9453741 Teasdale To change the perceptions that young women have about themselves, as well as about the fields of engineering as career options, a two-week summer engineering experience for young men and women will be offered by the University of Idaho College of Engineering. The workshop will incorporate strategies to improve: the instructional climate provided by the faculty; the understanding of gender and cultural diversity issues by students, faculty, and counselors; and the self-esteem of the young women. The new strategies and approaches will be incorporated into an ongoing summer experience for high school students which has been offered for a number of years, but which previously had not been successful in attracting young women. This project will offer the first opportunity for a university experience for most of the students. They will register for a two-credit pre-engineering course, live on the University campus, attend courses and work in laboratories in University buildings, as well as use other University facilities. The college atmosphere will provide a transitional experience for the students which will be valuable when they attend college after high school graduation. It is anticipated that not only will the young women develop more positive perceptions about their abilities in math, science, and engineering, and change perceptions about engineering as a career option, but that the young men will have a better understand of diversity issues and profit from the enhanced learning environment. ***

小行星9453741 为了改变年轻女性对自己以及工程领域作为职业选择的看法，爱达荷州大学工程学院将为年轻男性和女性提供为期两周的夏季工程体验。 讲习班将纳入战略，以改善：教师提供的教学气氛;学生，教师和辅导员对性别和文化多样性问题的理解;以及年轻女性的自尊。 新的策略和方法将纳入为高中生提供的持续夏季体验中，该体验已提供多年，但以前未能成功吸引年轻女性。 该项目将为大多数学生提供第一次体验大学生活的机会。 他们将注册两个学分的工程预科课程，住在大学校园，参加课程，并在大学大楼的实验室工作，以及使用其他大学设施。 大学的氛围将为学生提供一个过渡的经验，这将是宝贵的，当他们进入大学后，高中毕业。 预计不仅年轻女性会对自己在数学，科学和工程方面的能力产生更积极的看法，并改变对工程作为职业选择的看法，而且年轻男性将更好地了解多样性问题，并从增强的学习环境中获益。 ***
