The major grant focus at present is the UEF Grants for the Advancement of Engineering program. Proposals in the following areas are encouraged but all proposals are welcome. See the enclosed Advancement of Engineering Grant Application Information for more details. It is administered by a proactive committee which identifies new areas, recruits chairs, monitors existing series, and which welcomes unsolicited proposals. EFC's have been held with attendance generally in the range of 50 to 150.
Conferences are intensive and generally last five days.
They are held in North America, Europe, and the Pacific Rim. The conference program's goal is to be self supporting. Industrial companies and government agencies provide partial support for participants and a UEF-funded fellowship program exists for engineers within ten years of their baccalaureate. A calendar of conferences for the next several years may be found at this web site. A brochure Organizing Your First Engineering Conference is available.
