General Program Scope – Educational and research programs that advance the more effective use of information in engineering and applied science, with special emphasis on learning communication skills. Grant range to a maximum of $25,000.
Education Program
New ABET accreditation standards adopted beginning fall 2001 require that communication skills be included in engineering curricula; the standards are open on how to accomplish this. There are likely many different approaches possible to better include communication skills in engineering curriculum and to ensure that new engineering graduates are skilled at writing, speaking, information seeking, and evaluation.
- Projects that try innovative approaches for including communication skills in the engineering school curriculum and that test and evaluate these approaches so benchmarks of success can be established.
- Design of an instructional matrix of programs and educational materials for training engineering faculty and students in the most effective use of formal engineering information systems, products, and finding tools.
- Programs that study and promote the widespread and efficient dissemination and use of engineering information across nations, regions, or on a global basis.
- Research that links the expertise of information science and technology with the engineering disciplines, and support for research in critical areas of engineering informatics.
