Engineering Research Centers (ERCs) across the nation have been funded by theNational Science Foundation (NSF) since 1985; 14 are currently operating [1]. These ERCs haveplayed a big part in not only advancing engineering and technology but also integrating research,education, and workforce development [1]. NSF requires each ERC to provide educational andprofessional development opportunities for professionals, post-doctoral researchers, graduatestudents, undergraduate students, K-14 teachers, and K-12 students. At the same time, data-driven approaches are recommended to evaluate and track the performance and impacts of theseopportunities [2]; findings are required as part of the center’s annual report and site visitpresentations.
