Our Grant Programs
What We Fund
Our grant activity supports developmental projects, instructional projects, and training programs in engineering education and research that fit our fields of interest. These currently include 1) enhancing communication and use of information skills of engineering students, and 2) recruiting and retaining women in engineering.
