White paper submissions sought for NSF program
The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research is soliciting white papers for the National Science Foundation's Revolutionizing Engineering Departments program until May 13, 2022.
The objective of the RED program is to build upon previous efforts in engineering education research. Specifically, previous and ongoing evaluations of the NSF Division of Engineering Education and Centers program and its predecessors, as well as related programs in the Directorate of Education and Human Resources, have shown prior investments have significantly improved the first year of engineering students’ experiences, incorporating engineering material, active learning approaches, design instruction, and a broad introduction to professional skills and a sense of professional practice – giving students an idea of what it means to become an engineer.
