- The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) was awarded a $333,842 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program. The grant will fund the design and implementation of a modernized first-year introductory computer science course sequence that incorporates fundamental elements of parallel and distributed computation. The project aims to remedy a key impediment in updating introductory computing curricula - the lack of example...
- This three-year, $349,987 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the University of Houston to understand and mitigate the impacts of code intelligence systems in introductory programming courses. The university will develop infrastructure for students to use intelligent code generation tools in a web development environment. It will then conduct pilot experiments examining effects on student tinkering behaviors and self-efficacy. An...
- The University of California, San Diego was awarded a $299,973 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to determine the effectiveness of live coding on student learning in introductory programming. The project will assess how live coding, where instructors demonstrate programming live in front of students, impacts student comprehension, engagement and performance in gateway computer science courses from January 2021 through December 2023. As...
- This National Science Foundation award under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $238,468 to Utah State University to conduct research on how novice computer programming students write code. The project aims to analyze students' coding processes using keystroke data to understand how they problem-solve and develop programming skills. The research team plans to develop models of student thinking and programming practices, identifying best practices that can be adopted to improve...
- This $200,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to enhance learning and motivation in introductory programming courses at Georgia Gwinnett College, a Hispanic-serving institution. The key products and services to be delivered include: Integrating research-supported pedagogies and automated tools to accommodate diverse learning styles, including hiring and mentoring a diverse group of peer tutors and producing a video library to...
- The University of Texas at Dallas was awarded a $201,404 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to advance quantum information science education through virtual reality and machine learning. Over a three-year period from August 2023 to July 2026, the University will develop intelligent tutoring systems using its existing QubitVR application to identify and address common student misconceptions about foundational quantum mechanics concepts. The...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $599,578 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to develop a direct manipulation programming system that integrates visual and textual representations of computer code. The 3-year project seeks to transform the nature of programming by making it more intuitive and accessible, especially for beginners, by allowing programmers to directly...
- This Project Grant award of $199,994 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will enhance undergraduate education in artificial intelligence applications at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV). The funding will secure a GPU computing cluster that will be integrated into core STEM courses in mathematics, statistics, data science, and computer science, benefiting an estimated 1,000 students and 10 faculty annually. The project aims to enrich...
The University of Texas at San Antonio was awarded a $240,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education under the federal STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop an educational tool called EVIDENT to improve concurrent computer programming instruction. Over three years, the University will create a debugging tool with reverse execution capabilities, develop visualizations of program execution order, and study the tool's effectiveness in classrooms. Key research questions involve whether replay-based debugging and visualization can enhance student learning and intuition of concurrency concepts. Formative assessments will evaluate different visualization strategies. Results aim to facilitate active learning and help instructors guide student understanding of concurrent programming techniques essential for modern applications.
