A&I Adapting Design Thinking to Transform the Professional Development of Electrical Engineers in California's Central Valley

This project will adapt and implement evidence-based practices from two prior NSF Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (RED) awards. The project will generate new knowledge about how successful strategies can be effectively translated to a new institutional context, with the goal of broadening th ...

Breaking the Binary

This revolutionary project will involve both students and faculty in a process of transforming the Computer Engineering (CPE) department at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and potentially engineering education as a whole, through rejecting binaries or dualisms commonly used to create hierarchies in engin ...

Reinventing the Instructional and Departmental Enterprise (RIDE) to Advance the Professional Formation of Electrical and Computer Engineers

Electrical and computer engineering (ECE) technologies have evolved from simple electronics and computing devices and tools to complex systems that profoundly change the world we live in. Designing these complex systems requires not only technical knowledge and skills but also new ways of thinking a ...

Revolutionizing Roles to Reimagine Integrated Systems of Engineering Formation

The current engineering educational system fails in two fundamentally critical ways. First, students who have the desire and aptitude to become accomplished and productive engineers are abandoning the discipline in startling numbers. Second, students who graduate are frequently not prepared for the ...

Multi-Department Culture Change through Common Sophomore Series

This IUSE/PFE: RED Planning project will initiate a transformative cultural shift across all engineering departments at Louisiana Tech University by focusing on a three-course sophomore series as the focus of a RED Track 2 grant in the future. This course sequence offers a multi-departmental coaliti ...

Enabling Convergence in Undergraduate Engineering through Structural Change

Today's world faces emerging economic and environmental challenges. From a historical perspective one of the most effective ways the nation has addressed such challenges is through investing in the development of new technologies. Such investment is not just in machines and methods, but also include ...

Radically Expanding Pathways in the Professional Formation of Engineers

The world is embracing a new type of engineer - a design thinker who is innovative, flexible, and collaborative. This project aims to transform the offerings of a traditional engineering department with a new curriculum model that emphasizes design and innovation approaches, offering students a vari ...
