This Civil and Mechanical Systems Division workshop is designed to encourage retention and advancement of qualified women and underrepresented minority engineering educators in pursuit of scientific and engineering challenges. The workshop brings together a select group of 100 of the nation's outstanding engineering educators. Participants are women or minority engineering educators who essentially have been in tenure track positions for less than five years, or are in the final phases of their Ph.D. program and actively pursuing tenure track academic positions. The participants are usually employed in teaching and /or research positions and are actively developing their own unique research programs in civil and mechanical engineering disciplines. The major goals of the workshop are to foster technical and intellectual exchange among Ph.D. level underrepresented and minority engineers who work in the area of civil and mechanical systems; to instill in its participants, the sense of a technical community in which they can thrive and to which they can contribute; and to increase participant awareness of research and funding opportunities. The workshop emphasizes an integration of research and education. A panel of university deans discusses perspectives on reasonable career expectations and demands, and includes an in-depth discussion of issues related to tenure, teaching, research, publications, funding, outreach and a rewarding personal life along the career path of an engineering educator. All participants give a brief summary of their current research interests, thus increasing fellow participants' awareness of the diversity of related opportunities for involvement in civil and mechanical systems research areas. The workshop proceedings include research interest statements from each participant, the outcome assessments, and workshop recommendations

土木和机械系统司讲习班旨在鼓励留住和提升合格的妇女和代表性不足的少数民族工程教育工作者，以追求科学和工程挑战。该研讨会汇集了100名全国杰出的工程教育工作者。参与者是女性或少数族裔工程教育工作者，她们基本上担任终身教职不到五年，或者正处于博士课程的最后阶段，正在积极追求终身教职。参与者通常从事教学和/或研究工作，并在土木和机械工程学科中积极发展自己独特的研究项目。研讨会的主要目标是促进在土木和机械系统领域工作的博士级和少数族裔工程师之间的技术和知识交流；向参与者灌输一种技术社区的意识，他们可以在其中茁壮成长，并为之做出贡献；并提高参与者对研究和资助机会的认识。讲习班强调研究与教育的结合。一个由大学院长组成的小组讨论了对合理职业期望和需求的看法，并深入讨论了与终身教职、教学、研究、出版、资金、推广以及工程教育工作者职业道路上有益的个人生活有关的问题。所有参与者都简要总结了他们目前的研究兴趣，从而增加了其他参与者对参与土木和机械系统研究领域的相关机会多样性的认识。会议记录包括每位参与者的研究兴趣陈述、结果评估和研讨会建议
