Svihla honored with NSF CAREER Award
January 25, 2018 - FACETS
From the SOE website news article by Kim Delker:
Dr. Vanessa Svihla is the recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER Award. The $516,000 project, called “Framing and Reframing Agency in Making and Engineering (FRAME),” began on Jan. 1 and will be funded through 2022.
She says the ultimate goal of the project is to develop a framework that can be used as standard practice.
“I am developing research and tools to identify experiences that develop students’ framing agency,” Svihla said. “What I hope to have at the end are tools that faculty can use and implement to support their students. It’s important for faculty to have support because directing open-ended design projects can seem daunting. They may not know why one project fails and another succeeds.”
