The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded $999,943 to the Trustees of The Colorado School of Mines on August 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to transform the institution's materials science and engineering department curriculum through integrated instructional design and enhanced computational literacy. The project will implement a connected instructional model designed to cultivate students' knowledge and their ability to transfer that knowledge to new contexts, producing career-ready engineers with improved conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, critical thinking skills, and greater comfort with data, uncertainty, and computational tools including artificial intelligence. The initiative will address the current challenge of undergraduate students in the second and third years of engineering programs struggling to build upon knowledge across isolated courses and apply that knowledge in new workplace contexts. The project will change department culture through collaborative development of instructional content among faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, employers, and alumni; modify pedagogy in how instructional content is delivered; establish data and computational infrastructure; and develop programs and incentives for teaching innovation. Performance runs through July 31, 2030, at Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado.
