Engineering Education Proposal Writing and Project Management Workshop

Participants will be engaged in proven strategies and techniques for writing proposals to and managing projects for the National Science Foundation (NSF) Divisions of Undergraduate Education (DUE) and Engineering Education and Centers (EEC). Through hands-on activities, participants will learn how to a) analyze a program announcement/solicitation, b) align their project ideas with program goals, c) identify relevant prior work, and d) craft responsive engineering education proposals. Participants will also look forward to receipt of an award and learn how to effectively manage an on-going project with due attention to budgeting, evaluation, sustain ability, and reporting requirements. Workshop participants will receive a new handbook, fusing attention to research, engineering education, and project management into a seamless whole. The handbook and workshop build upon guidance developed by NSF program officers and grantees. This workshop is being offered as a project of the Center for the Advancement of Scholarship on Engineering Education (CASEE) of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) consistent with its emphasis on enhancing excellence in engineering education including education research
