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.

这个NSF INCLUDES项目的更广泛影响涉及当前和未来机械工程劳动力的文化和准备，以及扩大负责为代表性不足的群体的未来机械工程师的准备和发展做出贡献的利益相关者的范围。这样规模的项目将有助于新兴的研究领域，在工程准备和劳动力发展方面联系各种利益相关者。跨学科的方法将被强调，并用于促进新兴的研究领域，桥梁工程准备和劳动力发展的各个利益相关者。这次会议的成果有可能：1）推进知识，为所有组织努力解决差距在机械工程准备的妇女和劳动力和2）奠定基础，探索其他非男性确定个人的作用在机械工程。拟议的项目旨在汇集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）的合格专家，运用他们的集体知识，讨论目前的学术和专业准备和保留妇女在机械工程。本次会议将调整和利用利益攸关方的各种个人战略，以解决性别差距，并建立一个连接，将推动文化变革。本次会议旨在审查，挑战和讨论工程教育实践和文化，作为增加机械工程领域女性人数的关键因素，从而为提高整体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目前的NSF INCLUDES获奖者致力于扩大工程以及更广泛的学术，工业和非营利工程社区的参与，为检查示范方法，活动和实施战略提供一个平台，以增加女性毕业和在机械工程领域工作的人数。预计的成果包括扩大/加强网络，提高基线研究和模型的知识，以提高妇女在ME的参与，创建一个支持妇女在ME的国家社区，并实施研究战略的建议。BPE致力于支持多样化和准备充分的工程队伍的发展。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
