Pangborn AbstractPAESMEM Mentoring for Academic Career Development Study and Action WorkshopABSTRACTThe power of mentoring and role models is generally acknowledged and are criticalcareer development tools for women in engineering faculty careers. Yet, because women areseverely underrepresented on engineering faculties nationwide, many junior and mid-levelengineering faculty women lack positive female role models and mentors and are too oftenoverlooked or left out of crucial information loops. The successful senior women who are thepotential mentors have little time or experience of successful mentoring. What is needed is amentoring model, or methodology, that provides the necessary support for junior and mid-levelwomen faculty, mines the experience of senior women faculty, and respects the time demandsthat are a reality for all productive engineering faculty members. It is necessary to design ways inwhich successful mentors can have sustained contact with junior faculty while not overburdeningthe mentors themselves.The proposed Mentoring for Academic Career Development Study and Action Workshop,led by Penn State's Council of Senior Engineering Faculty Women will bring together seniorwomen from universities and industry to identify effective practices in faculty mentoring as well asproblems in developing good mentoring programs. The goal will be to develop a realistic modeland guidelines for mentoring junior and mid-level faculty women. Inclusion of successful industrywomen will allow the workshop to include industry practices and experiences in the deliberation.Workshop objectives are to:o Create a realistic model, based upon experience, practice and on-going research, of howmentoring can be provided in a comprehensive way to junior faculty women.o Build on existing Penn State workshops for career development for faculty womeno Improve the mentoring experiences of all participantso Identify a set of research questions for future investigation into mentoring for engineeringfaculty womeno Publish and broadly disseminate workshop outcomesThe workshop will include pre-assessment surveys, pre-work and readings on current literature,and pre- and post-conference interactions-all designed to set up a productive dialogue. Postconferenceassessment will also be conducted.Intellectual MeritThe PAESMEM Mentoring Study and Action Workshop aims to broaden current understanding ofthe challenges of mentoring in the Academy to benefit three important audiences - junior andmid-level faculty women, senior faculty women and administrators. The proposed workshop willresult in published guidelines in paper and electronic format. The workshop assessment willprovide basic information for researchers in academic mentoring. In the long term, this workshopwill create a new dialogue about effective mentoring that can be implemented in the highpressure world of engineering faculties. It is anticipated that the findings will be relevant to otherSTEM professionals.Broader ImpactThe findings of the workshop have the potential to provide engineering faculty with the tools fordeveloping an effective mentoring model for engineering faculty women, a groupunderrepresented in engineering.

Pangborn AbstractPAESMEM学术职业发展研究和行动研讨会辅导的力量和榜样是公认的，是关键的职业发展工具，为妇女在工程学院的职业生涯。然而，由于女性在全国工程学院的代表性严重不足，许多初级和中级工程学院的女性缺乏积极的女性榜样和导师，并且经常被忽视或被排除在重要的信息圈之外。成功的高级女性是潜在的导师，她们几乎没有时间或经验进行成功的指导。我们需要的是一种指导模式或方法，为初级和中级女教师提供必要的支持，挖掘高级女教师的经验，并尊重所有生产性工程教师的时间需求。有必要设计一些方法，使成功的导师能够与初级教师保持持续的联系，同时又不给导师带来过重的负担。由宾夕法尼亚州立大学高级工程学院女性理事会领导的拟议中的学术职业发展研究和行动研讨会将汇集来自大学和行业的高级女性，以确定教师指导的有效做法以及制定良好指导计划的问题。目标是为指导初级和中级女教师制定一个现实的模式和指导方针。成功的行业妇女参与研讨会，将使研讨会能够将行业做法和经验纳入讨论。研讨会的目标是：o根据经验、实践和正在进行的研究，创建一个现实的模型，说明如何以全面的方式向初级女教师提供指导。o在现有的宾夕法尼亚州立大学女教师职业发展讲习班的基础上建立o改善所有参与者的指导经验o确定一套研究问题，供今后对工程系女教师的指导进行调查o发表并广泛传播讲习班成果讲习班将包括评估前调查，准备工作和当前文献的阅读，以及会前和会后的互动-所有这些都旨在建立一个富有成效的对话。学术价值PAESMEM指导研究和行动研讨会旨在扩大目前对学院指导挑战的理解，使三个重要受众受益-初级和中级女教师，高级女教师和管理人员。拟议的研讨会将产生以书面和电子格式出版的准则。研讨会的评估将为学术指导的研究人员提供基本信息。从长远来看，这个研讨会将创造一个新的对话，有效的指导，可以在工程学院的高压世界实施。预计研究结果将与其他STEM专业人员相关。更广泛的影响研讨会的研究结果有可能为工程学院提供工具，为工程学院的女性开发有效的指导模式，这是一个在工程领域代表性不足的群体。
