The research themes will include examination of broader impacts of research proposals, promotion of faculty/practitioner interaction in publishing, incorporation of undergraduate students in research, and fostering teacher/scholar models to address potential disconnect between teaching and research. Specific educational themes will include ASCE’s Vision 2025 on geotechnical engineering education, the importance of professional licensure of geotechnical engineering faculty, and examination of opportunities for incorporating technologies to enhance geotechnical engineering education. 1:30 – 7:00 p.m. RUSSIA-U.S.A.
