Workshop on Navigating and Leading Change

该提案# 1138615标题为“导航和领导变革研讨会”，是美国机械工程师协会内部社区发展的延续，该社区支持和指导来自代表性不足群体的研究人员。通过ASME举办的前一次研讨会侧重于建立网络和教授谈判技巧，此外还在研讨会期间促进网络的形成。该研讨会旨在为研究生，博士后和教职员工提供专业发展活动，并让他们有机会与各自领域的支持研究人员的国际网络建立联系。本次会议吸引了来自世界各地的1100名与会者。与会者中多数人对少数人和男性对女性的比例反映了机械工程专业中女性和少数民族的总体代表性较低。本次研讨会将继续努力扩大参与委员会的ASME提供专业发展机会，从代表性不足的群体的成员。扩大参与委员会的目标是制定、实施和监督新的和现有的活动，旨在扩大妇女和代表人数不足的少数群体对美国机械工程师学会设计工程部活动的参与。工作坊将介绍理解自我和改变的学习模式。学员们将带着对该系统理解和影响变革的方法的赞赏离开，并将他们所学的知识应用于职业生涯的不同情况。

This Proposal # 1138615 titles " Workshop on Navigating and Leading Change" is a continuation of the development of a community within the American Society of Mechanical Engineers that supports and mentors researchers from underrepresented groups. The previous workshop conducted through ASME focused on networking and teaching negotiation skills, in addition to facilitating the formation of networks during the workshop itself. The workshop is designed to provide graduate students, post-doc and faculty members with professional development activities and to give them the opportunity to make connections with an international network of supportive researchers in their field. This conference attracts up to 1100 attendees from all over the world. The proportion of majority-to-minority and male-to-female attendees at the conference reflects the overall low representation of women and minorities in the mechanical engineering profession. This workshop will continue the efforts of the Broadening Participation committee of the ASME to provide professional development opportunities to members from underrepresented groups. The goal of the Broadening Participation committee is to develop, implement and oversee new and existing activities aimed at broadening the participation of women and underrepresented minorities in the activities of Design Engineering Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. The workshop will introduce the Lifecycle model of understanding self and change. The participants will leave with an appreciation of this systems' approach to understanding and affecting change, and applying what they learn in different situations of their career.
