The Organizational Changein the Professional Formation of Engineers (ENGINEER:OC) area supports research and activitiesthat revolutionize the professional formation of engineersat scale. This effort helps NSF expand access to high-quality engineering education and workforce development pathways for all. Projects should take place at organizations that support the professional formation of engineers. These include all eligible types of higher education institutions. These also include other academic, informal, center-based, or workplace-based engineering or engineering technology programs. Investigators should propose projects along one of two types:innovationprojects, andadaptation/implementationprojects. Innovation projects develop and apply new cultural or curricular innovations at a particular setting. These innovations can represent the first practical implementation of established theory. In contrast,Adaptation/Implementationprojects build on past work to adapt existing models to new contexts.
