Women of color are underrepresented throughout the engineering professoriate. This project is developing a special professional development workshop for women faculty of color to broaden their participation in advanced manufacturing areas. The main objectives of the workshop are to: 1) increase awareness of innovation needs and relevance of advanced manufacturing to the U.S., 2) promote a networking platform that brings women of color engineering faculty together to stimulate potential collaborations on advanced manufacturing, and 3) share strategies for overcoming obstacles that often hinder the career advancement of women of color faculty in engineering.The research-driven workshop will focus on emerging advanced manufacturing areas, with an emphasis on the design of materials, additive manufacturing, and hybrid manufacturing. Workshop participants will have access to state of the art equipment available in the Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering Department at Iowa State University, and training will be offered through modular hands-on activities that are supplemented with theoretical instruction. The workshop will host up to twenty-five women of color engineering faculty from various universities around the country, along with ten to fifteen undergraduate students from Iowa State University. The participants will engage in a "speed mentoring" activity, where they will have the unique opportunity to develop and discuss their specific career plans in one-on-one sessions.

有色人种的女性在整个工程专业中的代表性不足。该项目正在为有色人种女教师开发一个特别的专业发展讲习班，以扩大她们在先进制造领域的参与。研讨会的主要目标是：1）提高对创新需求和先进制造业与美国的相关性的认识，2)促进一个网络平台，使女性的颜色工程教师聚集在一起，以激发先进制造业的潜在合作，3）分享战略，克服障碍，往往阻碍女性的颜色工程教师的职业发展。研究驱动的研讨会将集中在新兴的先进制造领域，重点是材料设计，增材制造和混合制造。研讨会的参与者将有机会在爱荷华州州立大学的工业和制造系统工程系获得最先进的设备，并通过模块化的实践活动，辅以理论指导提供培训。该研讨会将举办多达25名妇女的颜色工程教师从全国各地的各个大学，沿着10至15名本科生从爱荷华州州立大学。参与者将参加“快速指导”活动，在那里他们将有独特的机会在一对一的会议上制定和讨论他们的具体职业计划。
