This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $464,937 to Kettering University in Flint, Michigan to host a 3-year Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site focused on "Control and Sensing in Autonomous Vehicles". The award will fund 10 students per year to develop research skills and interests in the technical workforce contributing to autonomous vehicle development. Students will work on projects across disciplines including mechanical and electrical engineering, computer science, and physics, focusing on challenges such as automotive control systems, AI, microelectronics, vehicle safety, and injury risk metrics. The objective is to expose students to interdisciplinary research on autonomous vehicles, including development of control algorithms, sensing methods, cybersecurity, and vehicle dynamics. The REU site will specifically target recruiting from community colleges, baccalaureate institutions, and underrepresented groups in STEM fields. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
