Welcome from Dr. Stephanie AdamsDepartment Head, Engineering EducationVirginia TechOn behalf of the Engineering Education Department at Virginia Tech, I am delighted to welcomeyou to the 2012 Engineering Education Awardees Meeting. Our department is pleased to jointhe National Science Foundation in sponsoring the opportunity for researchers and practitionersin our rapidly developing field to come together and share the latest results of their work. Thework you will see here represents the cutting edge of engineering education research anddevelopment.Following last year’s model, the conference continues the use of panels designed to support acollaborative relationship between NSF program officers and awardees. As you can see from theprogram, each panel includes a representative from NSF along with a leader in the field whowill facilitate discussions. Through these discussions, we hope to help NSF keep improving itsmethods of supporting the education and research enterprise of engineering education.We are also gratified to be able to support undergraduate students involved in REU programs,teachers involved in RET programs, and graduate students participating in the recently formedGraduate Engineering Education Consortium for Students (GEECS). Of course, we are also happyto provide a variety of interactive opportunities for NSF awardees to share their innovations inteaching and research.We hope you will have ample opportunity to meet new colleagues, generate new ideas, andcontinue to advance our ability to prepare the next generation of America’s engineers.Best regards,3
