ADVANCE Leadership Award: Collaborative Research: Leadership Skills and Community Building Program for Junior Women Engineering Faculty in Engineering

这项工作的目标是为工程学科的初级女性教师建立一个区域组织，自我维持的领导力培训计划。研究者希望通过同时培训女性工程学院的领导能力和构建一个区域的同侪辅导网络，提高工程学院女性的工作绩效和满意度，从而增加留任率和晋升率。拟议的活动以在东北部进行的一项试点方案为基础，并将资助在大西洋中部举行的一系列为期三年的区域会议，这些会议将提供领导培训，促进联网，并将被用作该国其他区域的样板。这一拟议方案的具体目标是：1。通过体验式学习项目，培训初级女工程学院的领导能力、沟通能力和冲突管理能力；2. 2 .通过资深女性学术工程师的“局内人视角”，对女性进行学术教育；在工程领域的年轻女性教师中建立和促进同行指导和区域网络；和4。推动该项目在全美范围内的推广。

The goal of this proposed work is to establish a regionally-organized, self-sustaining leadership training program for junior women faculty in engineering disciplines. By simultaneously training women engineering faculty in leadership and constructing a regional peer-mentoring network, the investigators hope to increase job performance and satisfaction for academic women in engineering, thus increasing both retention and advancement. The proposed activity is based on a pilot program conducted in the Northeast and will fund a three-year series of regional meetings in the mid-Atlantic that will provide leadership training, facilitate networking, and will be used as a model for other regions of the country. The specific objectives of this proposed program are to: 1. Train junior women engineering faculty in leadership, communication and conflict management through an experiential learning program; 2. Educate women about the academy through an "insider's perspective" from a senior woman academic engineer;3. Enable and foster peer-mentoring and regional networking among junior women faculty in engineering; and 4. Promote the expansion of the program throughout the United States.
