Very few opportunities exist for junior women faculty in engineering to network, foster peer mentoring relationships, and interact with other female engineering faculty, particularly with female role models. The difficulty in connecting junior women faculty with senior women mentors contributes to under-representation of women in engineering faculty. The proposed workshop for assistant professors is designed to provide them with professional skills that will help them be successful faculty members and give them opportunities for mentorship and professional collaborations across institutions to counter isolation and lack of networking opportunities. The goal of this workshop is to enhance the professional skills and network of junior women faculty in engineering departments in the Big 10+. Methods used will include faculty toolbox sessions to provide core skills (negotiation, elevator pitch, management skills), activities designed to build peer-mentoring skills, and a professional coaching session. A keynote speaker and a panel session with deans from the Big 10+ will provide participants the perspectives of senior administrative leaders. In addition, a panel will address the intersection of race and gender in a session during the meeting. The senior women mentors who attend will also benefit from additional mentoring training, mentoring experience, and development of their own research networks.

很少有机会存在的初级女教师在工程网络，培养同伴指导关系，并与其他女性工程教师，特别是女性榜样互动。在将初级女教师与高级女导师联系起来方面的困难导致工程系中妇女人数不足。拟议的助理教授研讨会旨在为他们提供专业技能，帮助他们成为成功的教职员工，并为他们提供跨机构指导和专业合作的机会，以对抗孤立和缺乏网络机会。本次研讨会的目标是提高专业技能和网络的大10+工程部门的初级女教师。 使用的方法将包括教师工具箱会议，以提供核心技能（谈判，电梯间距，管理技能），旨在建立同行指导技能的活动，以及专业的辅导课程。 一个主旨发言人和一个小组会议与院长从大10+将为与会者提供高级行政领导人的观点。 此外，一个小组将在会议期间的一次会议上讨论种族和性别的交叉问题。 参加的高级女导师还将受益于额外的辅导培训、辅导经验和发展自己的研究网络。
