IGERT Full Proposal

9987576 Marie Thursby - Purdue UniversityIGERT：创新实现实验室：将科学与工程与经济学和管理学相结合这一综合研究生教育和研究培训（IGERT）奖支持建立多学科的研究生教育培训计划和研究创新的实现。 创新实现实验室（IRL）的目的是：（1）研究生博士在科学和工程谁是技术熟练，并了解经济和管理原则的关键产业研究和发展;（2）生产科学价值和市场相关性的科学和工程论文研究，和（3）培训管理研究生在研究和开发项目管理。 来自六个研究生课程（植物生物学，农业和生物工程，计算机科学，电气和计算机工程，管理和机械工程）的教师将开发这种独特的研究生教育方法。 30名NSF资助的博士学生和他们的主要教授将与教师和30名普渡大学资助的管理学院理学硕士学生合作，就博士学位的潜在市场应用进行合作技术和市场研究。学生的研究。 补充课程，研讨会和行业实习将向学生介绍知识产权，商业，监管和道德问题，这些问题对科学和工程基础研究的工业应用至关重要。 IRL的经验将提供商业化和项目管理行为方面的学习-准备博士学位。IGERT是一个NSF范围内的计划，旨在满足教育博士的挑战。科学家和工程师与多学科背景和技术，专业和个人技能所需的未来的职业需求。 该计划旨在通过建立新的，创新的研究生教育和培训模式，促进研究生教育的文化变革，为超越传统学科界限的合作研究创造肥沃的环境。 在该计划的第三年，该奖项将颁发给19个机构，这些机构的计划涵盖了NSF支持的所有科学和工程领域。 这个特定奖项的知识焦点位于工程局;生物科学;计算机和信息科学与工程;教育和人力资源。

9987576Marie Thursby - Purdue UniversityIGERT: Innovation Realization Laboratory: Integrating Science and Engineering with Economics and ManagementThis Integrative Graduate education and Research Training (IGERT) award supports the establishment of a multidisciplinary graduate training program of education and research on the realization of innovation. The innovation Realization Lab (IRL) is designed to: (1) graduate Ph.D.s in science and engineering who are technically proficient and understand economic and management principles critical to industrial research and development; (2) produce science and engineering thesis research of scientific merit and market relevance, and (3) train management graduate students in research and development project management. Faculty from six graduate programs (Plant Biology, Agricultural and Biological Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Management and Mechanical Engineering) will develop this unique approach to graduate education. Thirty NSF-funded Ph.D. students and their major professors will be teamed with faculty and 30 Purdue University-funded Master of Science students from the School of Management to engage in collaborative technical and market research concerning potential market applications of the Ph.D. students' research. Complementary classes, workshops, and industry internships will introduce students to intellectual property, business, regulatory, and ethical issues that are critical to the industrial application of fundamental research in science and engineering. The IRL experience will provide learning by doing in commercialization and behavioral aspects of project management -- preparing Ph.D. for varied entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial careers as leaders in the realization of innovation.IGERT is an NSF-wide program intended to meet the challenges of education Ph.D. scientists and engineers with the multidisciplinary backgrounds and the technical, professional, and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing new, innovative models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. In the third year of the program, awards are being made to nineteen institutions for programs that collectively span all areas of science and engineering supported by NSF. The intellectual foci of this specific award reside in the Directorates for Engineering; Biological Sciences; Computer and Information Science and Engineering; and Education and Human Resources.
