This federal Project Grant award, valued at $399,977 and awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, supports Alabama State University (ASU) in developing, implementing, and evaluating new artificial intelligence (AI) courses that immerse students in current methods through hands-on learning. The project aims to establish an AI laboratory and involve students and faculty in AI research, as well as foster early exposure and interest in AI among high school students. This initiative is intended to improve understanding of AI's mathematical foundations and incorporation of AI concepts in the classroom setting at ASU, a historically black university. The project will evaluate the influence of these AI-focused courses on student learning and employment outcomes, with the goal of expanding the nation's AI workforce and broadening participation in STEM fields.
