Engineering for One Planet: Scaling for Impact Workshop

“为一个地球而工程”（EOP）扩大影响研讨会将召集不同的教育工作者、工程师和其他利益相关者，探索和扩展扩大EOP倡议的新方法。EOP倡议旨在改变国家工程课程，将环境可持续性作为专业的核心价值。它的愿景是，所有工程师都将具备保护地球及其赖以生存的生命的技能、知识和理解。这次研讨会将使VentureWell和Lemelson基金会提高意识，吸引新的支持者，在全国范围内实施EOP愿景。它与NSF EEC部门的目标一致，即培养21世纪的工程师和发现更具可持续性的新革命性技术。VentureWell将与Lemelson基金会合作，举办为期1.5天的会议，以确定、探索和制定一个路线图，以扩大和维持EOP计划的覆盖范围和影响。通过召集大量参与者（来自代表各种身份和经验的多个部门和学科），并促进一系列深入讨论，以获取有关最有希望推进该计划的方法的关键信息，这些讨论旨在征求意见和建议，以便将EOP计划扩展到目前的倡导者群体之外。VentureWell将领导和管理所有项目活动，而Lemelson基金会将作为战略合作伙伴，并利用其通过该计划建立的重要专业知识和社区。这次会议的共同目标是提出建议并推动行动，以改变工程教育，使所有学生都能将环境可持续性原则作为其教育的一个组成部分，并具备将这些原则纳入其未来研究、职业和创新所需的工具。为实现这一目标，EOP影响力扩展研讨会将：1)确保参与者理解EOP及其重塑工程教育的愿景；2)为完善EOP框架（教授将环境可持续性纳入课程的指南）制定优先事项和建议；3)确保JEDI（正义、公平、多样性和包容性）实践嵌入到EOP扩展工作中；4)加强现有合作并促进参与者之间的新关系；5)确定方法和建议，为EOP集体影响倡议的五年路线图设计提供信息。这些努力将使EOP的愿景达到最大的影响和规模。这次会议将产生有关课程改革制度化的见解；使优先利益攸关方和组成部分参与的方法和机制；来自代表性不足群体的个人的参与；如何修订EOP框架以纳入JEDI；以及可用于评估EOP愿景进展的度量标准和方法。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

The Engineering For One Planet (EOP) Scaling for Impact Workshop will convene a diverse group of educators, engineers, and other stakeholders to explore and expand new approaches to scaling the EOP initiative. The EOP initiative seeks to transform the national engineering curriculum to include environmental sustainability as a core value in the profession. Its vision is that all engineers will be equipped with the skills, knowledge, and understanding to protect the planet and the life it sustains. This workshop will enable VentureWell and The Lemelson Foundation to increase awareness and attract new supporters to implement the EOP vision on a national scale. It aligns with the NSF EEC division's objectives for the creation of 21st century engineers and the discovery of new revolutionary technologies that are more sustainable. VentureWell, in partnership with The Lemelson Foundation, will host a 1.5 day convening to identify, explore, and develop a roadmap for scaling and sustaining the reach and impact of the EOP initiative. Critical information about the most promising ways to advance the initiative will be learned through assembling a large group of participants (from multiple sectors and disciplines that represent a variety of identities and experiences) and facilitating a series of in-depth discussions designed to elicit ideas and recommendations for expanding the EOP initiative beyond its current group of champions. VentureWell will lead and manage all project activities, while The Lemelson Foundation will act as a strategic partner and leverage the significant expertise and community it has built through the initiative. The collective goal of this convening is to generate recommendations and fuel action to transform engineering education so that all students encounter environmental sustainability principles as an integrated part of their education and are equipped with the tools needed to incorporate these principles into their future research, careers, and innovations. To accomplish this, the EOP Scaling for Impact Workshop will: 1) ensure participants understand the EOP and its vision for reshaping engineering education; 2) develop priorities and recommendations for refining the EOP Framework (a guide for professors to integrate environmental sustainability into their curriculum); 3) ensure that JEDI (justice, equity, diversity and inclusion) practices are embedded into the EOP scaling efforts; 4) strengthen existing collaborations and fostering new relationships among participants; and 5) identify approaches and recommendations that will inform the design of a five-year roadmap for an EOP Collective Impact Initiative. These efforts will enable the achievement of the EOP vision with maximum impact and scale. The convening will generate insights pertaining to the institutionalization of curricular change; approaches and mechanisms for engaging priority stakeholders and constituents; the engagement of individuals from underrepresented groups; how the EOP Framework should be revised to incorporate JEDI; and metrics and approaches that can be used to assess progress toward the EOP vision.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.
