PREFACE This study was performed under a grant from the National Science Foundation to the College of Engineering of the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle. The report is the result of the collaborative effort of many institutions and individuals. It was written by George Bug- liarello, Project Director, and Harold A. Simon, with the assistance of Vivian G. Cardwell and Clarke H. P. Schneider, who also coordinated the efforts of all the contributors, organized the Conference which constituted a phase of the study and edited the Conference proceed- ings. Major contributions to the direction and implementation of the study were made by Thomas W. Knowles and Joseph L. Schofer. Other major contributors were the members of the project steering committee and the technical working committee, consultants, the Con- ference participants, and the Director and Deputy Director of the Of- fice of Intergovernmental Science Programs of the National Science Foundation, M. Frank Hersman and Robert C. Crawford. The study was carried out in three phases. Phase I was devoted to the problems of developing models and associated studies of the in- teraction between the university (the school of engineering) and its environment. The individual studies carried out by the technical work- ing committee toward this end are reported in Appendix I, Project Reports. Phase II centered on a Conference (February 14 and 15, 1972), which gathered participants from throughout the country who were concerned with areas pertinent to the present study. The purpose of ix X Preface the Conference was to provide a critique of the project's progress at that time and to give direction for the conclusion of the project. The proceedings of the Conference consist of the project papers marked by asterisk in the Appendix I contents and all the papers contained in Appendix II. Phase III of the project focused on the development of mechanisms for increasing the interaction between the universities, or their col- leges of engineering, and the local region. The mechanisms proposed reflect the experience gained through the course of the study, the ideas put forth at the Conference, suggestions from consultants and information gathered from interviews with legislators, local govern- ment officials and civic leaders. All the engineering schools in Illinois and three government units actively participated in carrying out the project.
