Projects should take place at organizations that support the professional formation of engineers. These include all eligible types of higher education institutions. These also include other academic, informal, center-based, or workplace-based engineering or engineering technology programs.

Investigators should propose projects along one of two types:innovationprojects, andadaptation/implementationprojects. Innovation projects develop and apply new cultural or curricular innovations at a particular setting. These innovations can represent the first practical implementation of established theory. In contrast,Adaptation/Implementationprojects build on past work to adapt existing models to new contexts.
