U.S.-European Third Global Engineering Education Workshop, Aachen, Germany, October 18-20, 2000

0083982 Kurstedt这一为期一年的奖项支持25名美国初级教师参加第三届全球工程教育研讨会，教育工程师的世纪，在亚琛，德国，2000年10月18日至20日，并在研讨会后访问研究实验室在亚琛，格勒诺布尔，法国和洛桑，瑞士。讲习班的组织者是弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学、法国格勒诺布尔国家理工学院、瑞士洛桑联邦理工学院和亚琛的莱茵-威斯特法伦技术学院。 该研讨会是一个论坛的新思想和概念，为未来的工程教育，并将解决这些问题，如国际化和跨学科的工程实践和信息技术的影响。 教育与培训，终身学习，工程教育，研究和工业之间的互动，以及最佳实践是其他研讨会的主题。 与会者还将访问讲习班主办伙伴附近机构的潜在研究伙伴。 我们的目标是发展未来的合作。 一些感兴趣的领域是信息技术，通信，运输，材料和生物信息学。 会议组织机构建议跟踪在匹配感兴趣的研究人员方面的进展。 工作坊的网页将刊载这些研究访问的访问报告，这些报告最终可用来确定一个机构的具体优势和弱点。该项目利用了三个世界级研究和教育机构的专门知识。 INPG，EPF和RWTH提供严格的工程教育和研究计划。 此外，研讨会将导致与这些欧洲学校和未来的研究合作持续的机构联系。

0083982KurstedtThis one-year award supports the participation of 25 U.S. junior faculty in the third global engineering education workshop, Educating the Engineer for the 21st Century, in Aachen, Germany, October 18-20, 2000, and in post-workshop visits to research laboratories in Aachen, Grenoble, France, and Lausanne, Switzerland. The organizers of the workshop are Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (INPG), France, the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPF) in Switzerland, and the Rheinisch-Wesfalische Technische Hochschule (RWTH) in Aachen. The workshop is a forum of new ideas and concepts for future engineering education and will address such issues as the internationalization and interdisciplinarity of engineering practice and the impact of information technology. Education versus training, lifelong learning, interaction between engineering education, research and industry, and best practices are other workshop topics. Participants will also visit with potential research partners at institutions near the partner hosts of the workshop. The goal is to develop future collaborations. Some areas of interest are information technology, communications, transportation, materials, and bioinformatics. The conference organizing institutions propose to track progress in matching researchers of like interest. The workshop website will feature the visit reports of these research visits which eventually could be used to determine an institution's particular strengths and weaknesses.The project takes advantage of expertise in three world class research and education institutions. INPG, EPF and RWTH offer rigorous engineering education and research programs. In addition, the workshop will lead to sustained institutional ties with these European schools and future research collaborations.
