The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Kean University $270,571 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to integrate socially responsible design practices into undergraduate computer science curricula across four universities. Kean University leads a multisite collaborative research project spanning institutions in Colorado, New Jersey, Oregon, and Virginia—encompassing large and small, rural and urban, private and public, R1 and R2 settings, with both in-person and online delivery. The project aims to generalize an earlier pilot approach by enabling faculty at the four partner universities to teach incremental socially responsible design content in selected courses throughout their four-year CS curricula. Students will apply these practices to software they create in their classes, with the expectation that they carry these skills into their careers. The project targets up to 30,000 STEM students across the participating programs and seeks to measure improvements in student academic performance (grades, retention, software design outcomes), educational climate, and faculty development. Performance runs through September 30, 2029, with place of performance at Union, New Jersey.
