Workshop: Developing a National Network of Grand Challenge Scholars Programs

工程-其他（59）该项目正在支持一个研讨会，通过创建一个“大挑战学者计划”（GCSP），开始围绕美国国家工程院的“大挑战”组织本科课程。研讨会的目标是在2010年秋季之前，发展出不少于10所拥有活跃gcsp的工程学院，这些学院正在教育本科生。这是通过邀请来自17所表示有兴趣的工程学院和其他几所学校的团队来实现的，以增加参与者的多样性。研讨会的议程包括讨论工程本科生机构GCSP的目标；从学术界和商界领袖的角度分析发展GCSP的优点和挑战；融资策略；审查、修改并向全国普惠制指导委员会提交计划的大纲；实施一个项目。研讨会组织者计划在FIE和ASEE会议上介绍研讨会，与更广泛的社区分享他们的想法和成果。

Engineering - Other (59)The project is supporting a workshop to begin organizing an undergraduate curriculum around the National Academy of Engineering's Grand Challenges by creating a Grand Challenges Scholars Program (GCSP). The goal of the workshop is to develop a critical mass of no fewer than ten engineering schools with active GCSPs that are educating undergraduate students by Fall 2010. This is being accomplished by inviting teams from the seventeen engineering schools that have expressed interest along with several other schools to increase the diversity of the participants. The workshop's agenda includes discussion of the objectives for an institutional GCSP for engineering undergraduates; the merits of and challenges in developing a GCSP from the perspective of academic and business leaders; fund raising strategies; an outline for vetting, revising, and submitting a plan to the national GCSP steering committee; and implementing a program. The workshop organizer are planning to present sessions on the workshop at the FIE and ASEE meetings to share their ideas and results with the broader community.
