Dear Colleague Letter: NSF-Lemelson Initiative on Environmental and Social Sustainability in Engineering Education

The U.S. National Science Foundation and The Lemelson Foundation have announced a new joint initiative to support the integration of environmental and social sustainability into the education of future engineers. Lemelson will provide up to $3 million over three years to support qualified engineering education projects through the NSF Research in the Formation of Engineers program.

To support a sustainable future, projects may focus on addressing societal challenges; developing case studies and sustainability engineering content; exploring engineering identities and beliefs about sustainability; integrating sustainability with engineering design; and other areas.

Information about the special funding opportunity is available in the Dear Colleague Letter for the initiative: NSF-Lemelson Initiative on Environmental and Social Sustainability in Engineering Education (NSF 24-028).
