Tackling the Engineering Resources Shortage: Creating New Paradigms for Developing and Retaining Women Engineers is a conference that brings together practicing engineers, managers, policy makers, and educators to look at the retention of women in engineering as an educational-to-career spanning continuum. The conference, July 14-18, 1998, at Club Tremblant near Montreal, aims to achieve long-range retention, development, and success at the professional level. The objectives are: to present and compare best practices and research findings related to retention at all levels; to identify institutional and cultural barriers to the better retention of women engineers; to identify common interests and areas for active collaboration and institutional change; to identify and develop model programs for dissemination; to create and promote new strategies and collaborations for participating institutions, and to set a research agenda. The conference makes a significant contribution to the advancement of knowledge by bringing together engineering professionals in industry and education who are in the position to influence or implement effective strategies and policies affecting long-term retention, but who are not necessarily familiar with the existing research, literature, and practice outside of their company or institutions. Planning and the conference itself are designed as iterative, collaborative processes to insure that academic and industry voices and institutional requirements for change and deliberation are addressed. A professional evaluation of the conference and conference outcomes will be undertaken. Conferees will be in a unique position to actively disseminate conference results as well as act on them. Participants will commit to return to their respective organizations with action plans for internal change as well as for partnerships across organizations. Conference proceedings will be published and widely disseminated to industry and universities.

解决工程资源短缺：为发展和留住女性工程师创造新的范例是一个会议，汇集了执业工程师，管理人员，政策制定者和教育工作者，将女性在工程中的保留视为教育到职业跨越连续体。 会议于1998年7月14日至18日在蒙特利尔附近的Tremblant俱乐部举行，旨在实现专业水平的长期保留，发展和成功。 其目标是：提出并比较与各级留住人才有关的最佳做法和研究成果;查明更好地留住女工程师的体制和文化障碍;查明共同利益和积极合作和体制改革的领域;查明并制定示范方案供传播;为参与机构制定和促进新的战略和合作，并制定研究议程。 该会议通过汇集工业和教育领域的工程专业人士，为知识的进步做出了重大贡献，他们能够影响或实施影响长期保留的有效战略和政策，但不一定熟悉现有的研究，文献和他们公司或机构之外的实践。 规划和会议本身被设计为迭代的协作过程，以确保学术和行业的声音以及变革和审议的机构要求得到解决。 将对会议和会议成果进行专业评价。 与会者将处于一个独特的地位，积极传播会议成果，以及对他们采取行动。 与会者将承诺带着内部变革和跨组织伙伴关系的行动计划返回各自组织。 会议记录将出版并广泛分发给工业界和大学。
