Introduction
Preeminence in science and technology has been a foundation of this
Nation's strength for much of its history. Throughout its own history,
the National Science Foundation (NSF) has strived to enable the Nation to
uphold a position of world leadership in all aspects of science,
mathematics, and engineering by promoting the discovery and use of new
knowledge in service to society along with excellence in education
at all levels. The Foundation has served as the catalyst for the pursuit of
excellence in research and education by U.S. academic institutions
and has provided leadership and stewardship for institutions engaged in
learning and discovery. Now, new challenges must be addressed by
the research and education communities, challenges that can only be
successfully addressed and met through partnerships that build on and
integrate the strengths of each community. The Foundation's role in this
process will continue to stimulate the pursuit of excellence through
the implementation of four core strategies: developing intellectual
capital, strengthening the physical infrastructure, integrating research
and education, and promoting partnerships.
The Combined Research-Curriculum Development (CRCD) Program, a joint
initiative of the Directorate for Engineering (ENG) and the
Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE),
reflects all four of these core strategies in pursuit of the goal of
achieving for the Nation, engineering and computer and information science
education that is dynamic, relevant, and connected to the
changing needs of industry and society and to emerging technology areas.
