Project Grant 2348089
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $197,329 Project Grant under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects. This 3-year award supports the development and study of "open-ended modeling problems" to help undergraduate engineering students practice and demonstrate engineering judgment skills. The project aims to produce a framework for characterizing the productive beginnings of engineering...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering awarded a Project Grant under the CFDA program "Engineering" (47.041) in the amount of $204,012.00 on August 15, 2023 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York. The grant funds a research project entitled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RESEARCH: UNDERSTANDING AND SCAFFOLDING THE PRODUCTIVE BEGINNINGS OF ENGINEERING JUDGMENT IN UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS." This project aims to develop a novel...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $100,000 to Doane University will initiate research into the impact of a liberal arts education on the ethical development of engineering undergraduates. The project aims to (1) determine which components of a liberal arts curriculum contribute to the ethical development of engineering students, and (2) compare the ethical development of engineering students to their peers at the same institution. This...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $227,702 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop and evaluate a pedagogical approach for assessing individual student contributions to team software engineering projects. The goal is to create rigorous methods for evaluating the quality of software engineering artifacts produced by students working in teams. This will involve deriving desirable qualities of key...
- This Project Grant award of $199,998 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Kennesaw State University Research And Service Foundation, Inc. (KSU R&SF) aims to develop perspective-taking skills in first-year engineering students using arts-based observation techniques. The research will explore how learning to analyze themes in art helps students approach engineering design problems from different viewpoints. The project involves first-year civil and...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program, formerly known as Education and Human Resources (CFDA #47.076), provides $114,724 to the University of Pittsburgh to improve engineering ethics education. The award aims to develop and test interactive collaborative and competitive scenarios to teach ethical reasoning skills to undergraduate engineering students, compared to traditional instructional methods. Specifically, the University of Pittsburgh will assess...
- This $199,988 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to investigate the potential benefits of integrating a mixed-methods approach (quantitative and qualitative methods) into engineering design curricula, using human-centered design as an example. The key activities include assessing current mixed-methods scenarios in the practicing engineering community, experimenting to understand the impact of adding qualitative...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $299,662 Project Grant to The Pennsylvania State University, doing business as Penn State, for a project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: LEVERAGING CROWD-AI TEAMS FOR SCALABLE NOVELTY RATINGS OF HETEROGENEOUS DESIGN REPRESENTATIONS". This research project will develop a framework to accurately evaluate the novelty and quality of complex, heterogeneous design artifacts using a combination of...
- This $345,183 National Science Foundation project grant supports Oregon State University in developing a model of engineering design activity engagement and identity motives among students and professionals. Funded under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the three-year award beginning September 2022 aims to investigate how and why civil and mechanical engineering students and practicing engineers engage with engineering design. Key objectives include developing an engagement model,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $349,551 Project Grant under the Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on defining and assessing engineering judgment. This exploratory research will first establish an expert-driven definition for engineering judgment using a Delphi panel study. The project will then develop assessment tools to measure engineering judgment competencies, focusing on design and data analysis courses. The assessment data will inform the creation of educational modules for explicit instruction on engineering judgment, which will be disseminated widely to promote adoption. A subaward of this grant was made to Kent State University to support the research activities. This work aims to strengthen the formation of engineering students' judgment abilities, which are critical for the field but currently lack consistent assessment and instruction.
