The broader impact of this NSF INCLUDES project address the culture and preparation of the current and future mechanical engineering workforce, as well as expand the breadth of stakeholders responsible for contributing to the preparation and development of future mechanical engineers from underrepresented groups. A project of this magnitude would contribute to the emerging field of research that bridges various stakeholders in engineering preparation and workforce development. Cross-disciplinary approaches will be highlighted and used to contribute to the emerging field of research that bridges various stakeholders in engineering preparation and workforce development. The outcomes of this convening have the potential to: 1) advance knowledge for all organizations working to address the gap in mechanical engineering preparation of women and workforce and 2) lay the foundation for exploring other non-male identified individual's role in mechanical engineering. The proposed project aims to bring together qualified experts in engineering diversity and inclusion, industry, professional societies, government, and academia(colleges of engineering and community colleges) to apply their collective knowledge to discuss the current academic and professional preparation and retention of women in mechanical engineering. This conference will align and leverage the various individual strategies of stakeholders working to address the gender gap and build a connectedness that would fuel cultural change. This conference aims to examine, challenge, and discuss engineering education practices and culture as key elements in increasing the number of women in mechanical engineering, thereby contributing more significantly to increasing the diversity and competitiveness of the overall engineering workforce. The overall goal of this conference is to engage current NSF INCLUDES awardees working on broadening participation in engineering as well as the broader academic, industry, and nonprofit engineering community, to provide a platform for the examination of demonstrated approaches, activities, and implementation strategies to increase the number of women graduating and working in the mechanical engineering field. Projected outcomes include expanded/strengthened networks, improved knowledge of baseline research and models to improve women's participation in ME, the creation of a national community of support for women in ME, and implementation of the recommendations from the research strategies.This NSF INCLUDES Conference is co-funded by the Broadening Participation in Engineering (BPE) program. BPE is dedicated to supporting the development of a diverse and well-prepared engineering workforce.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

NSF的更广泛影响包括解决当前和未来机械工程劳动力的文化和准备问题，以及扩大利益相关者的广度，负责为来自代表性不足群体的未来机械工程师的准备和发展做出贡献。这种规模的项目将有助于在工程准备和劳动力发展方面联系不同利益攸关方的新兴研究领域。将强调跨学科方法，并将其用于促进在工程准备和劳动力发展方面连接不同利益攸关方的新兴研究领域。这次会议的成果有可能：1)为所有致力于解决妇女和劳动力在机械工程准备方面的差距的组织提供知识；2)为探索其他非男性身份的个人在机械工程中的作用奠定基础。拟议的项目旨在将工程多样性和包容性、行业、专业协会、政府和学术界(工程学院和社区学院)方面的合格专家聚集在一起，应用他们的集体知识来讨论目前机械工程领域妇女的学术和专业准备和留住问题。这次会议将协调和利用利益攸关方的各种个人战略，努力解决性别差距，并建立一种将推动文化变革的联系。本次会议旨在审视、挑战和讨论工程教育实践和文化作为增加机械工程女性人数的关键因素，从而为提高整个工程劳动力的多样性和竞争力做出更大贡献。本次会议的总体目标是让当前的NSF包括致力于扩大工程学参与的获奖者以及更广泛的学术界、工业界和非营利性工程界，为审查展示的方法、活动和实施战略提供一个平台，以增加机械工程领域毕业和工作的女性人数。预计的成果包括扩大/加强网络，提高对基线研究和模型的了解，以提高妇女在ME中的参与度，创建一个支持ME中妇女的国家社区，以及实施研究战略中的建议。本次NSF Includes会议由扩大参与工程(BPE)计划共同资助。BPE致力于支持一支多样化和准备充分的工程工作队伍的发展。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
