ADVANCE Leadership Award: Collaborative Research: Leadership Skills and Community Building Program for Junior Women Engineering Faculty in Engineering

这项拟议工作的目标是为工程学科的初级女教师建立一个区域组织的、自我维持的领导能力培训方案。 通过同时培训女性工程教师的领导能力和建立一个区域性的同行指导网络，调查人员希望提高工程领域女性学术人员的工作绩效和满意度，从而提高保留率和晋升率。 拟议的活动是基于在东北部进行的一项试点计划，并将为在大西洋中部举行的一系列为期三年的区域会议提供资金，这些会议将提供领导力培训，促进联网，并将作为该国其他地区的典范。该计划的具体目标是：1。 通过体验式学习计划，培训初级女工程师的领导力，沟通和冲突管理; 2。 通过一名高级女学术工程师的“内部人士的观点”，教育妇女了解该学院;3. 在工程专业的初级女教师中启用和促进同行指导和区域网络;以及4. 促进该计划在美国各地的扩展。

The goal of this proposed work is to establish a regionally-organized, self-sustaining leadership training program for junior women faculty in engineering disciplines. By simultaneously training women engineering faculty in leadership and constructing a regional peer-mentoring network, the investigators hope to increase job performance and satisfaction for academic women in engineering, thus increasing both retention and advancement. The proposed activity is based on a pilot program conducted in the Northeast and will fund a three-year series of regional meetings in the mid-Atlantic that will provide leadership training, facilitate networking, and will be used as a model for other regions of the country. The specific objectives of this proposed program are to: 1. Train junior women engineering faculty in leadership, communication and conflict management through an experiential learning program; 2. Educate women about the academy through an "insider's perspective" from a senior woman academic engineer;3. Enable and foster peer-mentoring and regional networking among junior women faculty in engineering; and 4. Promote the expansion of the program throughout the United States.
