- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded a $274,573 Project Grant to the University of Alabama Office for Sponsored Programs Division under CFDA Program #47.041 Engineering. The award, which runs from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2028, will fund research to develop a resilience assessment framework that tracks the accumulated costs of nuisance floods as an indicator of sea-level rise. The project aims to use this information to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded the University of Central Florida Board of Trustees $153,256 on October 15, 2026, to develop an integrated systems model of organizational resilience in engineering departments under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The project will characterize relationships among student, faculty/staff, and departmental resilience, then investigate how this model impacts student outcomes. The deliverables include a validated integrated systems model of organizational resilience in engineering departments, accompanied by supporting assessment tools that educators and administrators can use to evaluate departmental resilience and test strategies for developing multi-level resilience. The project will advance understanding of how dimensions of engineering education resilience relate to one another and support engaged student learning, culminating in multi-level strategies for building resilience across individuals and systems within engineering departments. Results will be used to design systematic approaches for engineering departments to improve resilience over time and better support student learning in rapidly changing environments. Performance extends through September 30, 2028, at the University of Central Florida's Alafaya, Florida location.
