Thanks Erinn for the thumbs up and to everyone for letting me post this invitation to the list!
--------------- I thought some of you who are interested in issues surrounding women in Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) might want to take a look at the project I have been working on towards fulfilling the requirements for my graduate degree in the Master of Arts in Communications & Technology Program at the University of Alberta: http://www.wisest.ualberta.ca/resourcenetwork.cfm Recently the network was added to the Women in Scholarship, Engineering, Science and Technology (WISEST) website at the University of Alberta. This Resource Network was designed by myself, and is based upon a study conducted by the WISEST Research Team. In 2003, the WISEST Research Team completed a study looking at the retention of women in SET related careers. Findings from this research included a proposal for the development of a computer mediated, Resource Network for women in SET. The project I created is a prototype developed based upon the findings of this project. It includes information on career-decision making, mentoring, and women's perspectives on their career paths in SET fields. Individuals (men and women)with a direct link to issues surrounding women in SET are being encouraged to complete an online survey designed to test the usability and effectiveness of the network. As this is a pilot test, we will be using your feedback to help improve the material. Constructive critique is very much welcome! If you would like to take a peek at it (and by all means provide feedback through the site) you can find it at http://www.wisest.ualberta.ca/resourcenetwork.cfm The electronic survey is located at http://www.wisest.ualberta.ca/survey.cfm All the best, and I hope some of you find the information contained in the resource network helpful or beneficial.
