This funding opportunity supports multi-year research and design projects focused on the professional formation of engineers. It encourages studies on lifelong learning, culture change, transitions across education levels, and integration of new technologies in engineering education. Projects must demonstrate how research results will translate into practice and impact the engineering formation system broadly. Both fundamental research and innovative design approaches are supported, with emphasis on inclusivity and sustainability.
