ABSTRACT0753147 VANASUPAEducating Engineering Innovators: Planning Visit for Finalizing Collaborative Research in ChinaThe California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) is awarded travel support for a multidisciplinary team of 12 U.S. participants (8 senior faculty, 2 junior faculty and 2 graduate students) to visit to two institutions in China: Tongji University in Shanghai and Nanjing University of Technology in Nanjing. The objective of the January 2008 planning visit is to assess the expertise, capabilities and facilities at the foreign sites in order to develop a protocol to conduct follow-on research aimed at engineering learning mechanisms: that is, how to educate engineers to innovate and design sustainable solutions in the global marketplace. The U.S. PI is Dr. Linda Vanasupa, director of the Educating Global Engineers Initiative and Professor of Materials Engineering at Cal Poly. The primary Chinese counterparts are Dr. ZHAO, Jianfu, Vice President and Professor in the College of Environmental Sciences and Engineering at Tongji University, and Dr. LIU, Weiqing, International Cooperation Office, Nanjing University of Technology. The planning visit activities are thoughtfully structured and theoretically focused. The planning visit will catalyze research that explicitly examines the influence of diversity (gender, ethnic, economic and cultural) on engineering education.

摘要：美国加州州立理工大学（calpoly）为一个由12名美国人组成的多学科研究团队（8名高级教师、2名初级教师和2名研究生）提供旅行资助，他们将访问中国的两所大学：上海同济大学和南京工业大学。2008年1月计划访问的目的是评估国外基地的专业知识、能力和设施，以便制定一项协议，开展针对工程学习机制的后续研究：即如何教育工程师在全球市场上创新和设计可持续的解决方案。美国首席代表是琳达·瓦纳苏帕博士，她是全球工程师教育计划的负责人，也是加州理工学院材料工程教授。中国的主要同行是同济大学环境科学与工程学院副院长兼教授赵建富博士和南京工业大学国际合作办公室刘卫青博士。计划的访问活动是深思熟虑的结构和理论重点。计划中的访问将促进明确考察多样性（性别、种族、经济和文化）对工程教育影响的研究。
