Conference: IEC Asset Driven Equitable Partnership (ADEP) Workshop

IEC资产驱动的公平伙伴关系（ADEP）研讨会为包容性工程联盟（IEC）的核心成员提供了一个机会，与白人主导机构（pwi）、政府和行业的合作者合作，探索识别、利用和建立现有研究和教育资产的想法。IEC的使命是通过与少数族裔服务机构、工业和政府机构建立伙伴关系，使少数族裔服务机构（msi）的电气和计算机工程（ECE）项目培养出更多、准备更充分的毕业生。这些伙伴关系必须是公平的，要倾听所有人的声音，确定和利用所有相关资产。这促使独立选举委员会探讨什么是资产驱动的公平伙伴关系，以及如何发展和维持这种伙伴关系。这次讲习班将是执行独立教育委员会内部发展的想法的一个重要步骤，通过更充分和富有成效地利用基于资产的公平伙伴关系，使更多和更有准备的少数族裔工程师毕业，集体解决共同的机会和问题；提高msi的效率和生产力；并发展可持续和有效的基础设施，以支持少数民族学生，教师和工作人员。随着时间的推移，IEC的工作将会增加，正在开发的模型可以复制并用于其他学科。包容性工程联盟（IEC）的整体愿景是成为少数民族服务机构的合作，共同推进欧洲经委会企业。很明显，有必要让一组具有代表性的核心MSI成员与来自pwi、行业和政府的潜在同事在同一个房间里，专门解决真正合作的障碍，并确定双方实现成功所需的长期投资类型。研讨会参与者将制定战略，与IEC核心成员、附属成员和公司成员一起创建组织支持结构和必要的活动，以实现IEC的宏伟愿景。要使这种合作发挥作用，合作伙伴必须相互了解，相互承诺，相互投资，并为彼此的成功承担责任。公平的伙伴关系是建立在相互投资、相互尊重和明确确定每个伙伴的资产的基础上的。这包括有形资源，如资金或专业知识，以及无形资产，如关系和网络。当合作伙伴彼此公平合作时，所有的声音都会在决策过程中得到倾听和考虑，合作伙伴就会共同努力，取得双方商定的具体成果。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The IEC Asset Driven Equitable Partnerships (ADEP) Workshop offers Core Members of the Inclusive Engineering Consortium (IEC) the opportunity to explore ideas for identifying, utilizing and building on existing assets for research and education in cooperation with collaborators from Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs), government and industry. The mission of IEC is to enable electrical and computer engineering (ECE) programs at minority-serving institutions (MSIs) produce more and better prepared graduates by building partnerships with PWIs, industry, and government agencies. These partnerships must be equitable with all voices being heard and all relevant assets identified and utilized. This has led IEC to address what makes an asset-driven equitable partnership and how to develop and sustain such partnerships. This workshop will be a major step in implementing ideas developed within IEC to collectively address common opportunities and problems by more fully and productively utilizing Asset Based Equitable Partnerships to graduate more and better prepared minority engineers; increase efficiency and productivity at MSIs; and develop a sustainable and effective infrastructure to support minority students, faculty and staff. In time, the IEC effort will grow and the model being developed can be replicated and implemented for other disciplines.The overall Inclusive Engineering Consortium (IEC) vision is to be a collaboration of Minority Serving Institutions Working as One to Advance the ECE Enterprise. It has become clear that there is a need to get a representative set of Core MSI Members in the same room as potential colleagues from PWIs, industry and government to specifically address the barriers to real collaboration and identify the kind of long-term investments required on both sides to achieve success. Workshop participants will develop strategies that join IEC Core, Affiliate, and Corporate members together to create the organizational support structure and activities necessary to realize IEC’s grand vision. For such collaborations to work, the partners must know one another, commit to one another, invest in one another, and take responsibility for one another’s success. Equitable partnerships are built on mutual investment, respect, and clear identification of each partner's assets. This includes tangible resources like funding or expertise and intangible assets like relationships and networks. When partners work equitably with one another, all voices are heard and considered in decision-making, and partners work together to achieve specific, mutually agreed upon outcomes.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
