Workshop for the Advancement and Retention of Underrepresented and Minority Engineering Educators

提案编号0129530 PI：该项目支持一个研讨会，旨在鼓励保留和提高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。 该研讨会将汇集一个由80名全国优秀的工程教育工作者组成的精选小组，他们主要是在终身职位上工作不到五年或在博士学位的最后一年。计划，并积极追求终身制跟踪学术职位。 参与者将被雇用在教学和/或研究职位，并积极发展自己独特的研究计划。具体的工作坊的目标是：I）促进博士之间的技术和知识交流。第二，向参与者灌输一个技术社区的意识，在这个社区中，他们可以茁壮成长，他们可以做出贡献;和第三，增加参与者对研究和资助机会的认识。 该研讨会将包括十个正式会议，为期三天，强调研究和教育介绍的整合，这些介绍来自NSF，ARO，AFOSR，ONR，DARPA和NASA等机构的资助机会。 一个由大学院长组成的小组将讨论他们对合理职业期望和要求的看法，包括讨论与终身教职、教学、研究、出版物、资金、外联和工程教育者职业道路上有价值的个人生活沿着有关的问题。研讨会将总结工作会议讨论的建议，提供研讨会成果评估和建议声明，并包括两页的摘要，从每个参与者，描述他们的研究兴趣。设想的意义和利益的讲习班是增加保留妇女和代表性不足的少数民族工程师作为积极的研究人员和教育工作者和发展的基础设施的同事是同一领域，是一个丰富的多样性。

Proposal No.#0129530PI: Hastings, MardiThis project supports a workshop that is designed to encourage retention and advancement of qualified women and underrepresented minority-engineering educators in pursuit of scientific and engineering challenges. The workshop will bring together a select group of 80 of the nation's outstanding engineering educators who predominately have been in tenure track positions for less than five years or are in jthelast year of their Ph.D. program and actively pursuing tenure track academic positions. The participants will be employed in teaching and/or research positions and actively developing their own unique research programs.Specific workshop goals are to:I) foster technical and intellectual exchange among Ph.D. level, underrepresented and minority engineers who are or desire to be engineering educators;II) instill in its participants the sense of a technical community in which they can thrive and to which they can contribute; andIII) increase participant awareness of research and funding opportunities. The workshop will consist of ten formal sessions spread over a three-day period emphasize the integration of research and education presentations on funding opportunities from agencies such as NSF, ARO, AFOSR, ONR, DARPA, and NASA. A panel of university deans will discuss their perspectives on reasonable career expectations and demands, include the discussion of issues related to tenure, teaching, research, publications, funding, outreach and a rewarding personal life along the career path of an engineering educator.The workshop proceeding will summarize the recommendations from the working session discussions, provide a workshop outcomes ass4esment and recommendations statement, and include a two page abstract from each participant that describes their research interest.The envisioned significance and benefits of the workshop are the increased retention of women and underrepresented minority engineers as active researchers and educators and development of infrastructures of colleagues is the same field that is a rich diversity.
