Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to serve as a model for institutions wishing to successfully address and respond to NSF concerns during the proposal review process. Drexel University's Goodwin College of Professional Studies submitted a proposal entitled "Implementation of the Internet-Based Nondestructive Evaluation Laboratory for the Applied Engineering Technology Curriculum" as a reply to NSF solicitation under the program Course, Curriculum, Laboratory Improvement (CCLI) in May 2006 According to the proposal, Drexel would adapt Iowa State University's instructional material to its own ultrasound imaging laboratory course by placing emphasis on nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques and applications. Once fully developed, the NDE laboratory would serve as a training center for Applied Engineering Technology (AET) students, as well as for the work-force of local companies. The proposal received a highly favorable response from the reviewers and the NSF panel and was considered for funding. Nevertheless, the NSF panel addressed some questions that came up during the review process. After receiving PI and co-PIs' responses, the project was awarded. The NSF questions, along with PI and co-PIs' responses, are presented in this work.
