Eunjung Grace Oh, associate professor Education Policy, Organization & Leadership, is a co-PI on a new National Science Foundation-funded project titled Collaborate, Elevate, and Engineer Together: Exploring the Role of Organizational Citizenship Behavior.
The project will focus on improving students' learning and engagement in mechanical engineering courses. It will introduce the idea of organizational citizenship behavior into the classroom, encouraging students to go beyond just doing their own work to help each other, much like good teammates in a workplace. Engineering students often gain strong technical skills, but perform even better when they feel welcome and supported by their classmates.
The project is funded at $499,990, which will be split between the College of Education, the University of New Mexico, and the University of Georgia.
