The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Rowan University $398,883 on October 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to investigate how choice-based, open-ended engineering capstone projects influence undergraduate engineering student motivation and professional preparation. The project will employ qualitative and quantitative research methods to identify features of choice-based capstone experiences that students find intrinsically valuable for professional development. Rowan will conduct interviews with undergraduate engineering students to determine the criteria they use to select open-ended projects and the professional outcomes they attribute to their experiences. Interview findings will inform development and distribution of a nationally representative survey instrument designed to identify patterns of project features that maximize student engagement and professional preparation outcomes. The survey will be made available to other institutions as a tool for designing choice-based engineering capstone projects that support undergraduate engineering students' professional trajectories nationwide. Performance of work will occur in Glassboro, New Jersey, with a period of performance from award date through September 30, 2029. This Level I Engaged Student Learning project is classified as a Project Grant.
