Course, Curriculum, and LaboratoryImprovement (CCLI)•CCLI seeks to improve the quality of STEM education for all students by targeting activities affecting learning environments, course content,curricula, and educational practices•Supports projects at all levels of undergraduate education•Supports activities in the classroom, laboratory,and field settings
•NSF 05-559, CCLI Phase 1 this spring
9
CCLI Goals and Objectives: A New Emphasis
Provide a framework for projects to maximize their effectiveness in improving undergraduate STEM education
Increase the emphasis on projects that build on prior work and contribute to the knowledge base of STEM education research and practice
Contribute to building a community of scholars who work in related areas of education
Explicitly identify a set of measurable outcomes that will be used in the project management and evaluation

Engineering Education Programs (EEP)
Research is sought that contributes to our basic understanding of how students learn engineering. We are interested in research that addresses: the aims and objectives of engineering education, the content and organization of the curriculum, how students learn problem solving, creativity and design, new methods for assessment and evaluation of how students
learn engineering, and research that helps us understand how to attract a more
talented and diverse student body to all levels of engineering study.
