Washington State University sponsors workshop on research and education in ASABE-affiliated academic departments

摘要

In Brief: ASABE offers many opportunities to engage graduate students and foster their participation in annual meetings and other gatherings. However, there is no formal ASABE committee or forum to facilitate dialog among ASABE-affiliated academic departments about best practices for recruiting and educating graduate students as future research leaders and for sharing experiences that support research for greater societal impacts. To initiate a more structured representation of graduate-level education and research within ASABE, the Department of Biological Systems Engineering (BSE) at Washington State University (WSU) organized a one-day workshop in Spokane, Wash., before the 2017 ASABE Annual International Meeting, with participation from several academic departments that have large graduate programs.
