CRA Distributed Mentor Project: Mentoring Undergraduate Females in Computer Science and Computer Engineering

为了增加进入CISE学科研究生院的女性人数，计算研究协会（CRA）提出了一个分布式指导项目，每年将有20- 30名女本科生与CISE研究领域的一些女教授配对，参加导师所在机构的夏季研究。学生很可能是计算机科学或计算机工程专业的学生，尽管这不是必需的。CRA是一个由美国和加拿大计算机科学、计算机工程和工业实验室的学术部门组成的协会，从事基础计算研究。CRA的使命是代表和通知计算研究社区，并支持和促进其利益。Weingarten博士是CRA的执行董事。O'Rourke博士是该项目的学术带头人，他是马萨诸塞州史密斯学院计算机科学系的系主任。

In an effort to increase the number of women entering graduate school in CISE disciplines, the Computing Research Association (CRA) is proposing a distributed mentoring project where 20- 30 female undergraduate students will be matched with a number of female professors in CISE research areas each year, to participate in summer of research at the mentor's institution. The students will most likely be computer science or computer engineering majors although this is not required. The CRA is an association of U.S. and Canadian academic departments of Computer Science and Computer Engineering and Industrial Laboratories engaging in basic computing research. The mission of CRA is to represent and inform the computing research community and to support and promote its interests. Dr. Weingarten is the Executive Director of CRA. Dr. O'Rourke, the academic leader of this project, is the Department Chair of Computer Science at Smith College, Massachusetts.
