Intellectual Merit: WFPDI is a three-year Dissemination of GSE Outcomes project proposed by WEPAN, Women in Engineering ProActive Network. The goal is to engage engineering faculty with strategies and materials that will increase their awareness, interest, and willingness to create engineering education experiences that are engaging and motivating to a diverse community of women students and their racial and ethnic minority male counterparts. WEPAN has collected, organized and made available more than 1,000 research and practice-based resources on women in science and engineering in its searchable web-based Knowledge Center. The proposed project will use these resources and other materials to develop how-to agenda papers and companion PowerPoint presentations to be offered via webinar and face-to-face workshops. The practitioner audience selected for WFPDI is engineering faculty. Evaluation will focus on gains in knowledge, changes in attitude/affect, and changes in behavior.Broader Impacts: The proposed project will promote teaching and learning by disseminating to engineering faculty actionable, research-based strategies and materials on issues of gender in science and engineering to support persistence of a diverse community of women students and their racial and ethnic minority male counterparts. WFPDI faculty professional development opportunities will be disseminated broadly by leveraging existing networks of engineering faculty. The benefit to society will be an engineering faculty that is better prepared to create engaging, motivating learning environments that support persistence of a diverse community of women students and their racial and ethnic minority male counterparts.

知识价值：WFPDI是由WEPAN（妇女参与工程积极网络）提出的一个为期三年的GSE成果传播项目。我们的目标是让工程教师与战略和材料，这将提高他们的认识，兴趣和意愿，创造工程教育的经验，吸引和激励女性学生和他们的种族和少数民族男性同行的多元化社区。该网络在其可搜索的网上知识中心收集、组织和提供了1 000多份关于科学和工程领域妇女的研究和实践资源。拟议的项目将利用这些资源和其他材料，编写如何议程文件和配套的PowerPoint演示文稿，通过网络研讨会和面对面的讲习班提供。WFPDI选择的从业者观众是工程学院。评估将侧重于知识的收获，态度/影响的变化，以及行为的变化。更广泛的影响：拟议的项目将促进教学，传播给工程学院的可操作的，基于研究的战略和材料的性别问题在科学和工程，以支持一个多元化的社区的女学生和他们的种族和少数民族的男性同行的持久性。WFPDI教师的专业发展机会将通过利用现有的工程教师网络广泛传播。对社会的好处将是一个工程系，更好地准备创造参与，激励学习环境，支持女学生和他们的种族和少数民族男性同行的多元化社区的持久性。
