Our seed grant program with Oregon State University Ecampus supports innovative research in online engineering education. By funding preliminary studies and facilitating collaborative grant proposals, we pave the way for larger projects and advancements in online learning.

CREEdO's seed grant competition helps computing and engineering education researchers and instructors in the OSU College of Engineering to conduct initial research into novel ways of supporting online learning.

While not required, we strongly encourage seed grant recipients to conduct their investigations within the context of OSU's highly-ranked online degree programs in computing and engineering. Indeed, Oregon State’s online programs and courses provide a great context for exploring online teaching and learning at the micro and macro levels. 

It turn, such research can produce results that not only benefit our Ecampus programs and courses, but also generalize to broader populations.
