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.

这项研究的一个主要目标是对美国大学开展的工程研究活动的性质有一个详细的了解。这项研究将突出美国工程学院教职员工、研究人员和学生开展的研究的特点，以阐明研究在工程教育中的作用及其与行业和政府的关系等关键问题。为了实现这一目标，将制定一个分类方案，从多个维度对工程学院的研究进行分类，并将其用于分析工程学院随着时间的推移而进行的研究，将目前的情况与10年前和20年前的情况进行比较和对比。将对工程学院教员和工程学院研究单位主任进行全国调查，以获得有关工程学院研究的性质和结果的信息。平行研究将利用书面输出的结构化内容分析和其他技术来审查工程学院研究的影响。将在政策研讨会上制定政策选项，供大学、行业和政府审议，该研讨会将召开，以解决与美国高等教育中的工程研究有关的几个关键问题，并为最终项目报告提供意见。9154555摩根这项研究的一个主要目标是对美国大学进行的工程研究活动的性质有一个详细的了解。这项研究将突出美国工程学院教职员工、研究人员和学生开展的研究的特点，以阐明研究在工程教育中的作用及其与行业和政府的关系等关键问题。为了实现这一目标，将制定一个分类方案，从多个维度对工程学院的研究进行分类，并将其用于分析工程学院随着时间的推移而进行的研究，将目前的情况与10年前和20年前的情况进行比较和对比。将对工程学院教员和工程学院研究单位主任进行全国调查，以获得有关工程学院研究的性质和结果的信息。平行研究将利用书面输出的结构化内容分析和其他技术来审查工程学院研究的影响。将在政策研讨会上制定政策选项，供大学、行业和政府审议，该研讨会将召开，以解决与美国高等教育中的工程研究有关的几个关键问题，并为最终项目报告提供意见。
