The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to Marquette University under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop a human-centered engineering education model. The project aims to provide professional development for engineering faculty focusing on affective domain teaching methods grounded in caring science principles. Over a three-year period ending February 2026, the university will examine the impact of this faculty development curriculum on promoting human-centered engineering education. Key outcomes include evaluating differences between courses taught by faculty who participate in communities of practice versus self-paced learning. Findings will be disseminated to potentially revolutionize faculty training and evidence-based teaching practices across institutions and disciplines.
