This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)This engineering research award to the National Academy of Engineering will increase visibility of a more positive and accurate image of the engineering profession by translating the recommendations of the NAE 2008 report, "Changing the Conversation: Messages for Improving the Public Understanding of Engineering," into an action plan. This project will increase the impact of that report through development and support of a coordinated national messaging campaign. The two components of this effort will be a workshop for engineering thought leaders and an online toolkit for messaging resources. Our continued economic and technological development depends on attracting, retaining, and educating more engineers. Improving the image of engineering as a profession and systematically correcting public misconceptions about what engineers do and who can become an engineer will help increase the number and diversity of engineering students and the future engineering workforce. This work will have a significant impact on advancing that goal.

该奖项由《2009 年美国复苏与再投资法案》（公法 111-5）资助。这项颁发给美国国家工程院的工程研究奖将通过将 NAE 2008 年报告“改变对话：提高公众对工程理解的信息”的建议转化为行动计划，提高工程专业更积极、更准确形象的可见度。该项目将通过制定和支持协调一致的全国信息宣传活动来增强该报告的影响力。 这项工作的两个组成部分将是一个面向工程思想领袖的研讨会和一个用于消息传递资源的在线工具包。我们持续的经济和技术发展取决于吸引、留住和教育更多的工程师。改善工程作为一个职业的形象，系统地纠正公众对工程师的工作和谁可以成为工程师的误解，将有助于增加工程学生和未来工程劳动力的数量和多样性。这项工作将对推进这一目标产生重大影响。
