- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will support a collaborative research project at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) focused on improving teamwork skills in first-year engineering students. The $163,096 award will investigate how students and faculty can shape psychological safety, manage conflicts, and adapt teamwork behaviors within project-based learning environments. The research aims to provide...
- 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...
- The University of Nebraska received a $100,845 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Office of Emerging Frontiers and Multidisciplinary Activities to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: WE ARE THRIVING: CHALLENGING NEGATIVE DISCOURSE THROUGH VOICES OF WOMEN IN PROJECT TEAMS." The two-year grant, awarded August 1, 2021, will support research under the NSF Directorate for Engineering's $47.041 Engineering program. This program seeks to foster innovation...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $198,882 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Merit Strategy LLC, a woman-owned small business located in Boulder, CO. The grant, titled "EAGER: RESHAPE PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS OF ENGINEERING. A HUMAN-CENTERED EXPLORATION OF EARLY LEARNERS EXPERIENCES AND PERCEPTIONS", aims to examine how engineering concepts can be introduced to children from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in positive and age-appropriate ways....
- 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 $299,653 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to investigate how graduate engineering students at research-intensive (R1) institutions in the United States develop intercultural competencies through their work in academic research laboratories. The award was made on August 15, 2024 to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2027. The project will employ a...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $397,929.00 and running from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The grant aims to investigate the effectiveness of applied techniques, specifically the Bystander Intervention Theater Workshop (BITW) and an online interactive video booster session, to improve retention of undergraduate engineering students. The broader impact of the project is to address harassment in STEM fields, which poses a major obstacle to the retention and advancement of scientists. The proposed research will contribute to scientific knowledge about effective strategies to increase bystander intervention and expand participation in undergraduate engineering education. The award was granted to the University System of New Hampshire, through its University of New Hampshire division, to conduct this research.
