The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) has awarded a $127,177 Project Grant to Trustees of Dartmouth College to transform engineering education by leveraging "meaningful failure" as a learning approach. The project aims to develop new educational tools and strategies that provide personalized interventions to support students in embracing failure and developing the skills to address complex engineering challenges. The research involves using biometric data, classroom observations, and psychosocial assessments to understand how students experience failure and create individualized failure profiles. The project will culminate in the development of pedagogical approaches to foster personalized learning and resilience, ultimately increasing retention and success rates in engineering fields. This award reflects NSF's mission to advance knowledge and innovation through foundational engineering research and education.
