This $399,890 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop an innovative curriculum that integrates artificial intelligence (AI) and social sciences to educate the next generation of technologists. The primary focus is on creating educational resources and experiences that enable engineering and computer science students to develop technical skills for creating AI-powered technologies, comprehension of how to use social science methods to understand the contexts for deploying AI, and the ability to integrate critical and technical perspectives to create beneficial technology. The award recipient, Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, Inc., will partner with local organizations serving blind and older adult job-seekers to ground the educational experience in real-world applications of AI. To increase the project's impact, the investigators will hold workshops to support faculty at other colleges and universities in adapting similar approaches, and will publish the curriculum and research findings for use by other educators. This work is expected to contribute to the engineering and computer science education research communities, as well as scholarly communities interested in technology for accessibility and aging.
