The two-year grant will support research initiation activities to understand engineering core concepts contextualized in domain-specific settings through active exploration. Specifically, the Stevens Institute of Technology will conduct collaborative research exploring how...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research examining the contextual influences on faculty pedagogical decision-making and student learning in sociotechnical engineering design education. The $244,294 award to Trustees of Tufts College (Tufts University) will fund a multi-year research study with three key objectives: Convene faculty across institutions to facilitate knowledge sharing and pedagogical innovation...
- This $113,370 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to transform introductory engineering courses at a Hispanic-serving two-year college. The goal is to enhance student success and interest in pursuing STEM degrees through a project-based learning approach. The award will fund the development of quasi-independent, low-cost classroom materials and curricula that provide early-career engineering students with significant...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $387,145 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to examine faculty beliefs and practices regarding connecting engineering education to industry workforce needs. The three-year project aims to determine what engineering faculty across the U.S. know about engineering work and how they apply that knowledge in their teaching. The findings will be used to develop...
- This $100,000 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering Education and Centers division will fund research at Tufts University examining how virtual and physical laboratory modes differentially influence the development of engineering students' epistemic practices. The NSF Directorate for Engineering seeks to improve quality of life and economic strength through engineering innovation and excellence in research and education programs like the Engineering program...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $503,141 to Cornell University to develop visible examples of alternative approaches to curricular transformation and co-design interventions in engineering education. The 3-year project, titled "Overcoming Pedagogical Inertia: Amplifying the Course Transformation Narratives of Engineering Educators," aims to highlight the strategies and experiences of engineering...
- This federal Project Grant award of $535,992.00, made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will support a research project at the University of Florida that explores the self-adjustment experiences of community college transfer students in engineering programs at four-year universities. The project aims to investigate the strategies these "vertical transfer" students use to navigate the challenges of transitioning into a new academic...
- The Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology received a $199,997 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The funding supports research to develop a novel system representation framework for complex engineering systems using technology recursion and the renormalization group transformation method. The research aims to establish a rigorous mathematical...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research at Oregon State University (OSU) to investigate how undergraduate engineering students can translate their disciplinary knowledge into professional practice, a process known as "knowledge mobilization." The $349,998 award, effective June 15, 2024 through May 31, 2027, will utilize the Legitimation Code Theory (LCT) framework to characterize knowledge mobilization...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $199,998 Project Grant to The Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop new teaching methods and tools to facilitate knowledge transfer within engineering curricula. Specifically, the awardee will first seek to understand barriers engineering students face in applying knowledge across courses. They will then design and test in-class activities to promote knowledge transfer, assessing student ability to solve specially designed problems requiring cross-course application. Findings will help inform teaching practices to better equip engineers for broad knowledge application. The short two-month period reflects the aim to rapidly design and pilot promising transfer-enabling activities, with results informing longer-term curriculum improvements.
