Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you and/or members of your research group/engineering 
firm to apply to participate in the 6th in a series of professional development 
workshops offered by the Broadening Participation Committee of ASME's Division 
of Engineering Design (DED) for the annual IDETC.  This year, our workshop will 
focus on "Mutual Mentoring: Moving Beyond One-Size-Fits-All Mentoring" 
with speaker  Dr. Mary Dean Sorcinelli (see her bio at: 
https://www.umass.edu/ctfd/about/sorcinelli.shtml) It is listed as W8 for this 
year's conference.  
 
The goal of the workshop on Mutual Mentoring is to provide a professional 
development experience and opportunity for community and networking within the 
Design Engineering Division (DED) of ASME that supports and mentors 
underrepresented groups. The workshop is designed to provide graduate students 
and faculty members from underrepresented groups with professional development 
activities and to give them the opportunity to make connections with an 
international network of supportive researchers in their field. In addition to 
skill development, this workshop will support the development of a network of 
people within the community from underrepresented groups.
 
Mentoring offers a vital contribution to a successful academic career, 
particularly for women and faculty of color. The most common form of mentoring 
has been a “traditional model,” which is defined by a one-on-one relationship 
between an experienced faculty member who guides the career development of an 
early career faculty member. Recent literature, however, has indicated the 
emergence of new, more flexible approaches to mentoring in which faculty build 
a network of “multiple mentors” who can address a variety of career 
competencies. In this interactive session, you will recognize potential 
roadblocks to success in an academic career; explore both traditional mentoring 
and emerging models of network-based mentoring; identify your mentoring goals, 
“map” your own mentoring networks; and discuss best practices in mentoring, 
including how to be your own best mentor.

Participants MUST complete the application at the link below to be considered 
for this workshop and must also register for the conference as soon as possible 
to ensure full consideration. Student and postdoctoral participants will be 
reimbursed approximately $150 for travel expenses to attend the workshop.
