educator's grant program (EGP)

The Educator's Grant Program (EGP) is designed to help increase the participation of women and minorities in software engineering. The program will fund faculty from institutions with a large minority or female student enrollment to attend FSE-12 and two special half-day tutorials targeted, but not limited, to this group. This program will build on the successful SIGSOFT 2002/FSE-10 EGP.

The EGP submission deadline is September 15. Please see the EGP page for more information.

Funding for the EGP is being provided by the National Science Foundation. This funding must be used to support faculty at US institutions only. Others are welcome to participate in the EGP/tutorials but must provide their own funding.

tutorials

SIGSOFT 2004 will feature one day of tutorials, organized by the Educator's Grant Program (EGP) Co-Chairs.

Schedule

Tutorials will be held on November 1, 2004.

student research forum

The Student Research Forum/Poster Session is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov 2, in the early evening. It will be right after the last session of the day. Students presenting posters at the Forum are required to register for FSE-12. More details of this event are available from the SIGSOFT 2004 Student Research Forum Web site.
