Engineering Education Pioneers and Trajectories of Impact

这个工程教育研究项目旨在阐明过去在工程教育方面的变革努力，以促进教育未来工程劳动力的计划的持续改进。 该项目将通过汇集研究生和成功的领导者和变革推动者来研究未来变革推动者的发展，然后收集，分析和发布访谈。 该分析将用于告知如何将教学创新更好地融入现有的工程课程。该项目更广泛的意义和重要性在于，它既揭示了工程课程如何发生变化，又让未来的领导者收集和理解过去如何发生变化。 将努力广泛传播变革推动者的故事。 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为教育政策和实践提供信息来创造对社会有用的结果和研究。

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.
