- This $299,913 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) will support a collaborative research project between Penn State University and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to investigate how graduate engineering students develop intercultural competencies in authentic academic research laboratory environments. The goal of the project is to provide the inaugural understanding of how intercultural competencies are fostered or...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education provides $300,000 to Purdue University from October 2021 through September 2023 to examine the impact of participation in Engineers Without Borders on undergraduate student transition to professional practice and development. The grant is funded through the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), which supports the vitality of the nation's science and engineering education enterprise. Purdue will...
- This $346,929 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund collaborative research to build foundational knowledge about the spatial skills relevant to contemporary engineering practice. The award, effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028, will focus on identifying the spatial problems embedded in the work of civil and mechanical engineers. The research will utilize ethnographic methods to understand how engineers...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) is for a $399,551 research project titled "RESEARCH: ENGINEERING PREPAREDNESS REIMAGINED: BRIDGING STAKEHOLDER PERSPECTIVES TO SHAPE THE FUTURE WORKFORCE". The project will explore how "preparedness" is defined by key stakeholders - industry practitioners, faculty, and new engineers - to uncover nuances in their conceptualizations. This insight is intended to support the...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering, CFDA 47.079, provides $119,867 to support collaborative research between U.S. and Kenyan institutions. The funding enables U.S. undergraduate engineering students from underrepresented groups to conduct community-engaged engineering research abroad from September 2022 to August 2025. Specifically, students from Purdue University and San Francisco State University will work with faculty...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,998 Project Grant under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program to Purdue University to conduct research on improving safety awareness and attitudes among undergraduate engineering students. The project aims to understand the current safety awareness levels of engineering technology students, develop an educational intervention to enhance their safety knowledge, and examine the impact of this intervention on their safety attitudes. The project's...
This $388,611 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support a research project at Purdue University to explore the impact of global undergraduate experiences on engineers' career pathways and approaches to engineering work in an increasingly globalized world. The project will conduct a multiple-case study of three long-running global engineering programs, surveying alumni to compare global career outcomes and identify predictors of global career success. Interviews will also be conducted to understand how global experiences during and after undergraduate studies influence engineers' approaches to their work and career choices. The findings are expected to provide insights and recommendations for designing effective global engineering programs for students as well as global professional development opportunities for practicing engineers. The project aims to advance understanding of how to support global learning and develop a globally competitive engineering workforce.
