This research project would hold an NSF-Engineering Education grantees meeting for invited PIs from engineering Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU), Research Experiences for Teachers (RET), Department-Level Reform (DLR), Engineering Education Programs (EEP), Faculty Early Career (CAREER); pre-college outreach coordinators from Engineering Research Centers (ERC). In addition selected students from REU sites, selected teachers from RET sites, and guest presenters would be invited. Meeting activities will include a keynote speaker, poster sessions, networking opportunities and hour-long workshops for awardees. With an engineering education department and facilities in the northern Virginia Region, Virginia Tech is uniquely positioned to host this meeting. The university?s Continuing and Professional Education office provides professional meeting coordination services under the supervision of junior faculty, whose networks and professional reputations will be expanded by hosting this meeting. This meeting will serve as the impetus for forming a professional group of engineering academic deans, who will receive invitations from the NSF as the principal audience for the research to be discussed at this meeting. Like other administrators, engineering academic deans should have a formal group that meets annually to share strategies and learn about cutting-edge research in engineering education. Bringing together leading researchers and practitioners in engineering education is a key activity to advancing engineering education as a research discipline. Representation of diverse projects and initiatives in engineering education ensures that exciting new connections and ideas will be sparked by this meeting. This meeting provides the opportunity for investigators, RET teachers, REU students, distinguished guest speakers, graduate students and NSF program officers to interact across NSF Engineering Education and Centers programs. The networks that will form across these programs will enhance the infrastructure for research and education improvement in engineering. The meeting will advance discovery and understanding while promoting teaching, training, and learning through its dual focus on research and education projects. Society will ultimately benefit from this meeting through NSF?s ongoing engineering education projects, which will be enriched by the information and connections made at this meeting.

该研究项目将为来自本科生工程研究经验（REU），教师研究经验（RET），系级改革（DLR），工程教育计划（EEP），教师早期职业（CAREER）的邀请PI举行NSF工程教育受赠人会议;来自工程研究中心（ERC）的大学前外联协调员。此外，将邀请来自REU网站的选定学生，来自RET网站的选定教师和嘉宾演讲者。会议活动将包括一个主旨发言人，海报会议，网络机会和获奖者长达一小时的研讨会。随着工程教育部门和设施在北方弗吉尼亚州地区，弗吉尼亚理工大学是唯一的定位主办这次会议。大学？的继续和专业教育办公室提供专业的会议协调服务的监督下，初级教师，其网络和专业声誉将扩大主办这次会议。这次会议将作为形成一个工程学术院长专业小组的推动力，他们将收到NSF的邀请，作为这次会议上讨论的研究的主要听众。像其他管理人员一样，工程学院院长应该有一个正式的小组，每年开会分享战略，了解工程教育的前沿研究。汇集工程教育领域的领先研究人员和实践者是推进工程教育作为一门研究学科的关键活动。工程教育中的各种项目和倡议的代表性确保了这次会议将引发令人兴奋的新联系和想法。本次会议为调查人员，RET教师，REU学生，杰出的演讲嘉宾，研究生和NSF项目官员提供了在NSF工程教育和中心项目中进行互动的机会。这些计划将形成的网络将加强工程研究和教育改进的基础设施。会议将推进发现和理解，同时通过其对研究和教育项目的双重关注促进教学，培训和学习。社会最终将通过NSF从这次会议中受益？我们正在进行的工程教育项目，这将是丰富的信息和连接在这次会议上。
