Engineering Research in U.S. Higher Education: Characteristics, Trends, and Policy Options

这项研究的主要目的是制定一个详细的 了解工程研究活动的性质 在美国大学进行。 该研究将描述 美国工程学院的教职员工， 工作人员和学生进行，以阐明关键问题 关于研究在工程教育中的作用， 它与工业和政府的关系。 实现这一 目的，将制定一个分类方案， 工程学校的研究沿着几个维度，这将是 应用于分析工程学院的研究随着时间的推移，比较 并将今天的情况与10年和20年的情况进行对比 前 将对工程学院进行全国性调查， 工程学院研究单位主任获得 关于工程学院的性质和成果的信息 research. 平行研究将检查工程的影响， 学校研究利用结构化内容分析的书面 输出和其他技术。 将制定政策选择， 大学、工业界和政府在一项政策中的考虑 将举办讲习班，讨论若干关键问题 关于美国高等教育中的工程研究， 为最终项目报告提供投入。 9154555 摩根 这项研究的主要目的是制定一个详细的 了解工程研究活动的性质 在美国大学进行。 该研究将描述 美国工程学院的教职员工， 工作人员和学生进行，以阐明关键问题 关于研究在工程教育中的作用， 它与工业和政府的关系。 实现这一 目的，将制定一个分类方案， 工程学校的研究沿着几个维度，这将是 应用于分析工程学院的研究随着时间的推移，比较 并将今天的情况与10年和20年的情况进行对比 前 将对工程学院进行全国性调查， 工程学院研究单位主任获得 关于工程学院的性质和成果的信息 research. 平行研究将检查工程的影响， 学校研究利用结构化内容分析的书面 输出和其他技术。 将制定政策选择， 大学、工业界和政府在一项政策中的考虑 将举办讲习班，讨论若干关键问题 关于美国高等教育中的工程研究， 为最终项目报告提供投入。

A primary objective of this study is to develop a detailed understanding of the nature of engineering research activities carried out in U.S. universities. The study will characterize the research that U.S. engineering school faculty members, research staff, and students undertake in order to illuminate key issues concerning the role of research within engineering education and its relation to industry and government. To achieve this objective, a classification scheme will be devised for categorizing engineering school research along several dimensions which will be applied to analyze engineering school research over time, comparing and contrasting the situation today with condition 10 and 20 years ago. National surveys will be conducted of engineering faculty and directors of engineering school research units to obtain information on the nature and outcomes of engineering school research. Parallel studies will examine the impacts of engineering school research utilizing structured content analysis of written outputs and other techniques. Policy options will be developed for consideration by universities, industry and government at a Policy Workshop that will be convened to address several key issues concerning engineering research in U.S. higher education and to provide inputs to the final project report. 9154555 Morgan A primary objective of this study is to develop a detailed understanding of the nature of engineering research activities carried out in U.S. universities.
