The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $400,000 project grant under the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Directorate for STEM Education (IUSE: EDU) program to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to incorporate generative artificial intelligence (AI) into engineering writing courses. The project aims to develop an engineering writing curriculum, an AI-enabled writing platform, and professional development to help instructors integrate AI writing tools into undergraduate engineering courses. The goal is to improve engineering students' writing skills and digital/AI literacy, enabling them to become knowledgeable and ethical users of generative AI in their writing and communication. The project will use a design-based implementation research approach to iteratively develop, implement, and evaluate these products, which will then be made publicly available to STEM instructors nationwide through workshops, webinars, and open-access publications.
