Description

The NSF Engineering Directorate has launched a multi-year initiative called the Professional Formation of Engineers to support an innovative and inclusive engineering profession. The Research in the Formation of Engineers (RFE) program aims to advance understanding of professional formation through Research Projects and Design and Development Projects. Research Projects focus on fundamental questions of professional formation, while Design and Development Projects develop new approaches to achieve professional formation. Proposals should address how research results will be translated into practice and impact the engineer-formation system.
