The Engineering Research Centers (ERC) Program of the National Science Foundation (NSF) stands as
a landmark in federal support for university research in partnership with industry. Established by
the NSF Directorate for Engineering in 1985 in accordance with a model envisioned by the National Academy of Engineering, the ERC Program introduced a number of bold new features designed to strengthen the competitiveness of U.S. industries by bringing new approaches and goals to academic engineering research and education, and by forging vital new links between universities and industry.
From their inception, the ERCs have reflected the new directions set forth in NSF's strategic plan, which include the development of intellectual capital, the integration of research and education, and the promotion of partnerships emphasizing shared investments, shared risks, and shared benefits. In many ways, the program has redefined the concept of an academic research center, serving as a model for other centers programs subsequently launched by the NSF, by other federal agencies, and even by other governments. |
Engineering Research Centers provide an integrated environment for academe and industry to focus
on next-generation advances in complex engineered systems important for the Nation's future.
Activity within ERCs lies at the interface between the discovery-driven culture of science and the innovation-driven culture of engineering, creating a synergy between science, engineering, and industrial practice. ERCs provide the intellectual foundation for industry to collaborate with faculty and
students on resolving generic, long-range challenges producing the knowledge base for steady advances in technology and their speedy transition to the marketplace. ERCs integrate engineering education and research and expose students to industrial views in order to build competence in engineering practice and to produce engineering graduates with the depth and breadth of education needed for leadership throughout their careers.
Each ERC is established as a three-way partnership involving academe, industry, and NSF (in some cases with the participation of state, local and/or other Federal government agencies). There are currently 25 ERCs, with total annual funding for each Center ranging from $3.3 to $12.5 million, with NSF's contribution for each Center ranging from $1.4 to $2.9 million per year. |

IV. Combined Research-Curriculum Development (CRCD) 1997 Grantees Conference
9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. | Location: Commonwealth Ballroom North 1 |
Created in 1991, the National Science Foundation (NSF) Combined Research-Curriculum Development (CRCD) Program is a joint Directorate for Engineering (ENG) and Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) initiative which emphasizes the need to incorporate exciting research advances in important technology areas into the upper level undergraduate and graduate engineering curricula. This program has as a major objective stimulating faculty researchers to place renewed value on quality education and curriculum innovation in the context that education and research are of equal value and complementary parts of an integrated whole. | There are currently 51 projects supported by the CRCD program and 18 new awards are being recommended as a result of the FY 96/97 CRCD competition. These projects have a duration of up to 3 years and may be supported by NSF at a total level of funding up to $400,000. Each project focuses on a particular topic which is of industrial and national importance in areas supported by ENG and CISE. These areas are those in which the development of curricula based on newly created fundamental engineering knowledge, will serve the changing needs of the industry and professional careers, enhance the education of future engineers, enable them to compete in the global environment and contribute to U.S. economic competitiveness and well being in a more direct and substantive way. |
Each CRCD project contains five major components:

The multi-agency Technology Reinvestment Project (TRP) was initiated in 1992 to stimulate the transition to a growing, integrated, national industrial capability that can provide the most advanced, affordable military systems and the most competitive conunercial products possible. Accordingly, one of three areas in which proposals were solicited in the fiscal year 1993 TRP competition was in Manufacturing Education and Training (MET). Fifty-seven projects were funded to help improve the |
general state of U.S. competitiveness and productivity and provide a high-quality workforce for the 21st century. Emphases were on: the provision of new manufacturing engineering education and training opportunities, including those designed to equip defense and commercial technical professionals to work in the design environment of the future; dual-use engineering skills and the improvement of technical capabilities at all educational levels; and the use of experienced manufacturing experts and engineers in classroom settings. |
