- Description
- The U.S. Army RDECOM, Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD), Operations Division, Human Resources Branch is conducting an educational survey with accredited universities in the Washington, DC metropolitan area having the qualificati ons and capabilities to conduct on-site educational programs at NVESD. These programs will be technical in nature and, at a minimum, should lead to a Master of Science in Engineering or Master of Science in Electrical Engineering with a desire of allowing on-site coursework (and possibly dissertations) that could lead to a Doctorate in Engineering. The programs should emphasize the primary business areas of NVESD to include electro-optics, optics, infrared systems, electro-magnetics, microelectronics, sig nal processing, image processing, acoustics, robotics, and basic technical courses that support these research areas. Consideration should be given to the possibility of transferring a higher number of course credits from an existing program to make a pro posed program viable. Classes will take place on-site at the NVESD compound located on Fort Belvoir, VA. Classes will be conducted between the hours of 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. Classes will be held one day a week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or a Thursday. Classes can not be held on Friday, Saturday or a Sunday. Classes will consist of a minimum of 10 students unless mutually agreed upon by both NVESD and the university. The university must have the ability to provide counseling services to NVESD students concerning available and appropriate degree programs, degree programs options and requirements, matriculation requirements and fees. The cost of the programs should be outlined by credit hour, per course, and per year. The possibility of a flat rate for all students regardless of domicile should be considered. Any additional fees that would be associated with providing an on-site program shall be included. The university must be willing to accept payment via a tax exempt VISA credit card. NVESD utiliz es a tax exempt VISA credit card for payment of its individual training courses and programs. Professors involved with the program must be a U.S. Citizen in order to gain access to the NVESD compound area. A resume will be required for professors willing to travel to NVESD to teach. NVESD will provide a facility for courses and be responsible for the purchase of all student textbooks.
