Abstract of proposal number 0936137 by Dr. Omnia El-Hakim.Proposal # 0936137Title: A Proposal to Conduct a Mentoring Workshop for Underrepresented Minority Undergraduate Engineering Students and their Advisors.Principal Investigator: Shirley McBay.Institution: Quality Education for Minorities Network.The Proposal # 0936137 title "A Proposal to Conduct a Mentoring Workshop for Underrepresented Minority Undergraduate Engineering Students and their Advisors" is an opportunity for students to meet outstanding mentors; and to understand the role of mentor and attributes of a good mentor. The two-day intensive workshop focused on mentoring of underrepresented minority undergraduate engineering majors. The goal of the workshop is to increase the participants' understanding of the role that faculty and peer mentoring play in enhancing the successful academic and professional outcomes of undergraduate engineering majors who are members of underrepresented minority groups. The workshop is planned for 150 underrepresented minority undergraduate engineering majors and 15 engineering faculty/staff advisors from 15 institutions with ABET-accredited engineering programs. The institutions will include seven Historically Black Colleges and Universities, five Hispanic-serving Institutions, one Other Minority Institution, and two Predominantly White Institutions. Each of the 15 institutions will be represented by 10 underrepresented minority undergraduate students and one faculty/staff advisor. Sessions will provide sharing experiences and best practices, learning about effective mentoring as well as build a plan for development of a peer support network and interaction. In addition, this proposal recognizes the importance of development of the whole person (i.e. communication skills, engineering in today's society, professional conduct, as well as academic preparation) and demonstrated commitment to diversity. All presentations on the agenda will be placed on QEM's website and shared with interested students and faculty, whether or not they attended the workshop. Over the long-term, effective mentoring will pay off through an increase in the number of minority students who obtain baccalaureate and doctoral degrees in engineering that, in turn, will help strengthen the nation's global competitiveness in science and technology.Omnia El-Hakim, Ph.D.-Program Director For Diversity and OutreachNational Science FoundationDirectorate for Engineering4201 Wilson Blvd., Suite 505NArlington, VA 22230 Tel: [phone]Fax: [phone]E-Mail: [e-mail]

Omnia El-Hakim博士的提案编号0936137摘要。提案编号0936137标题：为代表性不足的少数族裔工程专业本科生及其顾问举办辅导研讨会的提案。主要研究员：Shirley McBay。机构：少数民族优质教育网络。第0936137号提案题为“为代表性不足的少数民族本科工程专业学生及其顾问举办辅导讲习班的建议”是学生与优秀导师见面的机会;并了解导师的作用和优秀导师的属性。为期两天的密集研讨会侧重于指导代表性不足的少数民族本科工程专业。研讨会的目标是增加参与者对教师和同行指导在提高本科工程专业学生的成功学术和专业成果方面所发挥的作用的理解，这些学生是代表性不足的少数群体的成员。该研讨会计划为150个代表性不足的少数民族本科工程专业和15个工程教师/工作人员顾问从15个机构与ABET认证的工程方案。 这些机构将包括七所历史上的黑人学院和大学，五所西班牙裔服务机构，一所其他少数民族机构和两所以白色为主的机构。15所院校中的每一所都将由10名代表性不足的少数民族本科生和一名教职员工顾问代表。会议将提供分享经验和最佳做法，学习有效的指导，以及建立一个发展同行支持网络和互动的计划。此外，该提案承认整个人发展的重要性（即沟通技能，当今社会的工程，专业行为以及学术准备），并表现出对多样性的承诺。议程上的所有演讲将放在QEM的网站上，并与感兴趣的学生和教师分享，无论他们是否参加了研讨会。从长远来看，有效的指导将通过增加获得工程学士学位和博士学位的少数民族学生数量而获得回报，这反过来将有助于加强该国在科学和技术方面的全球竞争力。多样性和外联项目主任国家科学基金会工程理事会威尔逊大道4201号，Suite 505NArlington，VA 22230 Tel：[phone] Fax：[phone] E-Mail：[e-mail]
