GRASP / ESE Seminar – Pramod Khargonekar, NSF Director of Engineering, “Challenges and Opportunities in Engineering Research and Education: A View from NSF”
November 7, 2014 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Abstract: The main goal of this talk is to share thoughts and perspectives on key
opportunities and challenges in engineering research; education and
broadening participation,
and innovation ecosystem as seen from my perspective at the National
Science Foundation. I will begin with a discussion of the overall
context, drivers, and trends that are driving our strategies. I will
then give a high level overview of some of the key priorities
and initiatives in the Engineering Directorate (ENG) at NSF. The talk
will conclude with a brief discussion of certain overarching issues
including broader impacts, grand challenges, and new models for
interdisciplinary research.
