BlackboardEngineering Professor Among 2006-2007 Fulbright Scholars
Dr. Salah Aziz, Coordinator of Academic Programs in Engineering, is a U.S. Fulbright Scholar to Egypt and Jordan. He will assist two colleges of engineering in Egypt and two colleges of engineering in Jordan to develop program objectives and student outcomes which are comparable to the International Standards set by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
"I commend the accomplishment of these outstanding professors," said Dr. Keith Jackson, FAMU vice president for research. "The Fulbright Scholar Program brings international recognition to the University, gives faculty dynamic research opportunities and contributes to the academic success of our students and FAMU's place among world-class institutions." Numerous FAMU faculty have participated in the U.S. Fulbright Scholar Program and have had research experiences in countries such as Ghana, Morocco, the Ukraine, Turkey and Brazil.
The Fulbright Program, America's flagship international educational exchange program, is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The program was designed to create a mutual understanding between citizens of the United States and the people of over 150 participating countries by creating new contacts and intellectual ties. The Fulbright Scholarship Board is a 12-member Presidential-appointed body that establishes worldwide policies for the program and the selection of Fulbright recipients.
