The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $299,999 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the University of North Dakota (UND) to conduct research on effective engineering education methods for rural students. The project, in collaboration with Montana State University, will provide a fellowship to an assistant professor and training for a postdoctoral fellow at UND. The research will focus on developing and evaluating an energy engineering educational experience that embeds local contexts and community involvement, with the goal of improving teachers' self-efficacy in teaching energy concepts through engineering. This work aims to promote the spread of effective engineering education methods, enable more rural students to access engineering education, and expand the engineering workforce, particularly in rural communities.
