Travel Grant for U.S. Delegation to Participate in the 2000 International Conference on Engineering Education (ICEE 2000)

EEC-9911992Rao本提案的目的是支持美国工程教育工作者团队参加在台湾台北举行的ICEE 2000国际工程教育会议。参加这次会议将加强在ICEE 97(芝加哥)、ICEE 98(里约热内卢)和ICEE-99(Ostrava)期间以及伴随而来的国际研讨会期间开展的合作。与台湾、巴西和捷克去年作出的承诺一致，该小组将组成参加ICEE 2000和后续国际研讨会的美国代表团。这项建议的第二个目的是通过有针对性地参加ICEE 2000来支持课程改革理念在美国以外的传播。这将通过关键演讲、举办讲习班以及参加专题讨论会和小组讨论来实现。获得旅费补助金将使美国代表团能够参加这一重要的国际会议。

EEC-9911992RaoThe purpose of this proposal is to support a team of U.S. engineering educators for participating in the International Conference on Engineering Education, ICEE 2000 Taipei, Taiwan. The participation in this conference will strengthen the collaborations that nucleated during ICEE 97 (Chicago), ICEE 98 (Rio de Janeiro) and ICEE-99 (Ostrava) and accompanying international workshops. Consistent with the commitment made last year by Taiwan, Brazil and the Czech Republic, this team will constitute the U.S. delegation to the ICEE 2000 and the follow-on International Workshop. A secondary purpose of this proposal is to support dissemination of the curriculum reform philosophy beyond the U.S. by targeted participation in ICEE 2000. This will be accomplished through key presentations, the conducting of workshops, and participation in symposia and panel discussions. The availability of a travel grant will enable the participation of US delegation in this important international conference.
