Presentations from the October, 2006 Rice University NSF Advance Conference entitled "Negotiating the Ideal Faculty Position" are herein made available to the public. This workshop provided a unique opportunity for prospective women faculty to learn from established faculty leaders across all science and engineering disciplines.
This 3-day NSF Advance leadership workshop was designed to provide women in engineering and science with information and advice regarding professional advancement issues at all career levels, including, tenure, promotion and academic leadership roles. The workshop was organized in a Gordon Conference style format to allow for networking opportunities, ample discussion times, and formulation of strategies to enhance the opportunities for women to advance at Rice University.
In this video from Science City, Kerri-Ann Richard, an environmental engineer, describes how she became interested in the field and why it is important to clean up the environment by removing contaminants from soil and ground water.
Cartoon characters from the NASA Space Place Web site, present their own 6-7 minute talk show live from the Space Place Clubhouse. The show presents space program scientists and engineers as role models for kids and encourages them to pursue their dreams. In each episode, the guest presents a short science or technology concept, and also talks about their job, their hobbies, and how they got interested in a career in science or engineering. In this episode, thermal engineer Donya Douglas of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center talks about her challenging job to design ways to keep the three tiny Space Technology 5 spacecraft at the right operating temperature in space, without adding much to their mass or need for electrical power.
