Building Partnerships and Pathways to Address the Foundational Grand Challenge for Engineering Education - Concrete Steps towards Broadening Participation

提案# 1144852标题：建立伙伴关系和途径，以解决工程教育的基本重大挑战-扩大参与的具体步骤。p.i.。佛罗里达国际大学工程与计算机学院（FIU）拟于2012年2月在佛罗里达州迈阿密举办一场全国研讨会，主题为建立伙伴关系和途径，以应对工程教育的根本性重大挑战，具体步骤，扩大参与。研讨会将重点确定合作伙伴关系和途径，以帮助增加美国下一代工程劳动力的停滞供应，这些劳动力可以应对NAE工程方面的重大挑战。讲习班的具体目标如下：1 .确定需要采取的行动，以创造一种合作文化，满足下一代工程师的教育需求，包括一项行动计划，以振兴当前的工程教育实践，特别是在具有城市使命的大学；确定msi、hsi、hbcu、学区、社区学院、研究型大学、政府、行业和城市社区之间协同合作的最佳机会，以解决阻碍未来工程人才库扩展的障碍；和3。找出现有的最佳做法，证明在以下方面是有效的：(a)吸引少数族裔K-12学生学习工程专业，并提高他们获得工程学位的毕业率；(b)加强少数族裔学生进入研究生水平的工程教育和教师职位，以及成功的工程职业的渠道。讲习班将制定行动计划和白皮书，为供资机构制定路线图，并为所有利益攸关方提供明确的途径。研究结果将广泛传播，以提高人们对多元化工程劳动力必须做出的基本贡献的认识，以应对工程的重大挑战，以及能够切实解决工程教育的基本重大挑战的各种积极合作伙伴关系。拟议的路线图将有助于指导工程教育的利益相关者，包括资助机构，调整他们的资源，增加下一代工程劳动力的停滞供应，特别是在城市环境中代表性不足的少数民族。这些活动也将有助于增加来自HIS/HBCU/MSI的教师数量。包括严重代表性不足和少数族裔的教师，他们将成为美国下一代工程专业学生的榜样

Proposal # 1144852Title: Building Partnerships and Pathways to Address the Foundational GrandChallenge for Engineering Education - Concrete Steps towardsBroadening Participation.P.I. Amir MirmiranFlorida International UniversityThe College of Engineering and Computing at Florida International University (FIU) proposes to host a national workshop on Building Partnerships and Pathways to Address the Foundational Grand Challenge for Engineering Education Concrete Steps Towards Broadening Participation in February 2012 in Miami, Florida. The workshop will focus on identifying partnerships and pathways that will help increase the stagnant supply of the next generation of engineering workforce in the U.S. who can address the NAE engineering grand challenges. The specific objectives of the workshop are the following:1. To identify actions needed to create a culture of collaboration on the educational needs of the next generation of engineers, including a plan of action for revitalizing the current engineering education practices, in particular at universities with an urban mission;2. To identify best opportunities for synergistic partnerships among MSIs, HSIs, HBCUs, school districts, community colleges, research extensive universities, government, the industry, and the urban communities to address the barriers hindering the expansion of the future engineering talent pool; and 3. To identify the existing Best Practices shown to be effective in (a) attracting minority K-12 students to engineering and increasing their graduation rates with engineering degrees; and (b) strengthening the pipeline of minority students to graduate-level engineering education and faculty positions, as well as successful engineering careers.The workshop will result in action plans and white papers a road map for funding agencies and a clear pathway for all stakeholders. The results will be circulated widely to raise awareness of the fundamental contributions that a diversified engineering workforce must make to address the Grand Challenges for Engineering as well as the kinds of active partnerships that can realistically address the foundational grand challenge for engineering education. The proposed road map will help guide the stakeholders in engineering education, including the funding agencies, to align their resources and increase the stagnant supply of the next generation of engineering workforce, particularly within underrepresented minorities in urban settings. Such activities will also help increase the number of faculty from HIS/HBCU/MSI?s including severely underrepresented and minority faculty who will serve as role models for the next generation of engineering students in the U.S.Omnia El-HakimDirector for Diversity and Outreach
