This will empower future engineers to tackle...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $100,000 to Doane University will initiate research into the impact of a liberal arts education on the ethical development of engineering undergraduates. The project aims to (1) determine which components of a liberal arts curriculum contribute to the ethical development of engineering students, and (2) compare the ethical development of engineering students to their peers at the same institution. This...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $400,000 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Brown University. The grant, with a performance period from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2029, supports the "Design and Development: Cross Disciplinary Co-Teaching Sustainability Across the Formal and Informal Engineering Undergraduate Curriculum" project. This initiative aims to embed sustainability concepts into core engineering courses and develop a new course that...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $348,995 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to develop a framework for training sustainability-minded engineers. The funding will support the purchase of new equipment for sustainable design and manufacturing, modifications to core engineering courses, creation of new sustainability-focused electives, and development of a new graduate program in Energy and Sustainability...
- 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...
- This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $866,879 to Arizona State University, Kennesaw State University, and Villanova University to transform engineering education by deeply integrating sustainability concepts into the curricula across the three universities. The transformative two-year initiative aims to fundamentally reshape how future engineers are trained, emphasizing the crucial role of sustainability in engineering...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $168,209 Project Grant to the West Virginia University Research Corporation (WVURC) for the collaborative research project "Forming Ethical Engineers: Integrating Embodied Carbon Education to Foster Ethical Responsibility in Environmental and Social Sustainability." This project aims to examine how sustainability education aligned with the Engineering for One Planet (EOP) framework can support the ethical formation of globally competitive engineers, particularly their development of environmental and social responsibility, to enhance the long-term economic competitiveness of the United States. The project will integrate EOP-aligned and embodied carbon-focused ethics modules into five engineering courses across West Virginia University and Purdue University, directly promoting the ethical formation of approximately 800 engineering students. The findings will contribute to the scholarship of engineering education and inform national efforts to strengthen undergraduate STEM instruction by forging partnerships between academia and industry for a sustainable economic future.
