Workshop: Executive Leadership in Academic Technology and Engineering (ELATE), Winter 2012 - Spring 2013, Philadelphia, PA

1213464/丹学术技术和工程（ELATE）计划的行政领导将解决目前迫切需要在学术工程领导职位的妇女更强的存在。ELATE将在全国范围内从广泛的工程学科和学术机构招聘职业生涯中期（副教授或正教授级别）的教师。ELATE研究员的提名必须由他们大学的领导者（通常是工程学院院长）提交和赞助-从而确保机构对他们职业发展的承诺，并展示机构对他们晋升和成功的承诺。兼职，每年定期，为期一年的计划将基于三个组成部分：教学：研究员将建立管理和领导技能的能力，同时在跨学科的同行团队工作。教学主题将在为期三周的研讨会中介绍，并在整个奖学金年度中间隔进行，并在全年中建立。机构：研究员将与主要机构领导人进行访谈，以熟悉他们大学的运作，并为他们提供机构的知名度。研究员还将与机构领导人一起制定机构行动项目（IAP），以满足研究或领导力的需求，并提供职业发展的途径。IAP的例子包括启动一个新的研究中心，为一个部门或单位的战略计划的发展，或一个新的学术课程的发展。指导和网络：研究员将在计划的所有阶段（包括机构组成部分）由高级工程领导人，基准教练和同行指导。他们可以选择与他们的同行团队保持联系（使用提供的会议线路），并随着计划的成熟，与全国各地的其他ELATE毕业生保持联系。这三个相互联系的组成部分将导致一个独特而有效的领导力计划，与其他显著不同，目前可用于工程女性的领导力计划。它是仿照非常成功的ELAM（学术医学行政领导）计划为妇女在学术医学，牙科和公共卫生。ELATE的毕业生人数超过700人，其中50%是牙科女院长，25%是医学院女院长，ELATE将在全国范围内增加学术工程领域的女领导人数，同时为她们提供必要的技能和长期的指导和网络系统。作为一个经常性的计划，它将有助于随着时间的推移建立一个有能力的女性工程领导者的重要群体。

1213464/ DanThe Executive Leadership in Academic Technology and Engineering (ELATE) program will address the currently acute need for a stronger presence of women in leadership positions in academic engineering. ELATE will recruit, nationally, faculty in mid-career (at the associate or full professor level) from a broad range of engineering disciplines and academic institutions. Nominations of ELATE fellows must be submitted and sponsored by a leader in their university typically the Dean of Engineering - thereby ensuring institutional commitment to their career development and demonstrating institutional commitment to their promotion and success. The part-time, annually recurring, year-long program will be based on three components:Instructional: Fellows will build competencies in management and leadership skills, while working in interdisciplinary peer teams. Instructional topics will be introduced during three week-long workshops interspaced throughout the fellowship year, and built upon throughout the year.Institutional: Fellows will conduct interviews with key institution leaders to get familiarized with the workings of their university, and provide them with institutional visibility. Fellows will also develop an Institutional Action Project (IAP) in conjunction with an institutional leader, to address a need in research or leadership and provide a path for career development. Examples of IAPs include the initiation of a new research center, development of a strategic plan for a department or unit, or the development of a new academic program.Mentoring and networking: Fellows will be mentored during all stages of the program (including the institutional components) by senior engineering leaders, benchmark coaches, and peers. They could choose to stay in contact with their peer teams (using a conference line provided) and, as the program matures, with other ELATE graduates across the nation.These three linked components will result in a unique and effective leadership program that differs significantly from other, currently available leadership programs for engineering women. It is modeled after the highly successful ELAM (Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine) program for women in academic medicine, dentistry and public health. ELAM alumnae now number over 700 and include 50% of all women deans of dentistry and 25% of all women deans of medical schools.ELATE will increase, nation-wide, the numbers of women leaders in academic engineering, while providing them with the necessary skills and a long-term mentoring and networking system. As a recurring program, it will help build over time a significant cohort of capable women engineering leaders.
