Inhalt: "Seit rund 20 Jahren sind Bemühungen zu verzeichnen, mehr Frauen für technische und naturwissenschaftliche Studiengänge zu gewinnen, bislang aber nicht von Erfolg gekrönt. Dies ist nicht zuletzt darauf zurückzuführen, so die Sicht der Autorinnen, dass Frauen mit naturwissenschaftlichen und technischen Studienabschlüssen nach wie vor erhebliche Probleme bei ihrer Etablierung in den entsprechenden Berufsfeldern haben." (Autorenreferat)

Frauen in FuE im Spiegel von Patenten
Titelübersetzung:Women in R&D reflected in patents
Autor/in:
Greif, Siegfried
Quelle: FuE-Info, (2004) Nr. 2, S. 8-9
Details
Inhalt: "Seit einigen Jahren nimmt der Anteil von Frauen, die im Bereich von Forschung und Entwicklung (FuE) tätig sind, deutlich zu. Diese Entwicklung ist in Hochschulen, außeruniversitaren Forschungsinstituten und im Wirtschaftssektor zu beobachten. Sie findet naturgemäß auch einen Niederschlag in Patentaktivitäten. Naturgemäß deshalb, weil Erfindungen und Patente regelmäßig die Ergebnisse naturwissenschaftlich-technischer FuE sind. So besteht zwischen dem FuE-Input und dem Patent-Output ein enger Zusammenhang, der nicht nur plausibler theoretischer, sondern auch konkreter, zahlenmäßig belegter Natur ist." (Autorenreferat)

Inhalt: "Women today constitute over half of the U.S. population and almost half of its overall workforce, yet they make up less than a quarter of the science and engineering workforce. Many historical and social factors contribute to this discrepancy, and numerous individual, institutional, and governmental attempts have been made to redress it. However, many of the efforts to promote, include, and engage girls and women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and professions have been made in isolation. At Kansas State University, the authors have begun a systemic effort to increase the participation of girls and women in STEM. This article describes the creation and initial activities of a network of partners that includes universities, school districts, corporations, governmental agencies, and nonprofit organizations, assembled under the aegis of a project supported by funding from the National Science Foundation."

"Like a family": what works to create friendly and respectful student-faculty interactions

Inhalt: "The physics community has been concerned about low participation by women for many years. Although some progress has been made, the percentage of women in undergraduate physics is less than half that in mathematics and chemistry. The authors conducted site visits to nine undergraduate physics departments, five with high participation by women and four that are typical of the national average, to learn "what works" in attracting and retaining women as undergraduate physics majors. The results show that friendly and informal relationships between faculty members and students are crucial. These relationships are counterproductive, however, when faculty members transgress appropriate student-faculty boundaries. The authors analyze visits to historically Black colleges and universities, which are extraordinarily productive of female scientists, to learn what works in their department cultures. The authors draw on these site visits to describe models of healthy, supportive, and respectful relationships between faculty members and students." (author's abstract)

Widening paths to success, improving the environment, and moving toward lessons learned from the experiences of Powre and CBL awardees
Autor/in:
Rosser, Sue V.; Daniels, Jane Z.
Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 10 (2004) No. 2, S. 131-148
Details
Inhalt: "To better understand the barriers and discouragements encountered by female faculty members in science and engineering, this article compares the experience of National Science Foundation-funded Professional Opportunities for Women in Research and Education (POWRE) awardees and Clare Boothe Luce (CBL) Professorship recipients. Because most POWRE awardees work at research institutions, and many CBL professors teach at small liberal arts colleges, this study helps in understanding the experiences of female faculty members across a broad spectrum of academic settings. Their experiences suggest positive changes in institutional policies or practices to increase the satisfaction, retention, and success of female faculty members infields in which they are the least well represented. The retention of female faculty members becomes critical for attracting undergraduate students as they consider the wisdom of choosing careers in academia." (author's abstract)

Closing the gender gap in technical disciplines : an investigative study
Autor/in:
Gokhale, Anu A.; Stier, Ken
Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 10 (2004) No. 2, S. 30-39
Details
Inhalt: "The goal of this study was to investigate the efficacy of curriculum and instructional techniques in a technical core course to create a more conducive learning environment for women. The technical core course introduced technology majors to mechanical systems, electronics, and fluid power principles through lectures and laboratory work. Female students already enrolled in the department and female alumnae of the program were surveyed. The students' responses to the survey showed that although the female participants in the study were pleased with the instructors, the curriculum, and the instruction they received, they had recommendations for modifying the instruction."

Inhalt: "Over the past 20 years, colleges and universities across the country have developed Women in Engineering (WIE) and Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) programs as resources to promote the recruitment and retention of women in college engineering. As part of the Women's Experiences in College Engineering project, a series of interviews were conducted with WIE and WISE directors at 26 colleges and universities in the United States. The results of these interviews were compiled to gain an understanding of the structure of WIE and WISE programs and the experience and advice that program directors have for others who may be interested in such programs."

Marra, Rose M.; Bogue, Barbara

Details
Inhalt: "Women in engineering (WIE) programs work to recruit and retain women in undergraduate engineering programs and are a crucial part of the nation's effort to attract more women into engineering professions. For WIE programs to be maximally effective, they must have access to validated assessment instruments for measuring the effectiveness of their recruitment and retention activities. The Assessing Women in Engineering (AWE) project, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, aims to develop such instruments. This article describes the AWE project's unique collaboration between a WIE director and an assessment professional to develop exportable assessment instruments and models for WIE programs nationwide, thus allowing them to assess their programs' activities and ultimately provide data for making well-informed evaluation decisions."
