This engineering education research initiation grant will partner engineering education researchers and material science faculty to look at how programming skills taught in a material science context help students learn material science concepts. The proposed research will investigate the impact the intervention has on both students and faculty at the participating institution.The broader significance and importance of this project will be to engage material science faculty in developing research-based content in material science as well as develop content modules that can be broadly disseminated. This project overlaps with NSF's strategic goals of transforming the frontiers by making investments that lead to emerging new fields of engineering, or shifting existing fields. Additionally NSF's goal of innovating for society is enabled by creating results and research that are useful for society by informing educational policy and practices.

这项工程教育研究启动拨款将与工程教育研究人员和材料科学教师合作，看看在材料科学的背景下教授的编程技能如何帮助学生学习材料科学的概念。这项拟议的研究将调查干预措施对参与机构的学生和教职员工的影响。该项目的更广泛的意义和重要性将是让材料科学教师参与开发基于研究的材料科学内容，以及开发可广泛传播的内容模块。该项目与NSF的战略目标相重叠，即通过投资于新兴的工程新领域或转移现有领域来改造边界。此外，NSF为社会创新的目标是通过创造对社会有用的结果和研究来实现的，这些成果和研究通过为教育政策和实践提供信息来实现。
