Engineering programs across the country are working to become more responsive to the changing needs of today's students. In response to this need, the NSF has funded 19 five-year Revolutionizing Engineering and Computer Science Departments (RED) projects from 2015-17, with a call for new proposals published in 2018. The preliminary results from funded RED projects show many examples of success. Transformative organizational change is difficult, however, and most project teams have navigated challenges related to leadership team dynamics. Most of these challenges are not shared with the broader community, in part, because of a fear of identifying individuals and of highlighting failures instead of successes. Yet, understanding the challenges associated with relationships in leadership teams is critical to making revolutionary change in engineering education. This project will develop a deeper understanding of team dynamics in large-scale engineering teams. This new knowledge will ultimately increase the effectiveness of RED teams and their organizational change initiatives, and will have implications for other large-scale initiatives such as Engineering Research Centers.This exploratory research project is focused on developing a critical understanding of roles, perspectives, and relationships within RED teams and the potential impact of these concepts on creating and sustaining organizational change to improve the education of engineers nationwide. The NSF PFE/IUSE: RED solicitation requires the inclusion of faculty and administrators who serve in specific roles and from specific backgrounds; this project develops an understanding of the lived experiences of the individuals who served in these roles on teams funded from 2015-2017. In particular, the work will investigate how the experiences of team members shape attempts at organizational change. The project explores the following research questions: How do roles, perspectives, relationships, and structures shape how teams face, frame, and navigate challenges and tensions, as they work towards revolutionary organizational change in engineering education? How have RED team roles, perspectives, relationships, and structures evolved over time? Data collection and analysis include artifact analysis of proposal documents, project websites, and shared RED documents. Narrative interviews with members of RED leadership teams, including principal investigators, social scientists, engineering education researchers, and disciplinary engineering faculty members will also be conducted. These data will be analyzed to identify larger patterns across interviews and develop broader themes. Findings will be disseminated in traditional venues, in workshops, and through white papers. By looking at the experiences of RED team members within specific roles across RED sites, key aspects of RED team dynamics (that cannot be reported on easily in individual teams because of the identifiable nature these roles) will be uncovered.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

全国各地的工程项目正在努力更好地满足当今学生不断变化的需求。为了满足这一需求，NSF 从 2015-17 年资助了 19 个为期五年的革命性工程和计算机科学部门 (RED) 项目，并于 2018 年发布了新提案征集。资助的 RED 项目的初步结果显示了许多例子成功。然而，变革性的组织变革是困难的，大多数项目团队都已经克服了与领导团队动态相关的挑战。大多数挑战都没有与更广泛的社区分享，部分原因是担心识别个人并强调失败而不是成功。然而，了解与领导团队关系相关的挑战对于工程教育的革命性变革至关重要。该项目将加深对大型工程团队中团队动态的了解。这些新知识最终将提高 RED 团队及其组织变革计划的有效性，并将对工程研究中心等其他大型计划产生影响。这个探索性研究项目的重点是对角色、观点和RED 团队内部的关系以及这些概念对创建和维持组织变革以改善全国工程师教育的潜在影响。 NSF PFE/IUSE：RED 征集要求包括担任特定角色和来自特定背景的教职员工和管理人员；该项目旨在了解 2015 年至 2017 年资助的团队中担任这些角色的个人的生活经历。特别是，这项工作将调查团队成员的经验如何影响组织变革的尝试。该项目探讨了以下研究问题：当团队致力于工程教育的革命性组织变革时，角色、观点、关系和结构如何塑造团队如何面对、构建和应对挑战和紧张局势？随着时间的推移，红队的角色、观点、关系和结构是如何演变的？数据收集和分析包括提案文档、项目网站和共享 RED 文档的工件分析。还将对 RED 领导团队成员（包括首席研究员、社会科学家、工程教育研究人员和学科工程教员）进行叙述性采访。这些数据将被分析，以识别访谈中更大的模式并开发更广泛的主题。研究结果将在传统场所、研讨会和白皮书中传播。通过查看 RED 站点中特定角色的 RED 团队成员的经验，将揭示 RED 团队动态的关键方面（由于这些角色的可识别性质，无法在各个团队中轻松报告）。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，并被认为值得支持。
