MPWG: Workshop to Improve Retention of Women Engineering Students

小行星9353774 拟议的项目是一个为期一周的研讨会，为即将入学的大一女生谁希望学习工程，并有资格参加工程图形166，在俄亥俄州州立大学的第一个工程课程。 讲习班的目标是通过向妇女提供在第一门工程课程中取得成功所需的一些技能，提高妇女在工程课程中的保留率。 讲习班定于1994年夏季举行。 预计约有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，并锻炼解决问题的能力。 会议将由女工程师和更多的高级工程专业学生帮助与会者为在工程领域取得成功做好准备。 讲习班的材料和课程计划将在1993-94学年由俄亥俄州州立大学工程制图系的成员在妇女参与工程方案和工程学院的支持下编制。 研讨会的成功将通过衡量学生在第一门工程制图课程中的表现和计算参与者的留存率来评估。 ***

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. ***
