Transforming engineering education is the goal of $2 million NSF grant
August 31, 2016 - Kim Delker / FACETS
From the University of New Mexico School of Engineering news article by Kim Delker:
Faculty from The University of New Mexico are leading a project that has the potential to revolutionize how undergraduate engineering is taught, making it more attractive to groups that are currently underrepresented in the discipline.
“FACETS: Formation of Accomplished Chemical Engineers for Transforming Society” is a 5-year, $2 million project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). It is led by Abhaya Datye, Sang M. Han, and Eva Chi, all from UNM’s Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, and as well as Vanessa Svihla and Sung (Pil) Kang, from UNM’s Organization, Information and Learning Sciences (OILS) program. This project builds on a research initiation grant that NSF awarded last year to the team led by Datye, Svihla, and Jamie Gomez, also from chemical and biological engineering.
