The goal is to enhance student success and interest in pursuing STEM degrees through a project-based learning approach. The award will fund the development of quasi-independent, low-cost classroom materials and curricula that provide early-career engineering students with significant...
- This $147,656 collaborative research project awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program investigates factors impacting variability in STEM training programs across the nation. The key products and services delivered under this 3-year Project Grant award include: Measuring the institutional factors that contribute to developing career-ready science curricula and how successful best practices can be leveraged to improve STEM...
- The University of Cincinnati Sponsored Research Services Division received a two-year, $299,998 project grant from the National Science Foundation under the STEM Education program (formerly the Education and Human Resources program, CFDA 47.076) to examine the link between spatial and communication skills among engineering students. The Division will investigate relationships between engineering majors' spatial thinking abilities and their technical communication skills, including gesture use....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $233,715 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to The Ohio State University. This collaborative research project investigates factors that impact variability in STEM workforce development programs across the nation. The research aims to identify institutional factors that contribute to career-ready STEM curricula and successful best practices that can be leveraged to strengthen the STEM workforce....
- This $170,995 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program is funding a project titled "Collaborative Research: Explorations - Developing a Diverse STEM Workforce through Experiential Learning Opportunities and Immersive Internships". The project, led by the Institute For Future Intelligence Inc., aims to inspire, inform, and immerse community college STEM students in emerging...
- This $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research at Cal Poly Corporation to characterize undergraduate STEM research experiences and student outcomes. The three-year award aims to develop and validate a multi-dimensional measure of the work design structure of academic-year undergraduate research experiences. Researchers will adapt an established work design survey from organizational psychology for the STEM research...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) in the amount of $328,427 supports a postdoctoral research fellowship at Purdue University to advance engineering education by investigating the role of labor unions. The project aims to conduct a systematic literature review and semi-structured interviews focused on the intersections between engineering and labor organizing. Specifically, the research will explore how engineering students...
- This $308,559 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program aims to leverage the lived experiences of nontraditional engineering students to promote engaged student learning in technical classrooms. The project will identify characteristics of nontraditional students' lived experiences that can be leveraged, create cooperative learning activities that utilize these experiences to increase engaged learning for...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund research to investigate how cooperative education (co-op) experiences influence engineering students' readiness for the workforce. The $503,894 award to the University of Cincinnati will examine how first-time co-op experiences change students' perspectives, learning gains, behaviors, and sense of professional identity. Data will be collected from over 1,200 engineering students across various co-op pathways, including industry-driven, research-based, international, remote/virtual, and other experiences. The research will be grounded in Mezirow's transformative learning theory to gain new knowledge about how these authentic learning experiences shape students' preparation for STEM careers and contribute to the nation's global competitiveness in these fields.
