- The National Science Foundation awarded a $399,971 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant funds the NETETHICS project to develop tools and training to advance responsible conduct in complex engineering research networks. Over a two-year period, the project will identify key ethical values for large, multi-institutional research collaborations. It will also develop a survey tool to assess approaches to ethics...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve ethical judgment education and assessment for engineering students. The $508,318 project, with a performance period from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028, will develop a game-based educational intervention to immerse students in realistic, narrative-driven scenarios requiring ethical decision-making. The project will also leverage advanced machine learning and natural...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $116,890 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the University of Pittsburgh. This 3-year project aims to improve the effectiveness of engineering ethics education by integrating a game-based intervention that exposes students to realistic ethical dilemmas. The project leverages advanced machine learning and natural language processing tools to assess student responses and create a scalable system for evaluating ethical...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $121,669 Project Grant under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) for the collaborative research project "NLI: Educating Engineers for Holistic Problem Solving". The goal of this 3-year project, starting on October 1, 2025, is to transform engineering education by cultivating a holistic "enviro-socio-technical" mindset in students. This will empower future engineers to tackle...
- This $346,929 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund collaborative research to build foundational knowledge about the spatial skills relevant to contemporary engineering practice. The award, effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028, will focus on identifying the spatial problems embedded in the work of civil and mechanical engineers. The research will utilize ethnographic methods to understand how engineers...
This federal Project Grant award of $157,936.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside. The grant funds a collaborative research project focused on using stories from traditional cultures as case studies to teach virtue-based engineering ethics to engineering students. The goal is to help engineering students develop ethical decision-making skills and character that will be critical for success in the 21st century engineering profession. The project will integrate the ethics training into students' existing coursework and leverage stories from diverse cultures to promote universal ethical values and cultural understanding. The award period runs from September 15, 2025 through August 31, 2027.
