- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.076 - STEM Education) in the amount of $300,000.00 aims to expand ethics education in undergraduate engineering curricula. The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year project include: Co-developing a case study curriculum with industry, government, and tribal stakeholders to incorporate indigenous and industry ethical perspectives beyond traditional engineering ethics training. The curriculum will be...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports a collaborative research project between West Virginia University and Purdue University. The project, titled "Forming Ethical Engineers: Integrating Embodied Carbon Education to Foster Ethical Responsibility in Environmental and Social Sustainability", aims to examine how sustainability education aligned with the Engineering for One Planet (EOP) framework can support the ethical development of engineers and their environmental and social responsibility. The $213,925 project will integrate EOP-aligned and embodied carbon-focused ethics modules into five engineering courses across the two institutions, directly promoting the ethical formation of approximately 800 engineering students. The findings will contribute to engineering education scholarship and inform national efforts to strengthen undergraduate STEM instruction by forging academia-industry partnerships to support the United States' sustainable economic competitiveness.
