Academic Leadership for Women in Engineering

建议#1143535标题：女性在工程领域的学术领导主要调查者：彼得·芬恩工程女性协会建议摘要：女性工程师协会(SWE)致力于在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域实现所有女性的成就和成功。S会员中的一个重要组成部分是学术界的女性。由于留住和提拔女性在学术界，特别是在工程学科领域仍然是一个巨大的挑战，这次研讨会将帮助教员获得基本的领导和管理技能。资深女性导师将在研讨会上与学员分享她们的经验。拟议的讲习班将为工程领域的女学者提供行政领导机会和关键技能，以支持她们的职业发展。将鼓励参与者在其组织内追求充分多样化的角色，以提供领导机会。研讨会将于2011年10月13日至15日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行的SWE？S年会上举行。此外，与会者将学习在学术界取得进步的良好做法，并为各机构之间的网络建立机会和机制。研讨会的具体目标是：？增加担任学术领导职务的女性人数？提供关键实践和信息，以加速和加强女性在学术领导职位上的成功？培养女性工程系领导的实践网络？发展有益于正在寻求领导角色的女性工程教员的导师关系。

Proposal # 1143535Title: Academic Leadership for Women in Engineering Principal Investigator: Peter FinnThe Society of Women in Engineering Proposal Summary: The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is committed to the achievement and success of all women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). An important segment of SWE?s membership consists of women in academia. Since retention and promotion of women in academia, especially within engineering disciplines continues to be a significant challenge, this workshop will assist faculty to acquire essential leadership and management skills. Senior women mentors will share their experiences with the participants during this workshop. The proposed workshop will offer executive leadership opportunities and key skills that will support career advancement for women academics in engineering. Participants will be encouraged to pursue the full diversity of roles within their organizations that offer opportunities for leadership. The workshop will be hosted in October 13-15, 2011 at SWE?s annual conference, WE11, in Chicago, IL. In addition, participants will learn sound practices in advancement in academia and develop opportunities and mechanisms for networking across institutions. Specific objectives of the workshop are: ? Increase the number of women in academic leadership positions ? Provide key practices and information that will accelerate and enhance the success of women in academic leadership positions ? Cultivate a network of practice for women engineering faculty leaders ? Develop mentor relationships that benefit women engineering faculty who are seeking leadership roles.
