Drivers of Technological Changes in the Twenty-first Century

21世纪技术变革的驱动力迈阿密大学将组织一次研讨会，研究21世纪技术变革的驱动力以及这些变革对人力资源开发的要求。将研究快速技术变革对工业竞争力的预期影响。工业对受过高等教育和训练有素的劳动力的需求将要求教育模式的转变。大学和学术机构将不得不用更符合新世纪要求的教育项目来应对。这次拟议的研讨会是对之前由NSF资助的一个项目的后续行动，该项目名为《技术管理和应对技术革命的教育范式转变》。1998年的项目产生了一份题为“技术管理：新世纪的未来方向和需求”的报告。该报告及其研究结果将在2月20-25日在佛罗里达州迈阿密举行的第九届国际石油技术管理会议上向广大听众介绍。2000年。这次会议通常有来自世界各地的400名高素质的技术管理研究人员和实践者参加。当前项目/研讨会的两个主要目标是：1)介绍并征求该领域一大批专家对1998年迈阿密大学/国家科学基金会报告的意见；2)在MOT国际会议上举行一次特别研讨会，讨论答复并制定行动计划，以促进该报告的调查结果的实施。

Drivers of Technological Changes in theTwenty First CenturyThe University of Miami will organize a workshop to examine the drivers of technological changes in the twenty-first century and the demands that these changes place on human resource development. The expected impact of the fast pace of technological change on industry's competitiveness will be examined. Industry's needs for highly educated and trained work force will require a shift in educational paradigms. Universities and academic institutions will have to respond with educational programs more in tune with the demands of the new century.This proposed workshop is intended as a follow-up on a previously funded NSF project entitled "Management of Technology and the Paradigm shift in Education in Response to the Technology Revolution". The 1998 Project resulted in a report entitled "Management of Technology: Future Directions and Needs for the New Century. "The report and its findings will be presented to a large audience al the 9th International Conference Oil Management of Technology to be held in Miami Florida February 20-25. 2000. The conference is usually attended by 400 highly qualified researchers and practitioners of technology management from all over the world.Two main objectives of the current project/workshop are: 1) To present and solicit comments on the findings of the 1998 University of Miami/ NSF report from a large group of experts in the field and; 2) To hold a special workshop at the International conference on MOT to discuss the responses and to develop a plan of action that will facilitate implementation of the report's findings.
