EIA-0204316 Llewllyn，Donna C.，Foley，James D.，Hoey，J.Joseph，Moore，S.Gordon Jr.，Usselman，Marion佐治亚理工学院标题：APSIT：信息技术成功的替代途径这个ITWF奖项为信息技术成功途径(APSIT)计划提供支持，该计划旨在探索成功的女性和少数族裔佐治亚理工学院校友使用的IT和工程教育和职业途径的本质。该项目的目标是：1.通过使用纸质和电话调查、面对面访谈和佐治亚理工学院校友的学院记录，确定白人女性以及来自代表人数较少的族裔群体的男性和女性所使用的教育和职业战略是否与白人男性在成功追求信息技术和工程学位和职业时所使用的战略不同。2.探索高中和大学教育成功(以平均成绩和标准化测试分数衡量)与IT和工程工作人员以后成功的指数之间的相关性，并按性别和种族分析这些相关性。3.探讨IT和工程领域在女性和少数族裔的教育和职业成功方面的具体差异。

EIA-0204316Llewllyn, Donna C., Foley, James D., Hoey, J. Joseph, Moore, S. Gordon Jr., Usselman, MarionGeorgia Institute of Technology Title: APSIT: Alternate Pathways to success in Information TechnologyThis ITWF award provides support for the Alternate Pathways to Success in Information Technology (APSIT) program which seeks to explore the nature of the IT and engineering educational and career pathways used by successful female and minority Georgia Tech alumni. The objectives of the project are:1. To determine, through the use of paper and telephone surveys, face-to-face interviews, and institute records of Georgia Tech alumni, whether the educational and career strategies used by white women and by men and women from underrepresented ethnic groups differ from the strategies used by white men in their successful pursuit of IT and engineering degrees and careers. 2. To explore correlations between high school and college educational success (as measured by grade point average, and standardized test scores) with indices of later success in the IT and engineering work force, and to analyze these correlations by gender and ethnicity. 3. To explore IT and engineering field-specific differences in educational and career success for women and minorities.
