|
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

Russia
and European Union Link Researchers
The Russian Association for
Engineering Education, in cooperation with Tomsk Polytechnic University and
the Austrian Bureau for International Research and Technology Cooperation,
coordinated an EU-funded project designed to increase research cooperation
between regions in Russia and research organizations in the EU. The
RUSERA project resulted in 37 "regional information nodes" across Russia
that will foster cooperation between Russian and EU scientists.
Conference Held to Discuss Strategies of Promoting Materials Research in the
Arab Region
The Doha International Conference
on Materials Research and Education took place in April with over 70 of the
world's leading materials scientists and educators discussing strategies for
developing materials research education in the Arab region. By sharing
research trends, networking and discussing strategies and opportunities
among regional and international scientists, engineers and educators at the
conference aimed at initiating new research projects in the region and
getting appropriate funding for them.
Coaching Center for Exams Opens in India
The New Indian Education Centre (NIEC)
opened in Mansoura last month and will offer coaching on entrance exams
conducted by various state and central boards and educational institutions
in India. Experienced faculty, retired from Indian Institutions, head
the various departments. In addition to coaching for engineering,
medical, business administration and computer science entrance exams, NIEC
provides tuitions for high school students and offers computer courses for
individuals and businesses.
Uganda Suspends Science Scholarships Plan
The Ugandan government has
suspended plans to offer most state-funded university scholarships to
science students. The policy was intended to raise Uganda's scientific
capacity by allocating 3,000 of the 4,000 scholarships granted by the
government for science programs deemed critical to national development.
Priority was going to be given to engineering, chemical engineering,
information and communication technology engineering, human and veterinary
medicine, electronics and information technology. The plan was
canceled after protests that it would severely damage non-scientific
professions.
