As a member of the committee, Lutchen will have a voice in determining how NSF \u2013 one of the largest sources of engineering research funding \u2013 prioritizes investment areas.<br \/>\nThe committee also advises the Directorate of Engineering on how best to promote quality undergraduate and graduate education in engineering, and how the directorate\u2019s mission, programs and goals can best serve the community. In addition, the committee advises on important issues in institutional administration and policy, among other areas.<br \/>\n\u201cI am honored to be part of this important committee that plays such a large role in supporting the nation\u2019s engineering education and research,\u201d said Lutchen. \u201cI look forward to contributing the perspectives I\u2019ve gained as a dean, an educator and a researcher to the committee.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"yarpp-related\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Michael G.
