The International
Engineering Program is a dual-degree program combining a B.A. in German,
French and/or Spanish with a B.S. in one of the engineering disciplines.
IEP students study language and culture each semester along with their
engineering curriculum. In the fourth year of the five-year program, they
then go abroad as interns with engineering based firms in Europe or Latin
America, and also as exchange students with one of our partner
universities |
Gary
Gabriele joined NSF in September 2004 as Division
Director for the Engineering Education and Centers
Division. Previous to coming to NSF, Dr. Gabriele
was Vice Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Education
at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He earned his
Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Purdue
University, spent time in the US Army and Lockheed
before joining Rensselaer in 1984. He has served as
Director of the Core Engineering Program and was
Associate Dean of Engineering for Academic and
Student Affairs. Dr. Gabriele is also a professor of
mechanical engineering in the Department of
Mechanical, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering, where
he has taught courses in design and design
optimization. He is a co-founder and teacher in the
Product Design and Innovation curriculum, a
multidisciplinary design program combining
engineering, architecture and science and technology
studies. His design course has won national
recognition for innovation from the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers. His research interests fall
within two areas of engineering design:
multidisciplinary design optimization of electronic
packages and design of integral fasteners. He has
authored over 75 refereed papers in the areas of
design optimization, design for manufacture, and
design education.
