Webinar Monday, September 16, 3-4 pm ET
Read the Report
Engineering innovations expand technological capabilities, foster economic growth, and strengthen national security, yet the societal impacts of engineering often go unnoticed. Raising awareness of these impacts is crucial to ensuring that engineering research and education continue to serve humanity.
Since its inception in 1950, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has played a critical role in funding cutting-edge research in engineering. At the request of NSF, a new report from an expert committee formed by the National Academies explores how investments in engineering research and education have led to positive societal impacts and offers advice on how to communicate this information to diverse audiences.
This webinar will review the key takeaways from the “Impacts of National Science Foundation Engineering Research Support” consensus study, which expands on the committee’s “Extraordinary Engineering Impacts on Society: Proceedings of a Symposium” publication and presents conclusions and recommendations on how to best promote understanding of engineering’s place in society and how NSF contributes to engineering advances that affect everyday life.
