IV. Combined Research-Curriculum Development (CRCD) 1997 Grantees Conference

9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Location: Commonwealth Ballroom North 1

Created in 1991, the National Science Foundation (NSF) Combined Research-Curriculum Development (CRCD) Program is a joint Directorate for Engineering (ENG) and Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) initiative which emphasizes the need to incorporate exciting research advances in important technology areas into the upper level undergraduate and graduate engineering curricula. This program has as a major objective stimulating faculty researchers to place renewed value on quality education and curriculum innovation in the context that education and research are of equal value and complementary parts of an integrated whole.

There are currently 51 projects supported by the CRCD program and 18 new awards are being recommended as a result of the FY 96/97 CRCD competition. These projects have a duration of up to 3 years and may be supported by NSF at a total level of funding up to $400,000. Each project focuses on a particular topic which is of industrial and national importance in areas supported by ENG and CISE. These areas are those in which the development of curricula based on newly created fundamental engineering knowledge, will serve the changing needs of the industry and professional careers, enhance the education of future engineers, enable them to compete in the global environment and contribute to U.S. economic competitiveness and well being in a more direct and substantive way.

Each CRCD project contains five major components: Research--High quality, innovative, currently underway or recently completed, ready and appropriate to be integrated into curriculum development and classroom testing or application. Curriculum Development--Upper level undergraduate and/or introductory graduate courses; relevant to improving students' preparation in the proposed technology area; relevant to practical world applications; includes innovative approaches and directions to curriculum development and educational delivery and interactive learning technologies; and places emphasis on stimulating thinking and intellectual growth. Participants--Consisting of faculty teams from engineering and other disciplines, undergraduate and graduate students, faculty from other institutions, individuals with expertise in education methodology and pedagogy, industrial partners and colleagues from professional societies and national laboratories. Project Evaluation/Asssessment/Dissemination/Implementation plans for the curriculum developed must be included in the program. Cost Sharing--at least 25% is required from the academic institution(s) involved. Proceedings for the 1997 CRCD Grantees Conference are available on the World Wide Web at the Uniform Resource Locator: http.//www.eng.nsf.gov/eec/eeic.htm

The multi-agency Technology Reinvestment Project (TRP) was initiated in 1992 to stimulate the transition to a growing, integrated, national industrial capability that can provide the most advanced, affordable military systems and the most competitive conunercial products possible. Accordingly, one of three areas in which proposals were solicited in the fiscal year 1993 TRP competition was in Manufacturing Education and Training (MET). Fifty-seven projects were funded to help improve the

general state of U.S. competitiveness and productivity and provide a high-quality workforce for the 21st century. Emphases were on: the provision of new manufacturing engineering education and training opportunities, including those designed to equip defense and commercial technical professionals to work in the design environment of the future; dual-use engineering skills and the improvement of technical capabilities at all educational levels; and the use of experienced manufacturing experts and engineers in classroom settings.

Presentations at the 1997 TRP/MET Grantees Conference include TRP/MET projects in the following areas Engineering Education in Manufacturing Across the Curriculum Practice-Oriented Master's Degree Programs Retraining the Manufacturing Workforce Educational Traineeships for Defense Industry Engineers Manufacturing Engineering Education Coalitions Supplementary Education Awards to Ongoing Centers and Coalitions Devoted to Manufacturing Individual/Group Innovations in Manufacturing Engineering Education Manufacturing Experts in the Classroom Proceedings for the 1997 TRP/MET Grantees Conference are available on the World Wide Web at the Uniform Resource Locator: http:/www.eng.nsf.gov/eec/eeic.htm
