The three were nominated by NAE members and engineering deans, and are among only 48 participants chosen from throughout the nation.

Faculty members who are developing and implementing innovative educational approaches in a variety of engineering disciplines will share ideas, learn from research and best practices in education, and leave the event with a charter to bring about improvement at their home institutions.

"The goal of the Frontiers of Engineering Education program is to strengthen U.S. innovation by nurturing and catalyzing the insights of education leaders on today's 21st century engineering education needs," said NAE president C. D. Mote, Jr. "The program builds this community of engaged engineering educators as a resource committed to the preparation of engineering students for today's engineering world."
