Engineering and Science grant with specific veterans focus

The Innovations in Engineering Education, Curriculum, and Infrastructure (IEECI) program supports research that addresses three aspects of engineering education:

1. How students best learn the ideas, principles, and practices to become creative and innovative engineers, and how this learning is measured.
   
2. How to more effectively translate successes in engineering education research into widespread practice with consideration of curriculum, student learning, innovation models, and cyber-learning technology.
   
3. Implementation of programs for students supported by the GI Bill.
