This National Science Foundation (NSF) IUSE: EDU program (CFDA 47.076) Project Grant award of $766,689 to Michigan State University aims to improve undergraduate physics education by increasing faculty integration of computational physics topics into courses. The four-year project will establish regional faculty development workshops across the country, targeting Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Two-Year Colleges (TYCs) to assist at least 50% of bachelor's granting physics departments and 25% of TYC departments. The project will also build a national community through workshops and leadership development, while conducting research on students' learning of computational physics to develop an assessment framework. The American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) is a sub-awardee, providing financial oversight and administrative support.
