The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $600,482 Project Grant to Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA #47.083). This 3-year project, starting on September 1, 2023, will focus on increasing engineering education research at PVAMU, an HBCU that graduates a high number of Black engineers, using mixed reality (MR) technology as an active learning tool.

The project aims to create MR-based instructional environments that provide first-person, immersive learning experiences to improve learning outcomes in chemical, electrical, and computer engineering courses, which are predominantly taken by first-generation and underrepresented minority students. The research planned will address five key questions using descriptive, quasi-experimental, and qualitative methods to assess the degree of specific learning achieved and desired applications for MR in engineering education. This grant reflects NSF's mission to enhance the competitiveness of the nation's research and broaden participation in STEM fields.
