2022 IUSE / Professional Formation of Engineers: Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (IUSE/PFE: RED)

UArizona may submit a maximum of two proposals (e.g. 2 RED Innovation Track or 1 RED A&I Track and 1 RED Two-year Track).

For all tracks, the Principal Investigator must be a department chair/head (or equivalent) to provide leadership for the change process. Due to this requirement, this opportunity is Institutionally Coordinated.

The goal of the RED program is to catalyze revolutionary, not incrementally reformist, changes to the education of the next generation of engineers. Revolutionary means radically, suddenly, or completely new; producing fundamental, structural change; or going outside of or beyond existing norms and principles. The complex problems facing society in the 21st Century, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand changes to the way engineers are educated and the integration of new modes of learning for engineering students
