NSF Program Solicitation: NSF 15-585
Priorities include educating students to be leaders and innovators in emerging and rapidly changing STEM fields as well as educating a scientifically literate populace. Both of these priorities depend on the nature and quality of the undergraduate education experience.
The impact of spaces on learning will be illustrated by photos from the architectural portfolios that are part of the Roundtable experience.
