Special Project : Committee on Women in Science and Engineering

小行星9354094斯基德莫尔 在国家研究理事会科学和工程人员办公室内继续存在的妇女科学和工程委员会由专家科学家和工程师组成，他们特别了解妇女在美国技术劳动力中参与不足的情况。 该项目有助于资助委员会的活动，以实现美国本科生、研究生、博士后和专业水平的科学和工程（S E）中更多的妇女代表性。 CSWE正在继续并扩大过去三年开发的多方面活动计划，以解决女性在SE职业中代表性不足的问题。 虽然一段时间以来，人们已明显认识到妇女参与科学和工程的障碍，并认识到需要采取更全面的措施促进女科学家和女工程师的发展，但女科学家和女工程师的代表性尚未实现均等。 CWSE正在帮助解决这一问题，方法是：作为一种资源，收集和传播关于妇女在科学和工程领域的需求和机会的数据;对科学和&工程界以及整个社会施加影响，努力消除妇女参与科学和工程的障碍;鼓励有关团体之间的互动;鼓励制定创新方案，以增加妇女在科学和工程职业中的代表性。 该委员会正在为社会和企业界树立榜样，在揭示社会中妇女在这些领域的地位和机会方面发挥有效作用，并就政策和方案改革提出建议，以加强妇女对社会和企业职业的参与。 ***

9354094 Skidmore The continuing Committee on Women is Science and Engineering (CWSE), within the Office of Scientific and Engineering Personnel of the National Research Council, is comprised of expert scientists and engineers who are particularly knowledgeable about the underparticipation of women in the technological work force of the United States. This project helps to fund activities of the Committee to achieve greater representation of women in science and engineering (S&E) at undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral, and professional levels in the United States. CSWE is continuing and expanding the multifaceted program of activities developed during the past three years to address the unerrepresentation of women in S&E careers. While recognition of the barriers to participation in science and engineering by women, and of the need for more comprehensive measures to spur the development of female scientists and engineers, have been evident for some time, parity representation of female scientists and engineers has not been achieved. CWSE is helping to address this problem by: serving as a resource to collect and disseminate data on the needs of and opportunities for women in science and engineering; exerting its influence on the S&E community, and society as a whole, working toward the removal of barriers to the participation of women in the sciences and engineering; encouraging interactions between concerned groups; and stimulating development of innovative programs to increase the representation of women in scientific and engineering careers. The Committee is setting an example in the S&E community, playing an effective role in revealing the status of and the opportunities for women in these areas in society, as well as making recommendations for policy and program changes that will enhance the participation of women in S&E careers. ***
