Purdue Faculty Attend NEXTRANS Open House

The NEXTRANS Center hosted a Faculty Open House on March 7, 2008 at its offices within the Purdue Research Park.  A wide cross section of Purdue Faculty representing Civil Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Agricultural Economics, Computer Science and Management visited the center  to meet with the Center Director and Staff and learn about the research project selection process for FY ‘08-’09.  They were briefed about the upcoming call for research need statement and criteria for meeting the thematic and cost-share requirements for a fundable NEXTRANS project.  A list of previously funded projects and information about other programs and initiatives of the Center were also provided.  Faculty who  were unable to attend due to prior commitments scheduled individual appointments and visited the Center separately to obtain information and discuss their project ideas with the NEXTRANS staff.
