将通过衡量学生在他们的第一门工程制图课程中的表现和计算参与者的保留率来评估。***
