- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $221,097 Project Grant under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. The project aims to investigate how engineering undergraduates leverage social relationships, or "social capital," to develop professional skills such as teamwork, communication, and ethics - critical competencies for 21st century engineering careers. The mixed-methods study will survey up to 1,500 engineering students...
- 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 awarded a $199,998 Project Grant to The Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop new teaching methods and tools to facilitate knowledge transfer within engineering curricula. Specifically, the awardee will first seek to understand barriers engineering students face in applying knowledge across courses. They will then design and test in-class activities to promote knowledge transfer, assessing student...
- 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 $299,913 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) will support a collaborative research project between Penn State University and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to investigate how graduate engineering students develop intercultural competencies in authentic academic research laboratory environments. The goal of the project is to provide the inaugural understanding of how intercultural competencies are fostered or...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, awarded under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $107,022 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. to conduct a qualitative research study exploring how multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary undergraduate engineering education impacts students' career choice processes and decision-making. The research team will interview engineering students in both multi-disciplinary and single-disciplinary programs at a large...
- San Francisco State University received a $199,919 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041). The grant will fund research from July 2021 through June 2023 to understand how teamwork experiences impact engineering identity development among diverse students. As part of its mission to improve engineering research and education quality and foster innovation, the NSF Engineering...
- This $499,990 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve student learning and engagement in mechanical engineering courses at the University of New Mexico. The project will introduce the concept of "organizational citizenship behavior" into the classroom, encouraging engineering students to collaborate, share ideas, and support one another. Through structured learning activities, the project will demonstrate how...
This $200,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research at Kennesaw State University Research And Service Foundation, Inc. to incorporate communication training into team-based, undergraduate engineering courses. The goal is to develop globally competitive engineers with both technical knowledge and effective interpersonal communication skills for collaborative work across disciplines. The intervention will use the story circles method tailored to engineering contexts, with a quasi-experimental, mixed-methods approach to evaluate its impact on undergraduate engineering students' teamwork experiences and learning outcomes. This work aims to strengthen the domestic engineering workforce by preparing students to tackle 21st century challenges through evidence-based strategies for improving communication skills.
