奥姆尼亚·埃尔-哈基姆博士的提案编号0936137摘要。提案#0936137标题：为未被充分代表的少数族裔本科工程学学生及其导师举办辅导研讨会的提案。主要调查者：雪莉·麦克贝。机构：针对少数族裔的优质教育网络。提案#0936137题为“为未被充分代表的少数民族本科工程学学生及其导师举办辅导讲习班的提案”，为学生提供了一个机会，让他们认识杰出的导师；并了解导师的角色和优秀导师的属性。为期两天的密集研讨会重点是对未被充分代表的少数族裔本科工程专业学生进行指导。研讨会的目的是提高学员对教师和同伴辅导在提高本科工程专业学生的学术和专业成绩方面所起的作用的理解，这些学生是少数族裔群体中的一员。研讨会计划面向150名未被充分代表的少数族裔本科工程专业学生和来自15所拥有教辅认证工程课程的机构的15名工程教职员工顾问。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，另一所少数族裔机构，以及两所以白人为主的机构。15所院校中的每一所都将由10名代表不足的少数族裔本科生和1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发展同伴支持网络和互动的计划。此外，这项建议确认了全人发展的重要性(即沟通技能、当今社会的工程技术、专业行为和学术准备)，并表明了对多样性的承诺。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职员工分享，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学士学位和博士学位的少数族裔学生的数量来获得回报，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。OmniaEl-Hakim，Ph.D.-项目主管多样性和外向型国家科学基金会工程局4201 Wilson Blvd.，Suite 505N Arlington，VA 22230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
