JIAFS - A Pattern for Graduate Engineering Education of the Future?

Whitesides, J. L.; Yuan, S. W.

A graduate program in engineering at the Joint Institute for Acoustics and Flight Sciences (JIAFS) is described. JIAFS is a cooperative undertaking between the NASA-Langley Research Center and the School of Engineering and Applied Science at The George Washington University. This program adopts a more practical approach than traditional graduate engineering education, providing a combination of applied research and academic studies. (MLH)
