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

提案编号0129530PI：Hastings，Mardi该项目支持一个讲习班，该讲习班旨在鼓励留住和提升合格的妇女和代表不足的少数族裔工程教育工作者，以应对科学和工程挑战。研讨会将汇集美国80名杰出的工程教育工作者，他们大多在终身教职轨道上任职不到五年，或在博士课程的最后一年，积极寻求终身教职学术职位。研讨会的具体目标是：i)促进博士水平、代表性不足和希望成为工程教育工作者的少数族裔工程师之间的技术和智力交流；ii)向参与者灌输一种技术社区的意识，使他们能够在其中茁壮成长并为之做出贡献；iii)提高参与者对研究和资助机会的认识。研讨会将由十个正式会议组成，为期三天，重点是将研究和教育演示整合在一起，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的职业期望和要求的看法，包括与终身教职、教学、研究、出版物、资金、拓展和工程教育者职业道路上有价值的个人生活有关的问题的讨论。研讨会的进程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，并包括每个参与者的两页摘要，描述他们的研究兴趣。研讨会的预期意义和好处是增加女性和代表性不足的少数族裔工程师作为积极的研究人员和教育工作者的留存，以及同事基础设施的发展是丰富的多样性的同一领域。

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.
