Opportunity Information: Apply for PD 15 1340
The Research in the Formation of Engineers (RFE) program, initiated by the NSF Engineering Directorate, is part of a long-term initiative aimed at creating a more innovative and inclusive engineering profession for the 21st century. RFE focuses on the processes through which people become engineers, emphasizing ethical practices that contribute to improving quality of life and addressing national challenges.
Key aspects of the initiative include:
1. Defining Professional Formation of Engineers (PFE): This encompasses various ways individuals enter the profession, acquire skills, develop professional identities, and become acclimated to engineering standards and norms.
2. Encouraging Comprehensive Research: Proposals are invited that explore the construction of engineering knowledge and identity, as well as interventions to expand these areas.
3. Impact on the Engineering Formation System: Projects should aim to transform the engineering formation system, detailing how the proposed research can broadly impact practice within it, even extending beyond the immediate scope.
4. Addressing Professional Challenges: The RFE initiative seeks to reshape professional formation processes in areas such as holistic education, diversifying engineering pathways, and enhancing community and public engagement with engineering.
5. Core Research Themes: These include advancing holistic engineering education, enhancing preparation for interdisciplinary engagement, exploring new pathways into engineering, developing community capacity for informed decision-making, and establishing theories of professional formation.
6. Focus on Scaling and Translation: Proposals should demonstrate how research findings will be communicated and implemented effectively within the engineering community.
The program accepts a variety of project scales, from small exploratory to large systemic investigations, encouraging the submission of projects with transformative potential. Funding for each project is expected to average around $100,000 annually. Overall, the RFE aims to foster an engineering profession that is responsive to societal needs and inclusive of diverse backgrounds and identities.Apply for PD 15 1340
