Engineering Deans Forum Broadening Participation

项目摘要

The nations economy, well-being and security are linked to engineering-driven innovation and the future of engineering is inextricably linked to broadening participation in the field. As stewards of the profession, Deans of engineering are acutely aware of these linkages and uniquely positioned to provide leadership in the development of a diverse cadre of engineers who are innovators, leaders and problem-solvers. In particular, as a group, the engineering deans serving on the NSF Directorate for Engineering Advisory Committee, AdCom serve as intermediaries between NSF and the broader engineering community and help guide investments in engineering research and education. The Engineering Deans Forum on Broadening Participation anchored by the Engineering AdCom Deans as a backbone organization within a collective impact framework, serves as a national network for sharing and disseminating, convening, and building partnerships toward the training and preparation of a diverse engineering workforce. The goals of the Forum are to 1) increase the percentage of underrepresented groups in engineering, 2) achieve diversity and inclusion in engineering research and education, and 3) provide an ongoing mechanism to achieve the aforementioned goals. Through its activities, the Engineering Deans Forum guides the development and implementation of innovative approaches to diversity and inclusion and helps bring evidence-based practices to scale across institutions leading to a diverse and agile engineering workforce representing the full range of talent in the country.

国家经济，福祉和安全与工程驱动的创新有关，工程的未来与扩大对该领域的参与密不可分。作为该行业的管理者，工程院长敏锐地意识到这些联系，并独特地定位，可以在开发各种各样的工程师干部，这些工程师是创新者，领导者和问题解决者。特别是，作为一个小组，在NSF工程咨询委员会任职的工程院长，ADCOM担任NSF与更广泛的工程社区之间的中介，并帮助指导工程研究和教育的投资。工程院长关于扩大参与的论坛由工程ADCOM Deans锚定为集体影响力框架内的骨干组织，是一个国家网络，用于共享和传播，召集和建立伙伴关系，以培训和准备多样化的工程劳动力。论坛的目标是1）增加工程中代表性不足的群体的百分比，2）实现工程研究和教育中的多样性和包容性，以及3）提供了一种持续的机制来实现上述目标。通过其活动，工程院长论坛指导和实施创新的多样性和包容性方法，并有助于带来循证实践，以扩大跨机构的扩展，导致代表该国全部人才的多样化和敏捷的工程劳动力。
