MPWG: Awareness, Skills, and Mentoring Add Up to Success for Girls in Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Careers

小行星9553486 针对11年级和12年级高中女生的鲍尔州立大学项目有两个重点，即科学、工程和数学领域的职业意识和技能发展。 其主要目标是：提高高中女生对SEM职业的认识，向她们介绍SEM工作中的榜样，让她们与SEM导师合作研究问题，并积极影响她们对职业的选择。 通过研讨会、工业现场参观和小组讨论，女孩们将了解SEM的职业和就业机会--她们需要什么以及如何实现。 该项目为所有女孩提供了机会，使她们能够掌握使用统计数据和技术的技能，以支持她们今后的研究工作。 在与SEM导师在大学合作，每个女孩将获得动手在大学实验室设置的研究经验。 之后，每个女孩将在现场资源教师和大学导师的支持下，通过互联网独立解决她所在学校的相关研究问题。 此外，女孩们将向同龄人传播SEM职业信息。 参与者应该离开住宅计划准备SEM职业知识，技术技能，将支持解决问题，并在使用发现的科学方法的经验。 他们将探索SEM职业生涯，并与这些领域的专业人士互动。 他们应该掌握使用电子表格、软件包、图形计算器、文字处理和互联网通信的技能。 他们还将参与由SEM导师和高中资源教师支持的小组和独立研究项目。 此外，他们应该建立起选择适当职业的信心和自尊，并成功地走上这条道路。

9553486 Perham The Ball State University project for high school girls in grades eleven and twelve has a dual focus of career awareness and skill development in the areas of science, engineering, and mathematics (SEM). Its major goals are: to increase the awareness of high school girls about careers in SEM, to introduce them to SEM role models on the job, to have them collaborate on a research problem with a SEM mentor, and to positively impact their choice of a career. Through seminars, industrial site visits, and panel discussions, the girls are to learn about SEM careers and job opportunities--what they require and how they are achieved. This project provides opportunities for all the girls to acquire skill in using statistics and technology to support their future research efforts. In collaboration with a SEM mentor at the University, each girls will gain hands-on research experience in a university laboratory setting. Afterward, each girl will independently solve a related research problem at her home school with the support of an on-site resource teacher and the University mentor, via Internet. In addition, the girls will disseminate SEM career information to their peers. Participants should leave the residential program prepared with a knowledge of SEM careers, technological skills that will support problem solving, and experience in using the scientific method of discovery. They will have explored SEM careers and interacted with professionals in these fields. They should have acquired skill in using spreadsheets, software packages, graphing calculators, word-processing, and Internet communications. They also will have engaged in group and independent research projects supported by SEM mentors and high school resource teachers. In addition, they should have developed the confidence and self-esteem to choose an appropriate career--and successfully embark upon it. ***
