IDA/WG: An Invitational Conference for Female Faculty and Graduate Students in Engineering

小行星9554196 工程系女教师和研究生邀请会议将开始，以解决美国工程系女教师人数少的问题。 这一举措将提高所有工程系主任的认识，使他们认识到需要改善体制环境，以促进女教师的发现、聘用和晋升，并审查女研究生的录取和资助标准。 会议将重点关注女教师和研究生的专业发展，确定提高赠款写作和技能的战略，增加他们的出版物和与同事的合作，并提高他们的指导和咨询技能，这将使他们的学生受益。 共有30名女教师和30名女研究生将参加会议。 将进行评估，以确定会议的益处，并确定是否需要在更大范围内提供这种培训。 该项目的预期成果是在工程基础设施方面产生积极的变化，这将对男女教师和研究生同样有利。 为此，会议记录，包括一套建议，以促进这一进程将分发给所有美国工程院长，与会者和其他女教师谁是WEPAN，AWIS和ASEE的成员。 WEPAN，妇女在工程倡导者网络将继续标记，印刷和传播会议记录和建议后，赠款期结束。

9554196 Brainard An Invitational Conference for Female Faculty and Graduate Students in Engineering will begin to address the low representation of female faculty in engineering in the US. This initiative will increase the awareness of all deans of engineering regarding the need to improve the institutional climate to promote the identification, hiring and promotion of female faculty and to examine the admissions and funding criteria for female graduate students. The conference will focus on the professional development of female faculty and gradate students by identifying strategies to improve grant writing and skills, increase their publications and collaboration with colleagues, and to enhance their mentoring and advising skills which will benefit their students. A total of 30 will be female faculty and 30 female graduate students will participate in the conference. An assessment will be conducted to determine the benefit of the conference and to determine the need to offer this training on a broader scope. The anticipated outcome of this project is to effect a positive change in the engineering infrastructure which will be equally conductive to female and male faculty and graduate students. To this end, conference proceedings including a set of recommendations to facilitate this process will be disseminated to all US deans of engineering, participants and other female faculty who are members of WEPAN, AWIS and ASEE. WEPAN, Women in Engineering Advocates Network will continue to mark, print and disseminate the conference proceedings and recommendations after the grant period ends.
