This $450,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) funds Rowan University to develop and test an innovative research-to-practice training model for transportation engineering doctoral students. The goal is to better prepare students for mid-career, non-academic jobs through a cognitive apprenticeship approach integrating technical competencies, business/communication skills, leadership training, and networking opportunities. Students will apply their research skills to transportation industry problems in collaboration with industry and government partners. The mixed-methods evaluation will assess the model's impact on students' professional identity, preparation for professional practice, and motivation towards degree completion. Results could inform improvements to the transportation Ph.D. program and be transferable to other engineering contexts. The award period is from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025.
