| Preparing Tomorrow’s Scientists and Engineers for the Challenges of the 21st century |
| Thursday, September 1 hrs 16:00 – 18:00 – Aula Magna |
| Organizer and Moderator: Bozenna Pasik-Duncan (University of Kansas) |
| This Special Panel Session on Education will focus on multiple challenges and opportunities that are presented to young investigators preparing for careers in science and engineering and will address important control engineering education issues of balancing math, science and technology in engineering education. The main questions to be addressed are: How do we integrate research and education? What we, scientists and educators, should do about cultivating student interest in science, math and engineering? Is it important for control engineering students to know math and science? Should control engineering education focus mostly on engineering? What kind of control engineering textbooks are popular among students? Do they need textbooks? Should engineering education focus mostly on technology? |
| The expected output of this session are recommendations to the control community on how to integrate education with research and how to attract science and engineering students to the field of automatic control. |
