Engineering affects the health and vitality of a nation unlike any other profession, and the future of engineering is inextricably connected to broadening the participation of underrepresented groups at the highest levels of society. This project provides and promotes leadership development amongst the most underrepresented population of faculty and administrators in higher education, Women of Color (blacks or African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, and American Indians or Alaska Natives). Approximately 50 mid- to senior- level, women of color, computing and engineering faculty have been identified to participate in this project. The project will occur in three phases in each of the two years. The first phase of this project focuses on helping women of color, computing and engineering faculty understand who they are as potential leaders, via a set of leadership development assessments. The second phase brings these women together with senior colleagues and certified facilitators to learn about leadership strategies and tools; to assist participants in interpreting the results of their individual assessments; to develop a personal, leadership development plan; to facilitate discussion on case studies related to leadership and management; and to describe the role race and gender play for women in leadership positions and organizational advancement. The third phase builds a strategic alliance across a subset of historically underrepresented and often overlooked members of the computing and engineering professoriate to encourage and support their advancement into STEM leadership positions. Upon completion of this project there will be a cadre of women of color leaders equipped and prepared to step into academic leadership positions (i.e. Department Chair/Head, Dean, Provost, President) or a senior research/technical leadership role (i.e. Director of an Institute or Research Center). Additionally, the project will have created a network of mid- and- senior women of color who can provide support to one another as they advance through higher education’s administrative ranks. This work, and subsequent projects modeled like it, are critically important to increasing the proportion of leaders who are women and positioning them for success.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.

工程学影响着一个国家的健康和活力，与其他任何职业不同，工程学的未来与扩大社会最高层代表性不足的群体的参与密不可分。该项目提供并促进高等教育中教师和管理人员中代表性最不足的人群的领导力发展，有色人种妇女（黑人或非裔美国人，西班牙裔或拉丁裔，美洲印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民）。已确定约50名中高层、有色人种、计算机和工程系的妇女参加这一项目。该项目将在两年中的每一年分三个阶段进行。该项目的第一阶段侧重于帮助有色人种，计算机和工程学院的女性了解他们是谁作为潜在的领导者，通过一套领导力发展评估。第二阶段将这些妇女与资深同事和经认证的主持人聚集在一起，学习领导战略和工具;协助参与者解释其个人评估的结果;制定个人领导能力发展计划;促进对与领导和管理有关的案例研究的讨论;并描述种族和性别对妇女在领导职位和组织进步中的作用。第三阶段在计算和工程教授中历史上代表性不足且经常被忽视的成员的子集中建立战略联盟，以鼓励和支持他们晋升为STEM领导职位。在这个项目完成后，将有装备和准备进入学术领导职位（即系主任/主任，院长，教务长，总裁）或高级研究/技术领导角色（即研究所或研究中心主任）的有色领导妇女干部。此外，该项目还将建立一个由有色人种中高层妇女组成的网络，她们可以在高等教育的行政级别上相互提供支持。这项工作以及随后的类似项目对于增加女性领导者的比例并使她们取得成功至关重要。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。
