- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant awarded to CAL Poly Corporation will chart the development of sociotechnical thinking in engineering students and professionals. The $171,088 award will run from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027. The project will use scenario-based design tasks and interviews to examine how engineers' reasoning about social, cultural, political, environmental and other contextual factors evolves as they gain education and professional...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under CFDA 47.041 Engineering, aims to engage undergraduate students in transformative research experiences focused on smart cities, with an emphasis on smart power and energy systems. The $391,371 award, effective from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028, will be administered by the University of Denver. The project addresses national priorities in energy security, infrastructure resilience, and workforce development by preparing...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $184,727 to the University of Connecticut to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating human rights education into engineering curricula. The project aims to develop, deploy, and assess the efficacy of human rights training modules for incorporation into engineering courses, with the goal of positively impacting engineering students' attitudes towards human rights and their awareness of the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $400,000 project grant to Brown University under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) titled "Design and Development: Cross Disciplinary Co-Teaching Sustainability Across the Formal and Informal Engineering Undergraduate Curriculum." The project aims to embed sustainability concepts into core engineering courses, develop a new course that pairs students with community partners and industry to tackle real-world sustainability...
- The University of Michigan will receive $350,000 in funding from the National Science Foundation under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to support research advancing engineers' ability to recognize, strategize about, and act on concerns related to public welfare from May 2021 through April 2024. Specifically, the University will conduct research projects aimed at improving how engineers are educated and trained to consider social and ethical implications of technologies in...
- 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 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will transform engineering education to cultivate a holistic "enviro-socio-technical" mindset for future engineers. The $121,669 award, effective from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028, will empower students to seamlessly integrate technical knowledge with critical societal and environmental considerations when designing sustainable solutions. The research project, led by the University of Colorado, aims to bridge the gap in current engineering education that often separates these dimensions, enabling future engineers to become leaders in tackling grand societal challenges. This aligns with the National Science Foundation's commitment to advancing foundational research that yields broad societal benefits, strengthens STEM education, and builds a workforce prepared for the 21st century.
