The WOMEN IN ENGINEERING DIVISION (WIED) is seeking papers for the 2013 ASEE annual conference.
Topics of interest to WIED include the following areas related to women in engineering and/or technology: mentoring, recruitment and retention programs for women undergraduate and graduate students; mentoring, recruitment, retention, leadership and professional development activities for women faculty and administrators (including work/life balance and dual-career issues); workplace climate; innovative women’s programs; universities’ programs, policies or reviews (including Title IX); innovative programs that combine the recruitment and retention of women and minorities and their assessment; and new research that informs the development of programs and policies in these areas. Popular sessions at recent conferences also have included panels such as managing dual careers, sustainable and appropriate technology and its impact on the women of the world, and mini-workshops on topics such as bias in faculty searches. If you have ideas for panels and/or would be willing to help organize a panel, please contact the program chair. Panels that could be co-sponsored with other divisions are also welcome.
Authors should submit an abstract of 300 words or more on their paper topic. Click here for additional details. All ASEE divisions are publish to present. Authors of accepted abstracts must submit a full paper for review and acceptance in order to be included in the WIED program at the conference and in the conference proceedings. Panels must also submit an abstract and may submit a full paper.
The Women in Engineering Division is pleased to announce an opportunity to participate in a joint symposium with WEPAN (www.wepan.org) on Saturday, June 22, 2013. Workshop, mini-workshop and panel proposals and suggestions are welcome.
