D&D: The Ultimate Higher Education Start-up: Building Education / Outreach / Diversity for an NSF Engineering Research Center

Wed, Oct 19, 2:15 to 3:15pm, Conf Ctr, Ballroom C

Short Description

The Center for Bio-mediated and Bio-inspired Geotechnics, is taking off, as is this new field of biogeotechnics! Our team of educators, engineers and students is developing a full suite of education, outreach and diversity goals, strategies, and activities to span K12 to university students to engineers. In this interactive session, we will present our design, development and evaluation results from our first year, along with “lessons learned” for this NSF-funded, multi-university, highly interdisciplinary center.
