MPWG: Girls' Opportunities in Engineering and Science (GOES)

[453683]在女性工程委员会和女性工程项目的领导下，德雷塞尔大学工程学院提议开展一项外展活动，以激励更多的女孩将工程作为一种可行的职业选择。这项推广工作将以工程教育研讨会的形式开展，名为GOES（女生在工程和科学方面的机会），对象是距离德雷塞尔大学一小时以上路程的初中和初中。在一年的资助期内，计划进行八次旅行。这项努力建立在德雷克塞尔大学成功的校园工程职业日的基础上，在那里，女孩们有机会参与实际操作的工程实验，同时与工程学院的教师和学生以及实习的女工程师进行非正式的互动。go将把“职业日”带到中学。鼓励教师和家长参与。这个干预项目是针对六年级到九年级的学前学生，帮助他们意识到工程专业提供的机会，并鼓励他们参加大学轨道数学和科学课程，为他们可能的科学和工程职业做好准备。动手实验的目的是通过实际经验来传达工程的兴奋和乐趣。该项目将根据系统评估程序的输入进行“微调”。该项目的成果将根据一项全面的传播计划在区域和全国范围内广泛分享。项目资助期结束后，go将作为工程学院外展工作的一部分制度化。大学的资源将用于维持每年至少10次的旅行。如果有额外的资金，该项目将多样化，以覆盖更年轻的学习者群体和女孩组织。* * *

9453683 Onaral Under the leadership of the Women in Engineering Committee and the Women in Engineering Program, the College of Engineering at Drexel University proposes to launch an outreach effort to motivate larger numbers of girls to consider engineering as a viable career option. The outreach effort will be in the form of an engineering education workshop called GOES (Girls Opportunities in Engineering and Science) for middle and junior high schools that are more than one hour away from Drexel University. Eight trips are scheduled during the one-year funding period. The effort builds upon Drexel's successful on-campus engineering career days where girls are given an opportunity to participate in hands-on engineering experiments while informally interacting with engineering college faculty and students, as well as practicing female engineers. GOES will take the "career day" to middle schools. Teacher and parent participation will be encouraged. This intervention program is for pre-high school students in grades 6 to 9, to help make them aware of opportunities offered by the engineering profession, and to encourage them to take college-track math and science courses which would prepare them for possible careers in science and engineering. The purpose of the hands-on laboratories is to convey the excitement and fun of engineering through practical experience. The project will be "fine-tuned" with input from a systematic evaluation procedure. Results of the project will be widely shared regionally and nationally, according to a comprehensive dissemination plan. After the project funding period, GOES will be institutionalized as part of the outreach effort of the College of Engineering. University resources will be used to maintain a minimum of 10 trips per year. If additional funds are available, the program will be diversified to reach out to populations of younger learners, and organizations for girls. ***
