项目摘要

The University of the District of Columbia (UDC) proposes a transformative project titled "Nurturing Women's Innovativeness and Strength in Engineering through Experiential Learning in Biomedical Engineering" (WISE), the goal of which is to creatively recruit and retain minority pre-college and undergraduate females in Biomedical Engineering (BME). Meaningful engineering education research efforts that attempt to study best practices relating to the recruitment and retention of minority females in engineering need to be located in environments that demonstrate strong enrollment of a critical mass of these individuals in engineering. The fact that UDC is one of only two HBCUs nationally that offer accredited degrees in BME clearly makes the institution a strong candidate for study. The main elements of the project are premised on two pivotal facts: 1) the relative success of BME in attracting females to the engineering discipline and 2) the pre-eminent role played by HBCUs nationally in producing the majority of the nation's minority female engineers. The project features three major components. The first component WEAVE - Young Women Exposed Actively to the Value of Engineering - will provide engineering exposure via hands-on experimentation with special BME lab kits. The second component REACH - Research in Engineering to Achieve a more Confident Her - will impact female minority UDC undergraduate students' confidence in engineering via research problems in human health within UDC's Center for Biomechanical & Rehabilitation Engineering. The third component AMAZE - Accomplished female Minorities Add Zeal to Engineering - will counteract engineering stereotypes, and reduce feelings of isolation through mentor success stories and guest speaker activities. Additionally, the three-pronged WISE project will generate valuable knowledge about attitudinal effects of engineering activities and exposure to female engineering role-models on female minority youth interest, confidence and persistence in STEM.

哥伦比亚特区大学(UDC)提出了一个名为“通过生物医学工程的体验式学习培养女性在工程领域的创新能力和实力”(WISE)的变革性项目，其目标是创造性地招募和留住生物医学工程(BME)的少数族裔预科和本科女性。有意义的工程教育研究工作，如果试图研究与工程专业招募和留住少数族裔女性有关的最佳做法，则需要在这样的环境中开展工作，表明这些人在工程专业的招生人数达到了相当高的水平。UDC是全国仅有的两所提供BME认可学位的HBCU之一，这一事实显然使该机构成为学习的有力候选者。该项目的主要内容以两个关键事实为前提：1)BME在吸引女性进入工程学科方面取得了相对成功；2)HBCU在培养全国大多数少数民族女性工程师方面发挥了突出作用。该项目有三个主要组成部分。第一个编织组件--积极接触工程学价值的年轻女性--将通过使用特殊的BME实验室套件进行动手实验来提供工程学暴露。第二个组成部分REACH-工程研究以实现更自信的HER-将通过在UDC生物力学与康复工程中心内研究人类健康问题来影响UDC少数族裔女性本科生对工程学的信心。第三个组成部分Amaze-成就卓著的女性少数族裔为工程学增添热情-将抵消工程学的刻板印象，并通过导师成功故事和嘉宾演讲活动减少孤立感。此外，三管齐下的WISE项目将产生关于工程活动的态度影响和接触女性工程榜样的宝贵知识，促进少数族裔女性青年对STEM的兴趣、信心和坚持不懈。
