A WOMEN IN ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE CENTER: INFORMING RESEARCH,PRACTICE, AND INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE This project will develop the WEPAN Knowledge Center will contribute to increasing the number of women in engineering at all levels by providing a unique, web-based resource for practice and research that synthesizes, targets and creates key information. The objectives of the WEPAN Knowledge Center are to create an Internet knowledge center that:. Creates knowledge and provides leadership in key policy areas and information on issues related to increasing women's participation in engineering;. Collects and offers access to research, best practices, lessons learned, data and information;. Provides capacity building tools, including webinars and blogs;. Provides a platform to test and disseminate a new toolkit for creating information resources that will support the work of researchers and practitioners.The WEPAN Knowledge Center will use new technologies such as harvesting mechanisms to bring together the many resources available but scattered among a wide variety of programs and universities. It will make them readily accessible to stakeholders who need this information to develop policies, intervention activities and research programs related to WIE issues. WKC will provide new views of national statistics, analyses and policy summaries and improve access to research, educational models and approaches. To build national capacity among education practitioners and educators, WKC will offer a series of white papers written by experts in engineering programs and human resources research, and offer unified access to bibliographies and annotated literature reviews, related organizations and experts, job postings and resume banks, directories of women-in-engineering programs, and leadership development. In addition to white papers on key issues, WKC will develop status reports, fact sheets and briefing materials on key topics and an e-newsletter; offer webinars and blogs; and facilitate navigation to significant relevant resources on other sites, such as assessment tools for educational programs.

该项目将开发WEPAN知识中心，通过提供一个独特的基于网络的实践和研究资源，综合、针对和创建关键信息，为增加各级工程领域的妇女人数做出贡献。该网络知识中心的目标是建立一个互联网知识中心，它将：创造知识，并在关键政策领域提供领导，并提供有关增加妇女参与工程问题的信息;收集并提供研究、最佳做法、经验教训、数据和信息;提供能力建设工具，包括网络研讨会和博客;提供一个平台，测试和传播一个新的工具包，以创建信息资源，支持研究人员和从业人员的工作，WEPAN知识中心将使用新的技术，如收获机制，汇集许多可用的资源，但分散在各种各样的方案和大学。它将使需要这些信息的利益攸关方能够随时获得这些信息，以制定与WIE问题有关的政策、干预活动和研究方案。世界知识中心将提供国家统计数据、分析和政策摘要的新观点，并改善对研究、教育模式和方法的获取。为了在教育从业者和教育工作者中建立国家能力，WKC将提供一系列由工程项目和人力资源研究专家撰写的白色论文，并提供统一的参考书目和注释文献综述、相关组织和专家、职位发布和简历库、女性工程项目目录和领导力发展。除了关于关键问题的白色文件外，西九龙中心还将编制关于关键主题的现状报告、情况介绍和简报材料以及电子通讯;提供网络研讨会和博客;并促进导航到其他网站上的重要相关资源，例如教育计划的评估工具。
