Workshop: Executive Leadership in Academic Technology and Engineering (ELATE), Winter 2012 - Spring 2013, Philadelphia, PA

1213464/ dan学术技术与工程行政领导（ELATE）项目将解决目前在学术工程领域加强女性领导地位的迫切需求。ELATE将在全国范围内从广泛的工程学科和学术机构招聘处于职业生涯中期的教师（副教授或正教授水平）。ELATE研究员的提名必须由其所在大学的一位领导（通常是工程学院院长）提交和赞助，从而确保机构对其职业发展的承诺，并展示机构对其晋升和成功的承诺。这个每年进行一次的为期一年的兼职项目将基于三个组成部分：教学：学员将在跨学科的同行团队中工作，培养管理和领导技能方面的能力。教学主题将在为期三周的研讨会中介绍，这些研讨会在整个奖学金年度中间隔，并在全年中建立。机构：研究员将与主要机构领导人进行访谈，以熟悉他们大学的运作，并为他们提供机构知名度。研究员还将与机构领导人一起制定一个机构行动项目（IAP），以解决研究或领导方面的需求，并为职业发展提供途径。iap的例子包括建立一个新的研究中心，为一个部门或单位制定战略计划，或者开发一个新的学术项目。指导和网络：在项目的所有阶段（包括机构组成部分），研究员将得到高级工程领导、基准教练和同行的指导。他们可以选择与他们的同行团队保持联系（使用提供的会议线路），并且随着项目的成熟，与全国其他ELATE毕业生保持联系。这三个相互关联的组成部分将形成一个独特而有效的领导力项目，与其他现有的针对工程女性的领导力项目有很大不同。它是模仿非常成功的ELAM（学术医学行政领导）方案，该方案针对学术医学、牙科和公共卫生领域的妇女。拉丁美洲医学院的校友现在有700多名，其中包括50%的女牙科院长和25%的女医学院院长。ELATE将在全国范围内增加学术工程领域的女性领导者的数量，同时为她们提供必要的技能和长期的指导和网络系统。作为一个循环项目，它将帮助培养一批有能力的女性工程领导者。

1213464/ DanThe Executive Leadership in Academic Technology and Engineering (ELATE) program will address the currently acute need for a stronger presence of women in leadership positions in academic engineering. ELATE will recruit, nationally, faculty in mid-career (at the associate or full professor level) from a broad range of engineering disciplines and academic institutions. Nominations of ELATE fellows must be submitted and sponsored by a leader in their university typically the Dean of Engineering - thereby ensuring institutional commitment to their career development and demonstrating institutional commitment to their promotion and success. The part-time, annually recurring, year-long program will be based on three components:Instructional: Fellows will build competencies in management and leadership skills, while working in interdisciplinary peer teams. Instructional topics will be introduced during three week-long workshops interspaced throughout the fellowship year, and built upon throughout the year.Institutional: Fellows will conduct interviews with key institution leaders to get familiarized with the workings of their university, and provide them with institutional visibility. Fellows will also develop an Institutional Action Project (IAP) in conjunction with an institutional leader, to address a need in research or leadership and provide a path for career development. Examples of IAPs include the initiation of a new research center, development of a strategic plan for a department or unit, or the development of a new academic program.Mentoring and networking: Fellows will be mentored during all stages of the program (including the institutional components) by senior engineering leaders, benchmark coaches, and peers. They could choose to stay in contact with their peer teams (using a conference line provided) and, as the program matures, with other ELATE graduates across the nation.These three linked components will result in a unique and effective leadership program that differs significantly from other, currently available leadership programs for engineering women. It is modeled after the highly successful ELAM (Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine) program for women in academic medicine, dentistry and public health. ELAM alumnae now number over 700 and include 50% of all women deans of dentistry and 25% of all women deans of medical schools.ELATE will increase, nation-wide, the numbers of women leaders in academic engineering, while providing them with the necessary skills and a long-term mentoring and networking system. As a recurring program, it will help build over time a significant cohort of capable women engineering leaders.
