1042980 SmithDescription: This award is to support a US- Turkey workshop on Empowering Women in Industrial Engineering Academia, to be held in Istanbul, Turkey in March 2012. The organizers are Dr. Alice E. Smith, Department of Industrial Engineering (IE) at Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama and Dr. Dr. Zeki Ayag of Kadir Has University (KHU) in Istanbul, Turkey. The workshop builds upon a highly successful prior workshop held in Turkey in 2008. It allows broader participation by women from the Middle East, and provides emphasis on both research and teaching. There will be pre-workshop activities to help participants interact leading to a more productive and more effective meeting. A website will be developed to sustain the collaboration efforts. Significant support is provided by KHU for the logistics of the meeting. A planned tour at Mercedes-Benz facility in Turkey will provide a good perspective to the workshop participants as the majority of students that they mentor enter the field of industry as opposed to academia. Assessment of the workshop will occur at the conclusion of the workshop and 12-18 months afterward which will provide valuable insight.Intellectual merit: Articulation of and answers to the issues surrounding international collaborations and advancement in industrial engineering academia from a female perspective is needed. From the U.S. perspective, insights and approaches can be learned from Middle Eastern counterparts, who for the most part are more progressive in recruiting and advancing women in engineering academia despite their more traditional cultural heritages. From the Middle Eastern perspective, participating successfully in the international scholarly research arena and enabling international collaborations are areas where benefits can be gained from the U.S. participants. IE research, practice and education would benefit greatly from having successful female role models in the field and internationally, and the linkage between research and teaching is essential for success in academia. Many of the richer and more interesting industrial engineering research topics such as sustainable engineering lend themselves to a broader, more international examination, and this workshop will help to facilitate this need. Broader impacts: The workshop targets a very wide segment of industrial engineering women in academia from the U.S. and several Middle Eastern nations. Increasing the rate of female PhD production and recruitment into engineering would impact both engineering education and practice. The Turkish experience in terms of the fraction of female faculty is an interesting phenomenon and the creation of a strong education a research bond between US academics and their Turkish counterparts can encourage this development. The workshop will be an unusual opportunity for in depth interaction among the U.S. participants and Turkish and Middle Eastern academics, and will enhance future collaboration and sharing among the countries and will promote advancement of the important topic of women in engineering academia. This project is being funded by the Diversity and Outreach Prrogram in ENG and by the Office of International Science and Engineering.

1042980 SmithDescription：该奖项旨在支持一项关于赋予工业工程学术界妇女权力的美国土耳其讲习班，该讲习班将于2012年3月在土耳其伊斯坦布尔举行。组织者是工业工程部（IE）的Alice E. Smith博士（IE）奥本大学，奥本，阿拉巴马州和Kadir的Zeki Ayag博士在土耳其伊斯坦布尔拥有大学（Khu）。该研讨会建立在2008年在土耳其举行的非常成功的先前研讨会的基础上。它允许中东妇女更广泛地参与，并强调研究和教学。将进行工作前活动，以帮助参与者进行互动，从而实现更有效，更有效的会议。将开发一个网站来维持协作工作。 KHU为会议的后勤提供了重大支持。在土耳其的梅赛德斯 - 奔驰工厂进行的巡回演出将为研讨会参与者提供良好的视角，因为他们指导的大多数学生都进入了行业领域，而不是学术界。 研讨会的评估将在研讨会结束时和12-18个月的结束时进行，这将提供有价值的见解。智能优点：需要从女性的角度来表达和答案。 从美国的角度来看，可以从中东同行中学到的见解和方法，尽管他们在招募和推进工程学术界的妇女中，但她们尽管他们的传统文化遗产更加传统，但在大多数情况下，他们在招募和推进妇女方面都有进步。从中东的角度来看，成功参加国际学术研究领域并实现国际合作是可以从美国参与者那里获得福利的领域。 IE研究，实践和教育将使在该领域和国际上成功的女性榜样受益匪浅，研究与教学之间的联系对于学术界的成功至关重要。许多更富有，更有趣的工业工程研究主题，例如可持续工程，将自己进行更广泛，更国际化的考试，该研讨会将有助于促进这一需求。更广泛的影响：该研讨会针对美国和几个中东国家的学术界的工业工程女性的广泛范围。提高女性博士学位生产和招聘工程的比率将影响工程教育和实践。在女教师的比例方面，土耳其的经历是一个有趣的现象，并且创建强大的教育是美国学者与他们的土耳其同行之间的研究结合可以鼓励这一发展。该研讨会将是美国参与者以及土耳其和中东学者之间进行深入互动的非同寻常的机会，并将增强国家之间未来的合作和共享，并将促进工程学院中妇女重要的话题的发展。 该项目是由ENG和国际科学与工程办公室的多样性和外展培训资助的。
