Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Engineering Education and Centers awarded Boston College a $228,116 Project Grant (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering program) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029, to design and develop the Engineering for One Planet (EOP) framework integrated with place-based learning. The primary deliverables include: (1) a hyper-local rainfall sensor network developed by undergraduate students and installed by middle school students across three cities in two states in the Northeast; (2) an associated middle school curriculum emphasizing urban resilience and flood preparedness; and (3) a multi-city research collaborative that engages middle school students in real-time data collection for flood forecasting and emergency response applications. The project addresses spatial and temporal gaps in rainfall data while motivating students to pursue engineering pathways by demonstrating how collaborative engineering solutions support community well-being and preparedness. Boston College will distribute publicly available curricular materials to enable additional sites to expand the rainfall sensor network and research program, thereby increasing both the geographic scope of educational engagement and the density of rainfall data collection for urban flood resilience initiatives. This design and development research project emphasizes interdisciplinary engineering solutions to challenges with social, environmental, regional, and localized implications, positioning the institution as a lead partner in NSF's engineering workforce development priorities.
