Project WENDI: Women Engineering Doctoral Initiatives

该大学的WENDI项目（妇女工程博士奖励） 肯塔基州提出了一项增加女性数量的战略， 在学术界、工业界和政府从事研究工作的博士。 它专门为中级化学工程提供了一种策略 增加新的女博士的数量。 在接下来的几年里，从三个奖学金开始。 鼓励 妇女考虑研究生学习，WENDI项目提出了一个指导 计划为我们的本科生和我们的校友接触，以达到 潜在的非传统学生。 妇女的“临界质量”将 这些努力的结果。

Project WENDI (Women Engineering Doctoral Incentives) at the University of Kentucky presents a strategy for increasing the number of female Ph.D.s pursuing research careers in academia, industry, and government. It specifically provides a strategy for a mid-tier chemical engineering department to produce increase the number of new female Ph.D.s over the next several years, beginning with three fellowships. To encourage women to consider graduate study, Project WENDI proposes a mentoring program for our undergraduates and contact with our alumni to reach potential non-traditional students. A "critical Mass" of women will result from these efforts.
