This $194,416 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to establish an interdisciplinary mixed reality (XR) engineering curriculum at Kennesaw State University and Georgia State University, two minority-serving institutions. The curriculum will prepare undergraduate students for careers as XR professionals and researchers, employing evidence-based pedagogical approaches like learning-by-doing and learning-by-teaching while integrating recent XR technology advances. The project will produce a comprehensive XR engineering curriculum, enriched learning materials, and engaging activities to boost student engagement, retention, and STEM participation, especially among women and minority students. The results will be disseminated to other institutions, particularly Historically Black Colleges and Universities, to strengthen the XR education ecosystem. No subawards are planned under this grant, which runs from October 2023 through September 2026.
