Engineering Education Pioneers and Trajectories of Impact

这一工程教育研究项目旨在阐明工程教育过去的变革努力，以促进培养未来工程劳动力的计划的持续改进。该项目将通过将研究生、成功的领导者和变革推动者聚集在一起，然后收集、分析和发布访谈，来研究未来变革推动者的发展。这一分析将被用来告知如何将教与学的创新更好地整合到现有的工程课程中。这个项目的更广泛的意义和重要性在于，它既揭示了工程专业如何发生变化，也让未来的领导者收集和了解过去是如何发生变化的。改革推动者的故事将通过广泛传播的努力提供。该项目与NSF的战略目标重叠，即通过加强研究基础设施和数据访问来扩大研究能力，从而改变前沿。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。

This engineering education research project seeks to shed light on past change efforts in engineering education in order to facilitate continuing improvement in the programs that educate the future engineering workforce. The project will study the development of prospective change agents by bringing together graduate students and successful leaders and change agents, then collect, analyze, and publish interviews. The analysis will be used to inform how innovations in teaching and learning can be better integrated into existing engineering curricula.The broader significance and importance of this project is that it both sheds light on how change happens in engineering program, and engages future leaders in collecting and understanding how change has occurred in the past. The stories of the change agents will be made available through efforts at wide dissemination. This project overlaps with NSF's strategic goals of transforming the frontiers by enhancing research infrastructure and data access to broaden research capabilities. 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.
