Session Description

Join us to explore the transformative impact of Engineering for US All (e4usa)!

In this 90-minute session, we will delve into e4usa's journey over the past six years as an NSF-funded project while highlighting the strong research foundation that underpins the newly formed 501(c)(3) e4usa nonprofit organization. We will present a subset of our team’s research findings spanning more than two decades and discuss how this research has shaped e4usa's trajectory. Specifically, we will review research findings on assessing student learning on open-ended, team-based engineering design projects, promoting diversity in engineering, designing inclusive curricula, and developing professional learning for high school teachers.

The session format includes a 60-minute presentation linking key research findings with the operational elements of the e4usa non-profit stemming from these findings. This will be followed by a 30-minute interactive segment where attendees can engage directly with our team. This segment encourages discussions on potential collaborations, reflections on our research findings, and sharing strategies for scaling similar projects for broader impact. Do not miss this opportunity to contribute to the dialogue aimed at democratizing and demystifying engineering for all.
