Scope
The goal of the Engineering Education Program of the Division
of Engineering Education and Centers is to increase the quantity
and quality of U.S. citizens who earn BS degrees in engineering.
The attractiveness of engineering study has not kept pace with the
importance of engineering in driving our nation's prosperity.
The continuation of the technology explosion of the second half
of the 20th century requires the availability of a diverse and highly
capable technical workforce. Experience to date has shown that students
can be attracted to and retained in engineering programs if they
are exposed early to the joys of creation through design, discovery
through research and invention through hands-on experimentation.
We welcome unsolicited proposals from faculty with cutting edge
new ideas for undergraduate engineering education improvements.
We have not offered such a wide-open competition for a long time
and do so now to encourage the most creative suggestions.
Target Dates
The target dates for submission of proposals are January 9 and July
9. The effective date for an award will be approximately six months
after the deadlines.
NOTE: All program proposal due dates that fall on a weekend or a holiday are due the following working day by 5:00 PM your local time.

Proposers are reminded to prepare proposals according to the Grant
Proposal Guide.
