ITWF: Factors Concerning Recruitment and Retention of Women Graduate Students in Computer Science and Engineering

EIA-0203127 Cuny，Janice E.Aspray，WilliamCohoon，JoanneJesse，Jolene Computing Research Association职务： 有关招聘和保留女性研究生在计算机科学和工程的因素ITWF奖提供支持计算研究协会（CRA）研究的一个重要方面的最大的代表性不足的群体在IT劳动力，研究生教育的妇女。 本项目利用先前关于在计算机科学与工程（CS E）研究生院招聘和留住女性的最佳实践报告（Janice Cuny和William Aspray，“Recruitment and Retention of Women Graduate Students in Computer Scienceand Engineering”，Computing Research Association，华盛顿，DC 2001）中积累的经验&，研究美国CS& E研究生课程，以确定和量化该课程的招聘和留住实践与其结果之间的联系。研究内容包括：对50个中国教育部博士生招生和留级的现状进行描述和评估&; 2招生对女性新生比例的影响; 3留级对女性博士生留级比例的影响; 4提供一套可供各院系进行自我评估的材料; 5对中国教育部博士生招生和留级的现状进行评估。对《最佳做法报告》中建议的做法的有效性和全面性进行评估;以及可以概括的关于招聘和留用做法及其对女研究生的影响之间的联系的结论。

EIA-0203127Cuny, Janice E.Aspray, WilliamCohoon, JoanneJesse, JoleneComputing Research AssociationTitle: Factors Concerning Recruitment and Retention of Women GraduateStudents in Computer Science and EngineeringThis ITWF award provides support to the Computing Research Association(CRA) to study an important aspect of the largest under-represented groupin the IT workforce, the graduate education of women. Using experiencegained in a previous Best Practice Report (Janice Cuny and William Aspray,"Recruitment and Retention of Women Graduate Students in Computer Scienceand Engineering", Computing Research Association, Washington, DC 2001) onrecruiting and retaining women in computer science and engineering (CS&E)graduate school, the project will study U.S. CS&E graduate programs inorder to identify and quantify links between the program's recruitment andretention practices and their outcomes.Results expected from the study include a description and assessment of theexisting recruitment and retention practices in 50 CS&E departments withdoctoral programs; a measure of the impact recruitment practices have onthe female proportion of new students enrolled; a measure of the impactretention practices have on the female proportion of students retainedthrough the doctorate; a set of materials that departments can use to makeself-assessments; an evaluation of the effectiveness and comprehensivenessof the practices recommended in the Best Practices Report; and findingsthat can be generalized on the link between recruitment and retentionpractices and their outcomes with respect to female graduate students.
