UTEP gets $500,000 for its students:
The three-year National Science Foundation grant, which UTEP’s Colleges of Engineering and Education applied for together, is to implement and evaluate an inquiry-based educational model in engineering classes, said Arunkumar Pennathur, associate professor of industrial engineering.
