9906299WhiteDescription: This award is for the support of a US-Turkey Workshop on the Changing Nature of Engineering to be held in Istanbul, Turkey in June 1999. The US organizers are Dr. Robert M. White, Chairman of Electrical Engineering and Dr. Adnan Akay, Chairman of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Turkish co-organizer is Dr. Nilufer Egrican, Dean of Mechanical Engineering at Istanbul Technical University in Istanbul, Turkey. Six topics have been suggested for the discussion in the workshop: engineering in a multinational company, the design process, changes in engineering curricula, lifetime and distance learning, increased mobility and diversity, and the shift to the services industry. In addition, the Turkish side will make presentations on: engineering curricula in Turkey, the engineering profession in Turkey, case studies of major engineering projects, impact of foreign presence, major factors affecting engineering in Turkey, and the role of distance learning. The workshop will develop a clear understanding of Turkey's innovation process, the process by which its engineers are trained, technology is commercialized, how intellectual property is protected, as well as identify barriers to collaborations on international engineering projects. Also it will define how engineering practices in a developing country are changing so that the US engineering community might take steps to better interface with such countries.Scope: This project will support participation by US engineers and engineering educators in a workshop that addresses the rapidly changing nature of engineering education and profession as they serve industries and the public sector. The meeting will provide a forum for exchanging information between the United States and Turkey, and for learning especially how Turkey, a developing country, is dealing with these changes in the engineering profession and curricula. The US participants' list includes several eminent men and women who have significant records in engineering education and who have responsible positions in engineering societies, industry, and government. The project will be of mutual benefit to the United States and Turkey as well as to participants who may come from central Asia. The project fits well within the objectives of the Division of International Programs.

9906299白色描述：该奖项是为了支持将于1999年6月在土耳其伊斯坦布尔举行的美国-土耳其工程性质变化研讨会。 美国的组织者是罗伯特·M。白色，电气工程主席和博士阿德南Akay，机械工程主席在卡内基梅隆大学匹兹堡，宾夕法尼亚州。 土耳其协办者是土耳其伊斯坦布尔伊斯坦布尔技术大学机械工程系主任Nilufer Egrican博士。 提出了六个专题供讲习班讨论：跨国公司的工程、设计过程、工程课程的变化、终身学习和远程学习、增加流动性和多样性以及向服务业的转变。 此外，土耳其方面将介绍：土耳其的工程课程，土耳其的工程专业，重大工程项目的案例研究，外国存在的影响，影响土耳其工程的主要因素，以及远程教育的作用。 该研讨会将对土耳其的创新过程、工程师培训过程、技术商业化过程、知识产权保护方式以及国际工程项目合作障碍有一个清晰的了解。 此外，它将确定如何在一个发展中国家的工程实践正在发生变化，使美国工程界可能会采取措施，更好地与这些countries.Scope接口：这个项目将支持美国工程师和工程教育工作者参加一个研讨会，解决工程教育和职业的快速变化的性质，因为他们服务于行业和公共部门。 会议将为美国和土耳其之间交流信息提供一个论坛，特别是了解土耳其这个发展中国家如何应对工程专业和课程的这些变化。 美国的参与者名单包括几位杰出的男性和女性，他们在工程教育方面有着重要的记录，并在工程学会，工业和政府中担任重要职务。 该项目将对美国和土耳其以及可能来自中亚的参与者互利。 该项目完全符合国际方案司的目标。
