This award supports the continued commitment by NSF and ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) to increase the number of women, minorities, and other under-represented groups entering the civil engineering professions. The requested budget is primarily for speaker travel costs to the workshop, which will be held in conjunction with the ASCE National meeting in Boston in October, 1998. Requested funds also support dissemination of conclusions. The primary objectives of the workshop are: 1) to promote discussion about the current barriers limiting under-represented groups from entering and completing engineering programs; 2) to disseminate successful practices related to retention and recruitment to a broad audience of civil engineering educators and administrators; 3) to learn from experts how to best apply retention and recruitment practices at the university level; 4) to create an environment that promotes discussion, networking, and brainstorming; and 5) to provide a forum that enables practitioners, students, faculty, and administrators to share their ideas freely.

该奖项支持NSF和ASCE（美国土木工程师协会）继续致力于增加进入土木工程专业的妇女，少数民族和其他代表性不足的群体的数量。 所要求的预算主要用于发言者参加讲习班的旅费，讲习班将与1998年10月在波士顿举行的欧安会全国会议同时举行。 所要求的资金还用于传播结论。 研讨会的主要目的是：1）促进对目前限制代表性不足的群体进入和完成工程项目的障碍的讨论; 2）向广大土木工程教育工作者和管理人员传播与保留和招聘有关的成功做法; 3）向专家学习如何在大学一级最好地应用保留和招聘做法; 4）创造一个促进讨论，网络和头脑风暴的环境; 5）提供一个论坛，使从业人员，学生，教师和管理人员能够自由分享他们的想法。
