Designing Transformative Engineering Education Projects Towards National Science Foundation Funding Success

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awards millions annually to transform and continuously improve STEM education and engineering education in the United States. In order to position the engineering education community towards funding success, this session is designed to help investigators who are new to NSF and new to funded engineering education projects. Following common guidelines towards effective education research projects (from foundational research to design and development research to efficacy research to scale-up research), session attendees will learn about the critical elements that lead to successful engineering education projects and learn about a variety of NSF Programs that support engineering education transformation initiatives, from course-level innovations to curricular transformations to institutional transformations.
