Project Grant 2346881
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) in the amount of $199,954 provides funding to the University of Cincinnati to conduct research on how undergraduate engineering students utilize external resources, including generative AI tools like ChatGPT, to supplement their learning and problem-solving. The study aims to understand students' metacognitive strategies when engaging with these resources, with the goal of informing how educators can...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $500,000.00, with a period of performance from August 15, 2025 to July 31, 2030, will support a collaborative research project between the University of Connecticut and the University of Missouri. The project aims to reimagine engineering education by creating innovative tools and strategies that support the success of all students, particularly in the critical first two years of the undergraduate...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program awarded a $299,999 EAGER grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan (CFDA 47.041) to explore the use of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT to generate qualitative datasets for engineering education research on cultural norms related to stress and mental health. The 2-year project aims to develop guidelines for leveraging LLMs to enhance existing qualitative methods and overcome their limitations. Specifically, the...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $330,000 to the University of Utah to design, develop, and test an AI-enhanced mobile learning system that helps civil and construction engineering students integrate unstructured observations from their everyday environments with formal engineering education. The proposed system will use AI to direct students' attention to key construction components, explain the observations, and link...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program for $349,999 provides funding to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to investigate how engineering students' demographic, socioeconomic, and academic backgrounds influence their participation in entrepreneurship education programs. The project aims to leverage machine learning and regression techniques to build data-driven models that advance the understanding of student...
- 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...
- 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) 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...
- This $100,428 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports a research study at Western Carolina University (WCU) exploring how the identities of first-generation engineering technology students impact the development of their engineer identity. The two-phase, mixed methods study aims to better understand how these intersecting identities influence the professional formation of future engineers. The research is scheduled to take place...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $299,998 to Utah State University (USU) aims to examine why and how undergraduate engineering students use disruptive technologies, such as ChatGPT, to facilitate their learning. The exploratory mixed-methods study will leverage the theoretical lens of self-authorship to gain insights into students' motivations, goals, and perceptions in leveraging these emerging technologies. The findings from this 2-year project, which begins in September 2024, are expected to inform the development of educational interventions that can effectively integrate disruptive technologies into engineering curricula. This work represents an initial step towards transitioning from reactive to proactive approaches for incorporating advancing technologies in engineering education and practice.
