Eligibility
Only proposals from Oregon University System (OUS) campuses and the Oregon Health and Science University will be considered and be eligible for funding under this solicitation. While partnerships, collaboration, and subcontracts with non-OUS entities are permitted, responsibility for the performance of each program will remain with the campus making the proposal and receiving the funds.
Funding Goal
Proposed programs should support the Engineering & Technology Industry Council (ETIC) strategy of doubling the number of engineering and computer science graduates and seek to enhance pre-engineering and applied science education by implementing recommendations from the Oregon Pre-Engineering & Applied Sciences Initiative (OPAS) consistent with one or more of the following strategies:
Motivate: Enhance the ability of STEM education programs to increase students’ interest and knowledge of engineering and applied science opportunities;
Prepare: Increase the use of improved teaching methods - active learning, student inquiry, engineering problem solving, and creative teamwork.
Succeed: Increase the enrollment and successful completion of STEM courses by underrepresented populations.
Pathways: Create, develop, and maintain engineering and applied science pathways so that more students successfully transition among education institutions and into the workforce.
Funding Structure
$750,000 will be allocated from ETIC Funds to programs to be performed during the biennium from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2009. Programs should begin within 100 days of award notification. [$375,000 subject to approval of ETIC Budget for 07-08 Fiscal Year and $375,000 subject to 08-09 Fiscal Year Budget by the Oregon State Board of Higher Education. One half of the awarded funds will be transferred within 30 days of each of the two budget approvals.]
