- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Engineering Education and Centers provides $490,174 to Purdue University under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) from September 2022 through August 2025. The funding will support research to develop and validate a new survey instrument to measure student engagement in team-based learning across academic disciplines, with a focus on identifying differences based on gender, race/ethnicity and other factors. Leveraging data...
The National Science Foundation awarded Arizona State University a $199,999 Project Grant under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to support research on peer-led study groups for engineering students. The two-year project will explore the effects of peer and near-peer support models in thermodynamics courses on engineering self-efficacy, identity formation, course achievement, and persistence among transfer and first-time students. Researchers will use mixed-methods to collect data on cognitive and social outcomes for students participating in peer-led study groups versus conventional recitation sessions. In the second year, follow-up interviews and institutional data will assess engineering persistence and retention. Results aim to advance understanding of social-cognitive factors influencing STEM retention, with implications for supporting transfer student success in engineering fields.
