Improving Academic Climate for Women in Science and Engineering

该项目的目标是提高女性在科学和工程专业本科生和研究生的留校率。在罗切斯特大学，他们正在进行一系列为期一学期的活动，其中包括：(1)为助教和进入物理教职员工举办研讨会和讨论会，以改善女学生的课堂气氛；(2)在物理教职员工会议期间就女性课堂气氛问题进行演讲和讨论；(3)与妇女举行旨在改善大学和毕业生经历的讨论会；以及(4)评估这些活动在改善妇女在科学和工程领域留住方面的成效。这些活动将在第二学期在该大学的另一个科学系重复进行。

The goal of this project is to improve the retention rate of women at the undergraduate and graduate levels in science and engineering. At the University of Rochester they are undertaking a series of semester-long activities which include: (1) workshops and discussion sessions for teaching assistants and entering physics faculty to improve the classroom climate for women students; (2) giving presentations and holding discussions during physics faculty meetings on the issue of classroom climate for women; (3) having discussion sessions with women aimed at improving the college and graduate experience; and (4) evaluating the effectiveness of these activities on improving the retention of women in the sciences and engineering. These activities will be repeated in another science department at the university during the second semester.//
