To Recruit and Advance: Women Students and Faculty in Science and Engineering identifies and discusses better practices for recruitment, retention, and promotion for women scientists and engineers in academia. Seeking to move beyond yet another catalog of challenges facing the advancement of women in academic science and engineering, this book describes actions actually taken by universities to improve the situation for women. Serving as a guide, it examines the following: Recruitment of female undergraduate and graduate students; Ways of reducing attrition in science and engineering degree programs in the early undergraduate years; Improving retention rates of women at critical transition points from undergraduate to graduate student, from graduate student to postdoc, from postdoc to first faculty position; Recruitment of women for tenure-track positions; Increasing the tenure rate for women faculty; and, Increasing the number of women in administrative positions. This guide offers numerous solutions that may be of use to other universities and colleges and will be an essential resource for anyone interested in improving the position of women students, faculty, deans, provosts, and presidents in science and engineering. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Women in science|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010118893 650 0 Women scientists|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh95009114 650 0 Science|xVocational guidance|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85118607|zUnited States.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 0 Science|xStudy and teaching (Higher)|zUnited States. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008111354 650 0 Women in engineering|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010118894 650 0 Women engineers|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85147528|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n78095330-781 650 0 Engineering|xVocational guidance|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85043202|zUnited States.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 0 Engineering|xStudy and teaching (Higher)|zUnited States. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008119509 650 7 Women in science.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1177977 650 7 Women scientists.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1178507 650 7 Science|xVocational guidance.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1108513 650 7 Science|xStudy and teaching (Higher)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1108455 650 7 Women in engineering.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1177886 650 7 Women engineers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1177630 650 7 Engineering|xVocational guidance.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/910446 650 7 Engineering|xStudy and teaching (Higher)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/910433 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 710 2 National Research Council (U.S.).|bCommittee on the Guide to Recruiting and Advancing Women Scientists and Engineers in Academia.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2006039927 776 08 |iPrint version:|tTo recruit and advance.|dWashington, D.C. : National Academies Press, ©2006|z0309095212 |z0309547156|w(DLC) 2006016786|w(OCoLC)70060944 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=165352|zOnline eBook.
