Engineering Education Funding at the National Science Foundation

The goal of this session is to increase the participants' knowledge of current funding opportunities at the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support projects with potential significant impacts on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. In particular, the discussion will focus on new and current funding opportunities in the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) in the Directorate of Education and Human Resources (EHR) and the Division of Engineering Education & Centers (EEC) in the Directorate of Engineering. During the session, we will provide examples of project activities that support STEM education research opportunities. The session will use a highly interactive format (i.e., team-based activities and discussion) to engage the participants, to clarify misconceptions, and to potentially initiate and share new ideas pertinent to engineering education research and innovations in classroom implementations. This session facilitates idea sharing and interaction amongst peers.
