The National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers awarded Washington State University $500,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to transform chemical engineering education through integrated team-based, hands-on, and web-based interactive learning. The project integrates desktop learning modules, web interactive digital experiments, and engineering projects throughout the chemical engineering curriculum at the Gene and Linda Voiland School of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering. The initiative implements continuous, mentor-guided, team-based learning from first year through senior year to address gaps in practical industrial knowledge and professional teamwork skills. The project team will develop and analyze scalable, open-source educational tools and low-cost equipment designs, making them available through open access to support global transformation of engineering pedagogy. The work includes a longitudinal study comparing student outcomes from conventional lectures against the new interactive paradigm and will examine how the integrated approach affects student learning, retention, and teamwork across different modes of engagement. Place of performance is Pullman, Washington. The period of performance runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2031.
