Engineering programs across the country are working to become more responsive to the changing needs of today's students. In response to this need, the NSF has funded 19 five-year Revolutionizing Engineering and Computer Science Departments (RED) projects from 2015-17, with a call for new proposals published in 2018. The preliminary results from funded RED projects show many examples of success. Transformative organizational change is difficult, however, and most project teams have navigated challenges related to leadership team dynamics. Most of these challenges are not shared with the broader community, in part, because of a fear of identifying individuals and of highlighting failures instead of successes. Yet, understanding the challenges associated with relationships in leadership teams is critical to making revolutionary change in engineering education. This project will develop a deeper understanding of team dynamics in large-scale engineering teams. This new knowledge will ultimately increase the effectiveness of RED teams and their organizational change initiatives, and will have implications for other large-scale initiatives such as Engineering Research Centers.This exploratory research project is focused on developing a critical understanding of roles, perspectives, and relationships within RED teams and the potential impact of these concepts on creating and sustaining organizational change to improve the education of engineers nationwide. The NSF PFE/IUSE: RED solicitation requires the inclusion of faculty and administrators who serve in specific roles and from specific backgrounds; this project develops an understanding of the lived experiences of the individuals who served in these roles on teams funded from 2015-2017. In particular, the work will investigate how the experiences of team members shape attempts at organizational change. The project explores the following research questions: How do roles, perspectives, relationships, and structures shape how teams face, frame, and navigate challenges and tensions, as they work towards revolutionary organizational change in engineering education? How have RED team roles, perspectives, relationships, and structures evolved over time? Data collection and analysis include artifact analysis of proposal documents, project websites, and shared RED documents. Narrative interviews with members of RED leadership teams, including principal investigators, social scientists, engineering education researchers, and disciplinary engineering faculty members will also be conducted. These data will be analyzed to identify larger patterns across interviews and develop broader themes. Findings will be disseminated in traditional venues, in workshops, and through white papers. By looking at the experiences of RED team members within specific roles across RED sites, key aspects of RED team dynamics (that cannot be reported on easily in individual teams because of the identifiable nature these roles) will be uncovered.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

全国各地的工程项目正在努力变得更加适应当今学生不断变化的需求。为了满足这一需求，NSF从2015年至2017年资助了19个为期五年的革命性工程和计算机科学部门（RED）项目，并呼吁在2018年发布新的提案。获得资助的RED项目的初步结果显示了许多成功的例子。然而，变革性的组织变革是困难的，大多数项目团队都面临着与领导团队动态相关的挑战。这些挑战中的大多数没有与更广泛的社区分享，部分原因是害怕识别个人和强调失败而不是成功。然而，了解与领导团队关系相关的挑战对于工程教育的革命性变革至关重要。这个项目将开发在大型工程团队的团队动力学的更深入的理解。这些新知识将最终提高RED团队及其组织变革计划的有效性，并将对其他大型计划（如工程研究中心）产生影响。以及这些概念对创建和维持组织变革以改善教育的潜在影响全国工程师NSF PFE/IUSE：RED征集要求包括教师和管理人员谁在特定的角色和特定的背景服务;这个项目开发了谁在这些角色的团队从2015年至2017年资助的个人的生活经验的理解。特别是，工作将调查团队成员的经验如何塑造组织变革的尝试。该项目探讨了以下研究问题：角色，观点，关系和结构如何塑造团队如何面对，框架和导航的挑战和紧张局势，因为他们对工程教育的革命性组织变革的工作？RED团队的角色、观点、关系和结构是如何随着时间的推移而演变的？数据收集和分析包括提案文档、项目网站和共享RED文档的工件分析。还将对RED领导团队的成员进行叙述式采访，包括主要研究人员，社会科学家，工程教育研究人员和学科工程教师。这些数据将被分析，以确定更大的模式在采访和发展更广泛的主题。调查结果将在传统场所、讲习班和白色文件中传播。通过查看RED团队成员在RED站点的特定角色中的经验，将揭示RED团队动态的关键方面（由于这些角色的可识别性，无法在单个团队中轻松报告）。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
