- This $388,611 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support a research project at Purdue University to explore the impact of global undergraduate experiences on engineers' career pathways and approaches to engineering work in an increasingly globalized world. The project will conduct a multiple-case study of three long-running global engineering programs, surveying alumni to compare global career outcomes and identify...
- 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 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Undergraduate Education, under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) federal grant program (CFDA 47.076), provides $369,600 to develop and evaluate new engineering design courses focused on contextual perspectives for second and third year students. The University of Illinois, as awardee, will work with the University of Texas-San Antonio to create an instructional framework and materials for the new...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to Marquette University under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop a human-centered engineering education model. The project aims to provide professional development for engineering faculty focusing on affective domain teaching methods grounded in caring science principles. Over a three-year period ending February 2026, the university will examine the impact of this faculty development curriculum on promoting...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Engineering Education and Centers provides $490,174 to Purdue University under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) from September 2022 through August 2025. The funding will support research to develop and validate a new survey instrument to measure student engagement in team-based learning across academic disciplines, with a focus on identifying differences based on gender, race/ethnicity and other factors. Leveraging data...
- This Project Grant award of $152,201 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) supports collaborative research at the University of Iowa to contextualize engineering science courses by incorporating the history of the engineering profession and emphasizing the role of engineering judgment. The project aims to understand how these pedagogical approaches can improve undergraduate retention, particularly among underrepresented groups in engineering....
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports collaborative research to transform engineering education and cultivate a holistic enviro-socio-technical mindset in future engineers. The $229,621 award, effective from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028, will be executed by the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines (UEI: JW2NGMP4NMA3). The research aims to empower engineers to seamlessly integrate technical knowledge with...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to enhance the preparation of the engineering workforce through the development of "world readiness" - the knowledge, skills, and behaviors necessary for effective collaboration in interdisciplinary, multi-stakeholder environments. The $395,300 project, awarded to Purdue University, seeks to integrate elements of cultural intelligence (CQ) and humanity-centered design (HuMD) into the engineering technology curriculum through the creation of self-paced online modules called Portable Intercultural Modules (PIMs). These educational materials will be made openly available for STEM educators to use in training students to reflect on societal challenges associated with engineering problems and understand their roles as design professionals. The project activities will help advance the understanding of potential correlations between CQ, HuMD, and "world readiness" among undergraduate engineering technology students.
