A minority ratio of women students in science and engineering is sensitive to diversion. This means that they are more likely than male counterparts, with similar academic records, to leave science and engineering. Hence, a minority ratio tends to further diminish as the cohort advances through a program (Williams and Emerson 2001). The university traditions that militate against women's participation propagate through universitytrained teachers back into high schools where career decisions are made. Thus the university continues to exert a critical influence on the proportion of women in science and engineering in all sectors. Traditional institutions such as the university will not change spontaneously. Strong leadership and proactive diversity measures are required to achieve change. This chapter is addressed to deans and other academic leaders who are committed to change, and who have specific objectives for their institution to improve the participation of women. It offers four sample objectives, each followed by set of actions that will move an organization toward the objective.

The motivation for this handbook is that women in science and engineering, while very important (chapter 20), are persistently in the minority in many areas. Most sections in the book are aimed at assisting women already in science and engineering. This section is for people who want to take action toward a better gender balance. It presents a high-level strategy within which programs, projects, and everyday actions can be directed toward positive change. This section is adapted from the vision statement of the 1997-2002 NSERC/Petro-Canada Chair forWomen in Science and Engineering, Atlantic Region in Canada (Williams and Emerson 1998).
这本手册的动机是,科学和工程领域的女性虽然非常重要(第20章),但在许多领域一直处于少数地位。书中的大部分章节旨在帮助已经在科学和工程领域工作的女性。这一部分是为那些想要采取行动实现更好的性别平衡的人准备的。它提出了一个高层次的策略,在这个策略中,计划、项目和日常行动可以被导向积极的变化。本节改编自1997-2002年加拿大大西洋地区NSERC/加拿大石油公司科学与工程女性主席的愿景声明(Williams and Emerson 1998)。
