CMS Workshop for the Advancement and Retention of Under- represented and Minority Engineering Educators: to be held September 24-26, 1997, Washington, DC

这个土木和机械系统司研讨会的目的是鼓励保留和合格的妇女和代表性不足的少数民族工程教育工作者在追求科学和工程的挑战进步。该研讨会汇集了100名全国优秀工程教育工作者的精选小组。参与者是女性或少数民族工程教育工作者，他们基本上在终身职位上工作不到五年，或者处于博士学位的最后阶段。计划，并积极追求终身制跟踪学术职位。参与者通常受雇于教学和/或研究职位，并积极发展自己独特的土木和机械工程学科的研究计划。研讨会的主要目标是促进博士之间的技术和知识交流。该项目旨在培养在土木和机械系统领域工作的代表性不足的少数民族工程师;向参与者灌输一种他们可以在其中茁壮成长并可以做出贡献的技术社区意识;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。一个大学院长小组讨论了合理的职业期望和要求的观点，并包括有关任期，教学，研究，出版物，资金，推广和有意义的个人生活沿着工程教育工作者的职业道路的问题进行了深入的讨论。所有参与者都简要介绍了他们目前的研究兴趣，从而提高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的多样性的认识。 研讨会记录包括每个参与者的研究兴趣陈述，结果评估和研讨会建议

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
