Olio

A compilation of papers that summarize research on selected topics, meant to give the reader a briefing with authoritative references. All were written by researchers for a general reader, and reviewed by peers for content, accuracy and balance. They were commissioned by The Assessing Women and Men in Engineering Project, The Society of Women Engineers, and The Center for the Advancement of Scholarship on Engineering Education of the National Academy of Engineering. Funded by the National Science Foundation. Individual papers may be downloaded free (after registration) from http://www.engr.psu.edu/AWE/ARPresources.aspx There are two related books: “Olio” collects overviews of research around 10 pages each. “Olio Digest” collects information sheets which are two-page versions on the same topics.
