| Nominations
Sought for IACEE Awards |
|
Nominations are currently being sought for the IACEE
Joseph M. Biedenbach Distinguished Lectureship Award and the Glen L. Martin
Award for Corporate Leadership in Continuing Engineering Education.
The Joseph M. Biedenbach
Distinguished Lectureship Award was established in 1991 to honor the memory
of Joseph M. Biedenbach. Professor Biedenbach was one of the initiators of
IACEE and the World Conferences on Continuing Engineering Education. The fund is used to support
a keynote lecturer, the �Joseph M. Biedenbach Distinguished Lecturer� at the
IACEE General Membership Meeting during the World Conference on Continuing
Engineering Education. The recipient of the award will be selected by
IACEE�s Council.
The Glen L. Martin Award for Corporate
Leadership in Continuing Engineering Education was established in memory of
Glen L. Martin, a founding corporate member of the IACEE Council, whose
tireless efforts to promote corporate involvement in engineering education
spanned his career. The award honors a company at each World
Conference on Continuing Engineering Education whose support for continuing
engineering education demonstrates world class leadership and whose
continuing engineering education practices and programs serve as models for
companies throughout the world.
The deadline for nominations is late
September, 2005. For more information on the awards or for nomination

Science Academies for G8 Nations Say Science Will Help Africa
Science academies from the
United Kingdom, United States, Japan, Russia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy
and a network of African academies called on world leaders to specifically
integrate the development of science, technology and innovation capacity
into international assistance programs. The joint statement from the
academies comes ahead of the July G8 summit in Gleneagles, Scotland.
The statement warns, "Isolated
investment is science and technology is not enough-
capacity development
initiatives should be integrated into programmes in specific sectors. A
health programme, for example, should also seek to develop local expertise
and resources to enable locals to continue to address the issues long after
the specific programme has ended."
United States May Open Up for Engineers
The National Board of
Accreditation has initiated a process to make India a member of the
Washington Accord. The Washington Accord, signed by eight countries in
1989, ensures engineers from member countries be treated at par in terms of
screening procedures for visiting countries.
The United States,
United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, Hong Kong and
Ireland are the founding members of the Washington Accord and Japan,
Germany, Singapore and Malaysia are provisional members.
First Women Graduate from Effat College
Thirty young women have
become the first females to graduate from Effat College in Saudi Arabia.
The college's dean, Dr. Haifa Jamal Alail, said the recent graduates help
the college take another step toward achieving international standards in
education. The college is working with a group from Duke University's
Pratt School of Engineering in the United States to open the first
engineering programs for women in Saudi Arabia. The grouped worked on
curriculums in computer science, electrical engineering, biomedical
engineering and architecture with international accreditation standards.
