U.S. Travel Grants Program for the 1998 International Conference on Engineering Education

明尼苏达大学弗朗西斯A. Kulacki 1998年国际工程教育会议将在巴西里约热内卢举行，是1997年国际工程教育会议的后续会议，由南伊利诺伊大学、美国国家科学基金会、成功大学、Strata技术大学、美国ASME和IEEE技术协会主办。 ICEE’97之后，各工作组通过电子邮件进行了持续的对话，以履行共享课件和其他教育信息的承诺，加深合作关系。 该提案将为20名美国与会者提供部分差旅支持。 该提案旨在促进来自世界各地的工程教育工作者的合作，以使所有各方都能从各国学到的东西中受益。 在工程实践正在成为一种全球性职业的时候，这一点被认为特别重要。 在挑选旅费赠款的接受者时，将作出特别努力，确保接受者包括相当数量的年轻教员，以便他们能够获得国际活动的经验。 部分旅行支持的奖励将主要用于那些没有来自当地赞助活动的旅行资金的人，例如在NSF联盟中工作。

EEC-9814162 University of Minnesota Francis A. Kulacki The 1998 International Conference on Engineering Education (ICEE) to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is a follow up to ICEE '97 sponsored by Southern Illinois University, the National Science Foundation and National Cheng Kung University, the Technical University of Strata, and the U.S. technical societies ASME and IEEE. After ICEE '97, working groups have carried on a continuing dialog through e-mail to fulfill their commitments to share courseware and other educational information, and to deepen the collaborative ties. This proposal will provide partial travel support for 20 U.S. participants to the conference. The proposal in intended to facilitate collaboration of engineering educators from different parts of the world in order for all parties to benefit from what is learned in the various countries. This is judged particularly important at this time when the practice of engineering is becoming a global profession. In the selection of the recipients of the travel grants a special effort will be made to assure that the recipients include a significant number of younger faculty so that they may gain experience in international activities. The awards for partial travel support will go principally to those who do not have travel funds from their local sponsored activities, such as work in the NSF coalitions.
