The research aims to gather rich, first-hand accounts to contribute new knowledge about varied experiences in engineering education and inform efforts to improve retention and ensure talented...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $199,673 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York to investigate the impact of time management and metacognition skills on the academic success and well-being of first-year engineering students. The research project aims to equip students with strategies to navigate the challenges of engineering education, including supporting students who must work to...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) award of $120,613 provided funding to Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026 to conduct collaborative research on applying inclusive teaching strategies to promote cognitive belonging and engagement in an upper-level architectural engineering course. The research aims to understand how high-structure and inclusive teaching approaches impact students' sense of belonging,...
- 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) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) has awarded a $304,132 project grant titled "CAREER: ADVANCING ACADEMIC CULTURES OF WELL-BEING BY UNDERSTANDING PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCES OF ENGINEERING FACULTY" to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. This 2.25-year project aims to transform how engineering faculty connect with students and other faculty/staff by better understanding faculty members' experiences coping with negative emotions and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $500,000.00, with a period of performance from August 15, 2025 to July 31, 2030, will support a collaborative research project between the University of Connecticut and the University of Missouri. The project aims to reimagine engineering education by creating innovative tools and strategies that support the success of all students, particularly in the critical first two years of the undergraduate...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the CFDA 47.041 Engineering program, provides $191,657 to Tufts University to transform engineering education by leveraging "meaningful failure" as a promising approach to learning and teaching. The research involves using biometric data, classroom observations, and psychosocial assessments to better understand how each student experiences failure. The goal is to develop new educational tools and strategies that...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $179,019.00 to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Division to conduct research on psychological safety, sense of belonging, and success beliefs among first-year engineering students. The project aims to identify longitudinal trends in psychological safety and its correlation with students' sense of belonging and expectations of success over a two-semester course sequence. By documenting these trends, the research will help identify key times during the first year where psychological safety may drop, enabling educational interventions to improve it and enhance the first-year experience for engineering undergraduates. This work aligns with the NSF's Research Initiation in Engineering Formation program's goals of understanding the formation and evolution of these constructs over time, as well as expanding the engineering education research network through the mentoring and development of the principal investigator. The award period is from August 15, 2025 to July 31, 2027.
