The National Highway Institute's (NHI) Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship
program funds faculty travel, registration, books and other expenses
associated with professional development such as conferences, seminars,
courses, and workshops.
The Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship program supports faculty in the
transportation disciplines, which NHI defines very broadly. Transportation
disciplines include (among others) accounting, anthropology, business
administration, chemistry, computer science, engineering, economics,
geography, historic preservation, human resource development, law
enforcement, marketing, mathematics, physics, political science,
psychology, sociology, and statistics. For NHI's full list of
transportation-related academic disciplines, go to
http://www.nhi.fhwa.dot.gov/fellow_discipline.html
The Eisenhower Transportation Fellows program seeks to improve faculty
transportation expertise. Dr. Ilene Payne, the NHI program officer,
encourages faculty members to think creatively about how a professional
development opportunity might improve their transportation expertise and
teaching. The intellectual value of the professonal development is an
important factor in the decision-making process. Fellowship recipients are
expected to transfer their new knowledge to the classroom via a) modifying
an existing course, curriculum or program, or b) establishing a new course,
curriculum or program.
Last year, 118 faculty received funding through the Eisenhower
Transportation Fellows program. There are two application deadlines per year:
*April 15 (for professional development which occurs May through December)
*October 15 (for professional development which occurs January through April)
