The University of Illinois was awarded a $300,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) federal grant program (CFDA #47.076).
The three-year project aims to help improve and scale introductory programming courses through automated code-reading exercises. As part of its work under the grant, the University will develop automated assessment tools to provide students with feedback on programming assignments without extensive involvement from instructors. This supports the federal grant program's goal of ensuring the vitality of the nation's STEM education enterprise by enhancing learning in computer science courses through innovative instructional methods.
