REU Site: Engineering Education Research for U.S. Workforce Development The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Engineering Education and Centers awarded $463,714 to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln under CFDA 47.041 (Engineering) for a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site effective October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029. The award supports an immersive undergraduate research program that engages students in engineering education research (EER) projects with direct applications to professional practice and workforce development. The program delivers research experiences connecting theory-driven studies on how engineers learn and develop as professionals to real-world engineering challenges, including evidence-based safety training development in construction contexts. By offering structured research mentorship, the site generates and disseminates findings that inform curriculum design, classroom instruction, and professional preparedness pathways. The REU Site prioritizes broadening participation in STEM by recruiting students from institutions with limited research opportunities, strengthening undergraduate pathways into graduate education in engineering education research, and addressing documented gaps in field awareness among students and faculty. Through hands-on involvement in projects demonstrating the societal relevance of EER—such as safety interventions that protect workers and save lives—the program cultivates a pipeline of future EER scholars while simultaneously contributing to a more adaptable and competent engineering workforce prepared to address national priorities in technological innovation, infrastructure, supply chain resilience, and national security.
