| Nominations
Sought for IACEE Awards |
|
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

Shortage of
Qualified Teachers Forces Cuts to India's Engineering Schools
The Indian government
cut the capacity of the nation's engineering schools by more than 25,000
last week. The dramatic cut is in response to a shortage of
engineering teachers with doctoral degrees. This shortage of qualified
teachers is a result of India's success in engineering. With abundant
jobs and higher salaries, more teachers are leaving academia to work in
companies. The success of engineering as an industry in India has also
resulted in more students studying engineering. The increase in
students, along with the decrease in qualified teachers, is a serious
problem for India.
More Indians Students Being Educated in India
The Indian state joint
entrance examination board had to close counseling of candidates because all
of the 12,000 seats in 54 engineering institutions had already been filled
up. Higher education department officials attributed the rise in
students as an indication that fewer students are going to other nations for
engineering education.
