This federal Project Grant award, totaling $200,000.00 and running from August 15, 2025 to July 31, 2027, is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The project, titled "CO-DESIGNING TRANSFORMATIVE RURAL PATHWAYS TO ENGINEERING WITH IDAHO EPSCOR COMMUNITIES," aims to expand K-12 and college-level student participation in engineering education across the state of Idaho. The University of Idaho, the awardee, will partner with K-12 and rural community stakeholders to co-design engineering education pathways and establish a Center for Pathways to Engineering at the university. The broader impact of this project is to improve access to engineering and computer science learning opportunities for all students in Idaho, particularly those in rural areas. The project extends design thinking framework theory and seeks to address the gap in the literature regarding collaborative projects using this framework.
