- This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will explore the self-adjustment experiences of community college transfer students enrolled in engineering programs at a research-intensive university. The $535,992 award, effective August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2028, will investigate the strategies these students use to manage psychosocial stressors and persist toward an engineering degree. The research aims to generate evidence-based insights to...
- This $1,499,958 National Science Foundation project grant will support Northern Virginia Community College in providing scholarships and academic support services to low-income, high-achieving students pursuing associate degrees in engineering. Over the six-year grant period, the college aims to provide scholarships to 85 students and increase the number who transfer to four-year institutions to complete engineering degrees. Funds will support student financial needs, close equity and...
- This Project Grant award of $387,145 from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to examine faculty beliefs about engineering work and how they connect their teaching to industry needs and practices. The three-phase study will determine what engineering faculty across the United States know about engineering work and how they use that knowledge in their teaching. The findings will then be used to develop workshops, handouts, and other resources to help faculty...
- This $400,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to study how engineering graduate student fellowships impact student recruitment, academic experiences, graduation, and early career outcomes. The goal is to redefine graduate fellowships as transformative tools that promote the success of all American engineering students. The research will examine the role of...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will investigate the experiences and academic pathways of non-traditional students in chemical engineering and related fields. The $199,968 award to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) aims to identify the challenges, barriers, and potential advantages experienced by transfer students, part-time students, older students, and veteran...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $200,000 to West Virginia University Research Corporation to investigate the influence of student support services on engineering identity development among undergraduate civil engineering students. The research aims to evaluate how changes in support services during the transition from a general engineering program to a specific civil engineering major impact students' perceptions of...
- This $113,370 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to transform introductory engineering courses at a Hispanic-serving two-year college. The goal is to enhance student success and interest in pursuing STEM degrees through a project-based learning approach. The award will fund the development of quasi-independent, low-cost classroom materials and curricula that provide early-career engineering students with significant...
- This $399,998 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to design, implement, and evaluate a new engineering education pedagogy called Scaffolded Ethics Autobiography (SEA). The SEA module is intended to promote engineering students' professional identity development by facilitating the construction of their own moral narratives, with the goal of producing ethical engineers who persist in engineering careers. The...
