HRD 04-54569MentorNet will host a workshop for engineering researchers and higher education faculty/administrators attending the annual WEPAN meeting (Women in Engineering Programs & Advocates Network) to share and further disseminate new findings and best practices about mentoring, particularly mentoring via the Mentor Net electronic/virtual systems. An additional focus is the targeted inclusion of members of the National Association for Minority Engineering Program Administrators (NAMEPA) in the workshop. The project plan includes basic evaluation, including pre- (formative) and post-workshop evaluationsMuller cites data from a recent MentorNet evaluation and research project that was performed by SJB Consulting (contracted by MentorNet) that indicates that women of color participating in MentorNet's one-on-one mentoring program find the experience particularly helpful - African-Americans at 76 percent and Hispanics/Latinos at 79 percent, compared with Asian-Americans at 69 percent and Anglo-/European Americans at 72 percent. The study also reported that African-American and Hispanic/Latino mentors also had preferentially good experiences-with their development of mentoring skills, commitment, and confidence increasing significantly. The activity should provide a learning opportunity for WEPAN and NAMEPA members to acquire some skills and knowledge from MentorNet's extensive investment and interaction in mentoring. The workshop should impact (increase) the retention of women and minorities in engineering education, and their preparation for entry, perseverance, and promotion in the engineering workforce.

HRD 04- 54569 MentorNet将为参加年度WEPAN会议的工程研究人员和高等教育教师/管理人员举办一次研讨会，以分享和进一步传播关于指导的新发现和最佳做法，特别是通过Mentor Net电子/虚拟系统进行指导。另一个重点是有针对性地将全国少数民族工程方案管理员协会（NAMEPA）的成员纳入讲习班。项目计划包括基本评估，包括预评估，Muller引用了最近由SJB咨询公司进行的MentorNet评估和研究项目的数据（由MentorNet承包），这表明参加MentorNet一对一辅导计划的有色人种女性认为这种经历特别有帮助-非洲裔美国人占76%，西班牙裔/拉丁裔占79%，相比之下，亚裔美国人为69%，英裔/欧裔美国人为72%。该研究还报告说，非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔/拉丁裔导师也有优先良好的经验，他们的指导技能，承诺和信心的发展显着增加。这项活动应提供一个学习机会，使网络和北美环境保护协会的成员从辅导网在辅导方面的广泛投资和互动中获得一些技能和知识。讲习班应影响（增加）妇女和少数民族在工程教育中的保留，以及他们进入工程劳动力的准备，毅力和晋升。
