The organizers of this workshop will convene a forum of women of color who hold Full Professor rank in engineering programs as well as their peers from the Diversity Committee, Women in Engineering, and Minorities Divisions of the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE). The workshop is intended to advance knowledge and understanding of evidence-based strategies for increasing the entry, retention and advancement of African American women in the engineering academy. The quality of previous work done by the proposers as well as the resources available to them means leadership in this effort by a highly qualified team that has key insights into the challenges of this population. The proposers have national resources and relationships to broadly disseminate the outcomes as well as access to institutions and organizations where these strategies can be implemented. The workshop will result in models for enhancing the participation of African American and other underrepresented individuals in engineering as faculty and leaders. This forum is likely to produce collaborations and alliances that will result in future efforts for implementing organizational change strategies to address inequities. The results will be disseminated broadly and will result in actionable proposals to enhance the participation in engineering by individuals traditionally underrepresented in engineering. The longer term potential benefits to society include increasing role models in engineering and increasing the diversity in the innovation sector.

本次研讨会的组织者将召开一个有色人种妇女论坛，她们在工程项目中担任正教授，以及来自美国工程教育协会（ASEE）多样性委员会，工程妇女和少数民族部门的同行。 该讲习班旨在增进对循证战略的了解和理解，以增加非裔美国妇女在工程学院的入学、保留和晋升。提议者以前所做工作的质量以及他们可用的资源意味着由一个对这一人口的挑战有关键见解的高素质团队领导这一努力。提议者拥有广泛传播成果的国家资源和关系，并有机会接触可执行这些战略的机构和组织。该研讨会将导致模型，以加强非裔美国人和其他代表性不足的个人在工程作为教师和领导人的参与。这一论坛很可能产生协作和联盟，从而导致今后努力执行组织变革战略，以解决不平等问题。 结果将被广泛传播，并将导致可操作的建议，以提高在工程传统上代表性不足的个人参与工程。 对社会的长期潜在利益包括增加工程领域的榜样和增加创新部门的多样性。
