A New Millennium Colloquium on the Future of Civil & Environmental Engineering

该奖项由美国国家科学基金会工程理事会土木和机械系统部门提供支持，用于组织和举办题为“土木和环境工程的未来新千年研讨会”的研讨会。研讨会组织者的目标是汇集一群领先的土木和环境工程（CEE）教育者和实践者，探讨土木工程专业在未来的可能演变并考虑中东欧教育机构如何更好地准备引领和应对这一演变。该组织将由两个委员会完成：1)麻省理工学院的内部教员计划委员会和2)由中东欧系主任组成的国家咨询委员会。本次研讨会的基本形式围绕以下五个主题：产业与学术关系；信息和其他技术；自然环境与建筑环境的关系；促进创新；以及21世纪的教育。研讨会将于2000年3月19日至21日在麻省理工学院举行。该奖项是为了向讨论会提供部分财政支助，这将有助于加强活动的举办，并确保在印刷和录像媒体上尽可能广泛地传播讨论会的会议记录

The basic format for the colloquium is established as centered around five theme sessions: industry academic relations; informaiton and other technologies; relation between the natural and built evniroment; promotion of innovation; and education for the 21st century. The workshop will be held March 19-21, 2000 at MIT. the award is for partial fanancial support for the colloquium which will make it possible to enhance the conduct of the event, and to ensure the widest possilbe dissemination of the colloquium's proceedings in both priint and video media
