The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Engineering Education and Centers awarded Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) a $499,425 Project Grant under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program. The 4-year grant, awarded on August 1, 2023, will support the integration of interdisciplinary curriculum and collaborative teaching methods across RPI's Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering (MANE) department. Key objectives include transforming the department's teaching culture, enhancing student learning outcomes and experiences, and increasing student retention, especially among underrepresented minorities. The project aims to replicate a successful model developed at Colorado State University to enable students to better understand connections between engineering disciplines and apply course concepts to practical problems through project-based learning. The research will assess the impact of these curricular and pedagogical changes on student learning through a mixed-methods approach involving observations, focus groups, surveys, and secondary data analysis.
