This engineering education research project seeks to shed light on past change efforts in engineering education in order to facilitate continuing improvement in the programs that educate the future engineering workforce. The project will study the development of prospective change agents by bringing together graduate students and successful leaders and change agents, then collect, analyze, and publish interviews. The analysis will be used to inform how innovations in teaching and learning can be better integrated into existing engineering curricula.The broader significance and importance of this project is that it both sheds light on how change happens in engineering program, and engages future leaders in collecting and understanding how change has occurred in the past. The stories of the change agents will be made available through efforts at wide dissemination. This project overlaps with NSF's strategic goals of transforming the frontiers by enhancing research infrastructure and data access to broaden research capabilities. Additionally NSF's goal of innovating for society is enabled by creating results and research that are useful for society by informing educational policy and practices.

该工程教育研究项目旨在阐明工程教育的过去变化工作，以促进对未来工程劳动力的教育计划的继续改进。 该项目将通过召集研究生和成功的领导者和变革代理，然后收集，分析和发布访谈来研究潜在变革代理的发展。 该分析将用于告知教学中的创新如何更好地整合到现有的工程课程中。该项目的更广泛的意义和重要性在于，这既阐明了工程计划中的变化如何发生，并吸引未来的领导者收集和了解过去如何发生变化。 变革代理的故事将通过广泛的传播来提供。 该项目与NSF通过增强研究基础架构和数据访问来扩展研究能力的战略目标重叠。此外，NSF通过为社会创造的成果和研究来实现对社会的创新目标，这些结果和研究通过为教育政策和实践提供信息而对社会有用。
