| About SERConians | |
| Wayne Zage attended his first IUCRC
directorship conference on January 10-11, 2002, Arlington, Virginia.
He found that Software Engineering Centers in Taiwan and Australia
are interested in collaborating with the SERC.
Aditya Mathur will be working at Telcordia during the next academic year. One half of Dr. Mathur's salary will be funded through the NSF's IUCRC fellowship program. Kirsten Smith and two colleagues were awarded a grant from iCom to assess the feasibility of using digital technology to develop a highly interactive international business communication course with a partner school in another culture. |
