Materials engineers create new materials and improve existing materials. Everything is limited by the materials that are used to produce it. Materials engineers understand the relationship between the properties of a material and its internal structure — from the macro level down to the atomic level. The better the materials, the better the end result — it’s as simple as that.

Abstract

Research and recommendations have shown that advancements within a minority group benefit greatly from majority group involvement. With this philosophy in mind, the Women in Engineering Division (WIED) has facilitated and sponsored the development of a website (http://wied.asee.org/AdvTips.html) with the content largely driven by partnership with NSF ADVANCE [Institution]. This panel brings together researchers, advocates, and facilitators at various levels of academia to discuss the development and future of the Advocacy Tips Initiative. This paper augments the panel by providing a) a brief review of prior research into disparities in STEM faculty, b) successful examples that facilitate dialogues and improve workplace climates, c) information for an individual or administrative advocate, and d) strategies to gain awareness and wider adaptation of Advocacy Tips.
