The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Cornell University $499,999 on September 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop a framework for enhancing pedagogical practices for teamwork in undergraduate engineering education. The project will synthesize research from education, organizational management, and engineering education to create resources that help faculty make deliberate decisions about how teams are formed, supported, guided, and assessed in undergraduate engineering courses. The framework will address common challenges including unbalanced participation, student isolation, unresolved conflict, and difficulty evaluating individual contributions. By improving the design and support of team-based learning, the project aims to strengthen undergraduate engineering education and better prepare future engineers for collaborative demands in the workforce. Work is performed in Ithaca, New York, with a period of performance through August 31, 2029. The assistance type is a project grant.
