Proposal # 1143753Title: A Proposal to Conduct a Workshop on Professional Development of Underrepresented Minority Master?s and Doctoral Engineering Students.P.I. Shirley McBay, President of Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) NetworkProject Summary: The Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Directorate for Engineering (ENG) and Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, to conduct the third in a series of workshops focused on the professional development of underrepresented minority students in engineering and materials science. The goals of the two-day November 2011 workshop are to: 1) provide masters and doctoral engineering students from underrepresented minority groups with information, resources, and skills development opportunities to increase their success in graduate school and in transitioning to engineering careers in academe, government, or industry; and (2) provide networking opportunities for student participants with each other as well as with engineering faculty/other professionals attending the workshop. The first workshop in the series, conducted in November 2009 with ENG Directorate support, was on Mentoring of Underrepresented Minority Undergraduate Students in Engineering. The workshop brought together 142 students and their faculty advisors from 15 institutions. The second workshop, conducted in May 2011 convened three-member engineering faculty/staff teams from the 14 institutions to be invited to the proposed third workshop in November 2011. Faculty/staff advisors from ten of the institutions participating in the first workshop, who met in July 2010 to discuss next steps, strongly recommended the second and third workshops. Institutional teams in the proposed third workshop will consist of seven masters and doctoral underrepresented materials science and engineering students and the three-person faculty/advisor teams that participated in the May 2011 workshop, for a total of 14 ten-member institutional teams. Students on each team will include three masters and four doctoral students, including, where possible, at least three female students. Each racial/ethnic underrepresented group in a participating institutions graduate materials science or engineering program will be represented. The November 2011 workshop plenary sessions and breakout groups will focus on the requirements for completing a masters and/or doctoral degree in engineering or materials research; how to succeed in graduate school and secure support for graduate study; and the role and importance of research, publishing, conference attendance, mentoring, and networking. The workshop will examine requirements for success in academe, industry, and government and the critical transition from masters to doctoral degree programs in the fields represented.

提案＃1143753Title：一项提案，旨在开展有关代表性不足的少数民族硕士和博士学位学生的专业发展研讨会。 Shirley McBay，少数民族质量教育（QEM）网络项目摘要：少数民族（QEM）网络的质量教育由国家科学基金会（NSF），工程局（ENG）（ENG）和数学和物理科学局资助，以一系列专业的专业发展专业发展，专业的专业人士的专业培训专业人士的专业培训专业的材料科学专业的材料科学专业的材料和工程学。 2011年11月为期两天的研讨会的目标是：1）为来自代表性不足的少数群体的硕士和博士学位学生提供信息，资源和技能发展的机会，以增加其在研究生院并过渡到学术界，政府或行业的工程职业的成功； （2）为学生参与者以及参加研讨会的工程教师/其他专业人员提供网络机会。该系列中的第一个研讨会于2009年11月在Eng Directation支持下进行，是指导代表性不足的工程学生。该研讨会汇集了15个机构的142名学生及其教职顾问。 2011年5月举行的第二届研讨会召集了来自14个机构的三名成员工程教职员工团队，邀请了2011年11月参加拟议的第三次研讨会。来自十个机构的教职员工/员工顾问参加了第一个研讨会，他们参加了2010年7月的第一个研讨会，他们在2010年7月开会，讨论下一步，强烈建议第二和第三工程工作。拟议的第三届研讨会中的机构团队将由七个硕士和博士学位不足的材料科学和工程专业的学生以及参加2011年5月参加研讨会的三人教师/顾问团队组成，共有14个成员，由14个成员组成。每个团队的学生将包括三名硕士和四名博士生，包括至少三名女学生。参与机构的研究生材料科学或工程计划中的每个种族/种族人数不足的群体将被代表。 2011年11月的研讨会全体会议和突破小组将重点介绍完成工程或材料研究的硕士学位和/或博士学位的要求；如何在研究生院取得成功并获得研究生学习的支持；以及研究，出版，会议出勤，指导和网络的作用和重要性。该研讨会将研究学术界，工业和政府成功的要求，以及从代表的领域中从硕士学位到博士学位课程的关键过渡。
