The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) will conduct a study to identify significant engineering outcomes and impacts with origins in NSF-funded activities and their larger effects on society. The study will cover the period from 1950 to 2020, and it will be informed by broad engagement with engineering and related communities of stakeholders. The study will be conducted by an ad hoc committee of the NAE whose members will apply their expertise and experience in industry leadership, scholarly research, product development, public policy, and the communication of technology and science to general audiences. This study will provide an analysis of engineering impacts on U.S. technical, scientific, and economic achievements; increase the visibility of engineering among diverse audiences; and illuminate the role of NSF on the engineering research enterprise, the economic strength of the U.S., and the well-being of its people. A major goal of this project will be dissemination to illustrate how engineering impacts our lives and the role of engineering and engineers in society and the economy.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.

美国国家工程院（NAE）将进行一项研究，以确定NSF资助活动的重要工程成果和影响及其对社会的更大影响。该研究将涵盖1950年至2020年期间，并将通过与工程和相关利益相关者社区的广泛参与来提供信息。这项研究将由NAE的一个特设委员会进行，其成员将运用他们在行业领导、学术研究、产品开发、公共政策以及向普通受众传播技术和科学方面的专业知识和经验。这项研究将分析工程对美国技术，科学和经济成就的影响;增加工程在不同受众中的可见度;并阐明NSF对工程研究企业的作用，美国的经济实力，和人民的福祉该项目的一个主要目标是传播工程如何影响我们的生活以及工程和工程师在社会和经济中的作用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
