IGERT Full Proposal

9987576玛丽·瑟斯比-普渡大学IGERT：创新实现实验室：将科学和工程与经济和管理相结合这一综合研究生教育和研究培训(IGERT)奖支持建立一个关于实现创新的教育和研究的多学科研究生培训计划。创新实现实验室(IRL)旨在：(1)精通技术并了解对工业研究和开发至关重要的经济和管理原理的理工科博士研究生；(2)产生具有科学价值和市场相关性的科学和工程论文研究；(3)培养研究和开发项目管理方面的管理学研究生。来自六个研究生项目(植物生物学、农业和生物工程、计算机科学、电气和计算机工程、管理和机械工程)的教师将开发这一独特的研究生教育方法。30名NSF资助的博士生和他们的主要教授将与管理学院的教职员工和30名普渡大学资助的理科硕士学生合作，就博士生研究的潜在市场应用进行合作技术和市场研究。辅助性课程、工作坊和行业实习将向学生介绍知识产权、商业、监管和伦理问题，这些问题对于基础研究在科学和工程中的工业应用至关重要。IRL的经验将提供在项目管理的商业化和行为方面的实践学习--使博士作为实现创新的领导者为不同的创业或创业内部职业生涯做好准备。IGERT是一个NSF范围内的项目，旨在应对教育博士科学家和工程师的挑战，他们拥有多学科背景以及未来职业需求所需的技术、专业和个人技能。该项目旨在通过建立新的、创新的研究生教育和培训模式，在一个超越传统学科界限的合作研究的肥沃环境中，催化研究生教育的文化变革。在该计划的第三年，19个机构被授予奖项，这些项目共同涵盖了NSF支持的所有科学和工程领域。这一具体奖项的知识焦点位于工程学、生物科学、计算机和信息科学与工程以及教育和人力资源理事会。

9987576Marie Thursby - Purdue UniversityIGERT: Innovation Realization Laboratory: Integrating Science and Engineering with Economics and ManagementThis Integrative Graduate education and Research Training (IGERT) award supports the establishment of a multidisciplinary graduate training program of education and research on the realization of innovation. The innovation Realization Lab (IRL) is designed to: (1) graduate Ph.D.s in science and engineering who are technically proficient and understand economic and management principles critical to industrial research and development; (2) produce science and engineering thesis research of scientific merit and market relevance, and (3) train management graduate students in research and development project management. Faculty from six graduate programs (Plant Biology, Agricultural and Biological Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Management and Mechanical Engineering) will develop this unique approach to graduate education. Thirty NSF-funded Ph.D. students and their major professors will be teamed with faculty and 30 Purdue University-funded Master of Science students from the School of Management to engage in collaborative technical and market research concerning potential market applications of the Ph.D. students' research. Complementary classes, workshops, and industry internships will introduce students to intellectual property, business, regulatory, and ethical issues that are critical to the industrial application of fundamental research in science and engineering. The IRL experience will provide learning by doing in commercialization and behavioral aspects of project management -- preparing Ph.D. for varied entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial careers as leaders in the realization of innovation.IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of education Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the multidisciplinary backgrounds and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing new, innovative models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. In the third year of the program, awards are being made to nineteen institutions for programs that collectively span all areas of science and engineering supported by NSF. The intellectual foci of this specific award reside in the Directorates for Engineering; Biological Sciences; Computer and Information Science and Engineering; and Education and Human Resources.
