CMS-9908066HastingsThis 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 120 of the nation's outstanding engineering educators. Participants are women or minority engineering educators who essentially have been 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, mechanical, bioengineering and environmental 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 these areas; 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 indepth 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 interest, thus increasing fellow participants' awareness of the diversity of related opportunities for involvement in civil, mechanical and bio-environmental engineering research areas. The workshop proceedings include research interest statements from each participant, the outcome assessments, and workshop recommendations.

CMS-9908066 HastingsThis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120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，他们基本上已经担任终身职位不到五年，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研究计划，在土木，机械，生物工程和环境工程学科。研讨会的主要目标是促进在这些领域工作的博士水平代表性不足的工程师和少数族裔工程师之间的技术和知识交流;向参与者灌输技术社区的意识，他们可以在其中蓬勃发展并为之做出贡献;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合理的职业期望和要求，并深入讨论了与终身教职、教学、研究、出版物、资金、外展和沿着工程教育工作者的职业道路有意义的个人生活有关的问题。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，机械和生物环境工程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，成果评估和研讨会建议。
