BRIDGE: A Proposal to Conduct a Mentoring Workshop for Underrepresented Minority Undergraduate Engineering Students and their Advisors

Omnia El-Hakim博士提案编号0936137的摘要。提案# 0936137标题：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指导研讨会的提案。首席调查员：雪莉·麦克贝。机构：少数民族素质教育网络。提案编号0936137题为“为未被充分代表的少数民族本科工程学生及其导师举办指导研讨会的提案”，是学生与优秀导师见面的机会；并了解导师的作用和一个好导师的属性。为期两天的密集研讨会侧重于指导未被充分代表的少数民族本科工程专业学生。研讨会的目标是增加参与者对教师和同伴指导在提高未被充分代表的少数群体成员的本科工程专业学生成功的学术和专业成果方面所起作用的理解。该研讨会计划为150名未被充分代表的少数民族本科工程专业学生和15名工程教师/参谋顾问，他们来自15所拥有abet认证的工程项目的机构。这些机构将包括七所历史上的黑人学院和大学，五所为西班牙裔服务的机构，一所其他少数族裔机构和两所以白人为主的机构。15所院校中的每一所将由10名未被充分代表的少数族裔本科生和一名教职员工顾问代表。会议将分享经验和最佳做法，学习有效的指导，并制定发展同伴支持网络和互动的计划。此外，该提案认识到全人发展的重要性（即沟通技巧，当今社会的工程，职业行为以及学术准备），并展示了对多样性的承诺。议程上的所有演讲都将放在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，有效的指导将通过少数民族学生获得工程学士和博士学位的人数增加而获得回报，这反过来将有助于加强国家在科学和技术方面的全球竞争力。Omnia El-Hakim，博士，多样性和拓展项目主任，美国国家科学基金会工程理事会，威尔逊大道4201号。电话：（703）292- 2149传真：（703）292- 9013电子邮件：oelhakim@nsf.gov

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: (703) 292- 2149Fax: (703) 292- 9013E-Mail: oelhakim@nsf.gov
