The College of Engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso proposes to organize a workshop entitled ?Building Partnerships and Pathways to Address Engineering Grand Challenges.? The workshop will focus on a select group of the National Academy of Engineering ?Grand Challenges for Engineering.? The workshop will provide a venue to highlight the research at minority serving institutions (MSIs) and, in particular, at Hispanic Serving Institutions. The workshop will also provide a forum to engage a diverse group of researchers (from different disciplines, industry and higher education institutions) who can bring distinct perspectives to the selected challenges. The workshop will offer a unique opportunity to engage in discussions that could lead to innovative solutions to challenges that face our society. In addition, researchers will share best practices for successfully establishing research partnerships, and will identify ways to overcome obstacles that could prevent the creation of research alliances among universities, industry, and national laboratories. Workshop objectives include: ? To identify the opportunities for synergetic research and strategic partnerships amongparticipating research extensive universities, MSIs and industry to effectively address theEngineering Grand Challenges.? To create partnerships among majority-minority universities and university-industry to addressEngineering Challenges.? To identify the actions needed to create a culture of collaboration that facilitates the formation of research partnerships.? To showcase capabilities of faculty from MSIs. The workshop will increase the visibility of research teams from MSIs, in particularresearchers who are from underserved groups, to the research community in general.

德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校工程学院提议组织一个题为“建立伙伴关系和解决工程重大挑战的途径”的研讨会。研讨会将重点关注美国国家工程院的一组“工程的重大挑战”。该研讨会将提供一个场所来重点介绍少数族裔服务机构（MSI），特别是西班牙裔服务机构的研究。该研讨会还将提供一个论坛，让不同的研究人员群体（来自不同学科、行业和高等教育机构）参与其中，他们可以针对选定的挑战提出不同的观点。该研讨会将提供一个独特的机会进行讨论，从而为我们社会面临的挑战找到创新的解决方案。此外，研究人员将分享成功建立研究伙伴关系的最佳实践，并将找出克服可能阻碍大学、工业界和国家实验室之间建立研究联盟的障碍的方法。研讨会的目标包括： ?确定参与研究的广泛大学、MSI 和行业之间协同研究和战略伙伴关系的机会，以有效应对工程重大挑战。在占多数的少数族裔大学和大学产业之间建立伙伴关系，以应对工程挑战。确定创建协作文化所需的行动，以促进研究伙伴关系的形成。展示 MSI 教师的能力。该研讨会将提高 MSI 研究团队（特别是来自服务不足群体的研究人员）在整个研究界的知名度。
