The EHR Advisory Committee
"NSF is determined that all students at all levels will be exposed to programs with high standards for understanding and accomplishment; that all students have the opportunity to advance to higher levels; that all students who enter advanced training at the professional level are well and broadly trained; and that the process of learning does not end with the classroom.
"Meeting this goal requires efforts from all parts of the Foundation. The undergraduate level plays a pivotal role."
