Epistemologies of workplace change: transforming gender relations in engineering

工程师的严重短缺威胁着富国和穷国的可持续发展。全球变暖和矿业繁荣加剧了澳大利亚的这种情况，最终制约了国家未来经济发展和长期繁荣的能力。女性可能是未来工程师的重要来源，但目前这个行业既没有吸引她们，也没有留住她们。这一涉及国际合作的项目将产生一种新的概念模式，旨在重新解决这一问题。一项关键成果将是在工程及相关行业制定更有效率和更有效的性别平等政策。

The severe shortage of engineers threatens sustainable development in rich and poor countries alike. The situation is exacerbated in Australia by global warming and the mining boom, ultimately constraining the national capacity for future economic development and long-term prosperity. Women are potentially an important source of future engineers, but they are currently neither attracted to nor retained within the profession in significant numbers. This project, involving international collaboration, will generate a new conceptual model designed to re-dress this problem. A key outcome will be more efficient and effective gender equity policies in engineering and related industries.
