Special Project : Committee on Women in Science and Engineering

9354094斯基德莫尔国家研究理事会科学和工程人员办公室内的妇女科学和工程问题持续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工作队伍中参与度低的问题。该项目帮助资助该委员会的活动，以便在美国的本科生、研究生、博士后和专业人员中实现更多的女性在科学和工程(S和E；E)中的代表性。CSWE正在继续并扩大在过去三年中制定的多方面活动计划，以解决女性在S职业生涯中代表性不足的问题。虽然一段时间以来，人们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来促进女科学家和女工程师的发展，但尚未实现女科学家和女工程师的平等代表性。世界妇女联合会通过以下方式帮助解决这一问题：作为收集和传播女性在科学和工程领域的需求和机会的数据的资源；对S社区和整个社会施加影响，努力消除女性参与科学和工程领域的障碍；鼓励相关群体之间的互动；以及促进创新项目的发展，以增加女性在科学和工程职业中的代表性。该委员会在S公司社区中树立了榜样，在揭示这些领域妇女在社会中的地位和机会方面发挥了有效作用，并就政策和计划改革提出建议，以促进妇女参与S公司的职业生涯。***

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. ***
